God’s dominate nature is love. John once said, “God is love” (1 John 4:8). Love, however, is not the only part of God’s nature. To a lesser degree, God is an unsparing God as well. It is not surprising that God would have less dominate aspects of His nature. After all, the same can be […]
Too many Christians feel a sense of guilt because of things that they have done in the past. This is totally unnecessary, and, in some cases, it is spiritually dangerous. Some have become so guilt-ridden that they become paralyzed spiritually, or even worse, they leave the faith. While allowing our past mistakes to keep us […]
After God created Adam and Eve and put them in a wonderfully-made garden, they broke the law of God, introducing sin into the world (Genesis 3:1-7). From that time on, all have followed in their steps by sinning against God, Thankfully, in this same chapter, we also find the prophecy of a Savior who would […]

The devil has blinded the eyes of those who reject Christ (2 Corinthians 4:4). As a result, the majority of people believe that they […]
In our last blog, we saw Jesus as our Passover Lamb. He was sacrificed on the cross to bring the possibility of salvation to all mankind. The Hebrews writer said that He “…by the grace of God should taste death for every man” (Hebrews 2;9). We thank God for the sacrifice Jesus made on our […]
On the 14th day of the first month, the Jews celebrated the Passover. It was to commemorate their exodus from Egypt. The primary portion of the Passover meal consisted of a lamb without blemish (Exodus 12:1-5). Today, as Christians, instead of observing the Passover, we observe the Lord’s Supper in re-membrance of Christ, our Passover […]
Being a Christian means being different. Never is this more obvious than when it comes to morality. This is because the standard that determines what is morally right and wrong for the Christian and non-Christian is so different. There is much moral skepticism in our society today.
