How Should Christians Deal With Mental Illness?

18/01/2017 0 Comment

How should Christians respond to mental illness in other Christians or in their own life?

Mental Illness Stigmas
Perhaps the best way to look at mental illness is the way you look at any other illness. Often the illness is not self-induced, so people are frequently an innocent victim of their circumstances. With mental illness, this too is not usually self-induced, and like any other illness, there is a physiological cause for it. It could be a simple chemical imbalance in the brain, it could b..

To Reach Young People, We Need to “Become Like Children”

18/01/2017 0 Comment

My grandparents were young at heart. They were our role models growing up; the one example Susie and I had of an intact, godly married couple. But more than that, they “connected” with us many years before we would become married adults ourselves. Back when we were dating as teenagers, we would drive out to my grandparent’s home to spend a week with them, sitting around the dining room table talking over a meal or a playing a game of Rummikub. They were 45 years older, but you wouldn’t have know..

What Is Faithism And The Oahspe Bible?

What is Faithism? Have you read about it before? What about the Oahspe Bible?

Saving Faith
The Bible makes it clear that it is “by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast” (Eph 2:8-9), however, just because it’s free doesn’t mean it’s cheap. In fact, it wasn’t free to the Father or the Son of God. It was as costly as anything that has ever been paid because just one tiny drop of the precious ..

6 Important Bible Verses About Food

16/01/2017 0 Comment

Here are six important Bible verses about food.

John 6:51 “I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”

There is nothing more important about food in this life than to seek the Bread of Life, Jesus Christ. He is the “living bread that came down from heaven” and He is still satisfying those who have been brought to repentance and faith in Christ. Bread satisfies for a ..

What the Case Looks Like When Young People Are Your Jury

16/01/2017 0 Comment

When I was a new Christian and my two boys were still very young, they were hesitant about sitting in the children’s ministry class during our weekly church service. I decided to join them for two or three weeks until they got comfortable. You know what happens when an adult sits in a children’s ministry class for more than one week? That’s right, you become a children’s ministry volunteer! It wasn’t long before I was asked to help out and become a teacher for 1st-3rd graders. I eventually enter..

How Can You Love the Unlovely (Unlovable): A Christian Study

13/01/2017 0 Comment

Throughout the years I have been challenged on several occasions to “love” someone who was truly unlovely. Why love them, you may ask? Over and over again in God’s word He tells us and even sometimes admonishes us to love. True, there are times when we might choose to hate someone rather than love them, but when we choose hatred over love we might just miss out on some blessings. In this Christian study walk with me through some Bible examples of how you can choose to love the unlovely.

The Thing That Justifies You Is Your God

13/01/2017 0 Comment

As Christians who ought to understand the role and importance of worship, most of us have limited our view and experience of worship to the singing of songs on Sunday morning. The New Testament Greek word most frequently translated as “worship” (proskuneo) means “to fall or bow down before”, but worship (as described in Christian scripture) is more than an occasional activity. It is an attitude of the heart. For this reason, each of us can (and ought to) possess an attitude of worship that trans..

Will All Israel Be Saved?

12/01/2017 0 Comment

The Bible says that “All Israel will be saved” but does this mean every single Israelite or Jew will be saved?

Saved from What?
Many who are critiques of the Bible and of God don’t see why they need saving? They ask, “Saved from what?” They might believe they are being saved from hell but whom or what are they (and we) actually saved from? Surprisingly, we are saved by God but saved from God. In other words, when we are saved, we are saved or spared from the wrath of God which abides on every p..

How To Find Satisfaction In God

11/01/2017 0 Comment

Is there a way to find satisfaction in God? Yes, and here’s how.

Finding God
I love John Piper’s quote that “God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.” That’s not only one of the greatest sayings I’ve ever heard, by being satisfied in God, it’s one of the chief ways we can find satisfaction in Him, but how does Mr. Piper, and how do we find satisfaction in God? Can we find out how to be most satisfied in God from being in God’s Word? And, can we learn how to be satisfied in..

Does the Description of the Demoniac(s) Demonstrate a Dilemma?

11/01/2017 0 Comment

When skeptics challenge the reliability of the Gospels, they often point to apparent contradictions in the accounts to make their case. One example of this can be found by comparing the demoniacs of Gadara mentioned in Matthew 8:28-34 to the demoniac of Gerasa described in Mark 5:1-20. Both Mark and Matthew appear to be describing the same healing, yet there are two immediate differences in the accounts:

Matthew 8:28
When He came to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, two men who ..
