Everyone in this world has a common enemy. I am, of course, referring to Satan, and if you are a Christian you should be extremely thankful that you have been delivered from his evil grasp. One way we can show our appreciation is by trying our best to help as many as we can to […]
1 Corinthians 4:1 (ESV) 1 This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. The saints at Corinth were regressing in their Christianity due, in part, to their carnal view of ministers (1 Corinthians 3:1-7). Paul was being very straightforward with these saints so that they […]
Matthew 16:21-23 (ESV) 21 From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised. 22 And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be […]
There is a dangerous doctrine in the religious world that says once a person is saved it is impossible to fall from grace. A person who believes that might put his guard down and become vulnerable to the attacks of Satan. The saints at Corinth were in danger of this because, in their arrogance, they […]
Romans 8:9 (ESV) 9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. As Christians, the Spirit of God plays a significant role in our lives as He guides […]

The prophet was speaking of the New Testament church when referencing the Lord’s house. The church is the house of God (1 Timothy 3:15). This church, the church promised by Christ […]
Most Bible believing people are familiar with Calvinism. If you are not, it is a doctrine that suggests that all human beings are born sinners because of the sin of Adam and Eve. Calvinists believe that the fall of Adam was the fall of all of mankind. It is interesting that they claim that we […]
“Please yourself” seems to be the mantra that rings through the halls of society today. While doing good for others is applauded, putting ourselves first is the practical thing to do, at least that is what the world says. The shelves of bookstores are full of books on self (self-love, self-care, self-improvement, self-development, self-made, etc.). […]
Do you want to go to heaven? I think I know the answer to that question. The answer is probably the same for everyone reading this blog tonight. We all want to be saved and spend eternity with God and all the saints. The question is how do we turn this hope into reality? What […]

Some people are timid by nature, allowing others to walk all over them, while others, seem to have been born with a bold personality, never shy about voicing their views on things, and even confronting others when there is a disagreement. Most of us probably fall somewhere in the middle […]
