A Bible Study On Self-Control

Here is a Bible study on self-control.

Self- Control
Self-control has been defined as the ability to control one’s emotions and behavior in the face of temptations and impulses. That’s a very good definition but If it’s truly “self” control that the Christian is attempting to do, then we’re all in deep trouble because we can’t even come to Christ without God’s help (John 6:44). If I am depending on my own “self” in controlling the same, then I can never truly hope to live a holy life that is pl..

How Does The Bible Define Agape Love?

How does the Bible define “agape” love? What’s the difference between it and the other kinds of love?

Eros Love
There are four types of love that we know about but only 3 of the 4 are mentioned in the Bible, but they are all most definitely not the same kind of love. For example, Eros (pronounced AIR – Os) love is the type of love that men and women have for one another within marriage and even though Eros is not mentioned specifically in the Bible, it is inferred when the Apostle Paul refers t..

How Many Children Did Job Have?

Many times when helping people with life issues, I reference some of the things that Job went through. One area that surprises some people is how Job lost his children in a wind storm. If you work your way through the account, you find that Job learned many lessons along the way. I am sure that one of the hardest lessons he learned was the loss of his children and the rejection of his wife. We will look at how many children Job had and how God ministered to him during this tragic time.

We Can Corroborate the Gospels without Verifying Every Detail

When jurors evaluate witnesses in criminal cases, they examine evidence in an effort to corroborate the statements offered by these witnesses. Jurors are looking for some limited confirmation of the facts offered on the stand. Imagine, for example, a witness testifies that the robbery suspect approached the bank teller, pointed a gun at her (using his right hand), began to climb up onto the counter (using his left hand), screamed at the teller, and demanded that she give him the money from the c..

5 Clean Church Camp Pranks

Here are five really great, clean church camp pranks you can play on others. A note of caution, any pranks you choose to use at a church camp or retreat should never, ever come close to hurting or injuring someone and even if there’s a risk, I suggest you don’t do it. It’s never fun when someone gets hurt or humiliated before their friends or the church camp. Of course, that advice would apply to anywhere you are and not just with church activities. It’s never fun when someone gets hurt, but it’..

Milwaukee Brewer Chase Anderson Finds Lessons to Live by in Grandmother’s Bible

Death of a parent is a life-changing experience. However, through our grief, we often have a closer encounter with our Lord Jesus Christ. Chase Anderson, a starting pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers, had one such spiritual experience.

Chase grew up in Wichita Falls, Texas. His father went to the United Methodist Church growing up; and when he was young, Chase often went with his grandmother there. Later, as he got older, he would also attend the Colonial Baptist Church.

When Chase was in middl..

What Does A Freewill Offering Mean?

What does it mean to give a freewill offering in the Bible? Is that something we can do in our day too?

Freewill
Freewill is the freedom to choose one thing over another or to do something or nothing. Even making no choice becomes a choice…all because of freewill. Jesus said “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16) so the “whoever” indicates that whoever chooses to believe in Jesus will be saved, al..

The Gospels Are Reliable Even With Many Redactions

I’m often asked to make the case for the reliability of the Gospels in spite of the presence of scribal variants throughout the text. Remember that criminal courts do not require eyewitnesses to be inerrant to be considered reliable. In order to illustrate the trustworthiness of the text, I typically offer the following hypothetical. First, allow the skeptic to identify all the textual variants in the Gospels based on a comparison of all available manuscripts. Next, to make the point more dramat..

Great KJV Bible Verses About Earth

God created the Earth and put man on it to take care of it. When He was finished with His creation He said that it was very good (Genesis 1:31).

God Created the Earth and Everything On it
Genesis 1:1 – In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Genesis 2:1-25 – Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of the..
