The organized patterns of relationships and interaction in society is what the Bible calls the “world”. Four basic principles will guide us to right thinking and action as we relate to society and politics, and the follower of Christ needs to keep them crystal clear.
Live and let live! Many roads lead to Heaven! How should the Christian relate to such views? Arm yourself with the mind of Christ, and cultivate an allegiance to Him that makes you live like someone who believes that the end of all things is at hand.
The Christian believes that the Author of Life has control of life—from the cradle to the grave. We honor His views, we value children, and we look to Him to give meaning to every life He has created.
Many times we are asked, "Why do you wear that cap you on your head?" The Christian woman's veiling is a Biblical command that many ignore or try to discredit today but brings blessing when practiced the way God intended.
Every child of God soon learns that the Christian life is a battleground. God’s children are soldiers; the Lord Jesus is the commanding officer; Satan is the adversary. In order to overcome our enemy we must put on the armor God has provided for us.
Throughout history, many believers have confused the eternal City of God with human and religious conterfeits. Believers who would truly build the church need an allegiance to the authentic "City of God."
What if today is the closest you will ever get to heaven? For Christians the good things on earth are only a taste of all the good they will know in glory. Many people are choosing by their choices to to to hell. Are you as close to Heaven as you will ever get? Will you do something about it?
Before we can love and respect strangers, we must love and respect our parents. This is much easier if the parents are what they should be but God did not say that ungodly living on their part exempts us from keeping this command. His blessing will go to those who obey.
Like a compass, the conscience guides us, helps us keep our moral bearings, know what is right and wrong. The Word of God and a sharp conscience will help us sort through the confusing situations that life sometimes brings us. Learn how to keep a good conscience, void of offense, before God and men.
Is consecration the same as dedication? Does consecration have anything to do with choices? Who has the first word when it comes to the decision a consecrated Christian needs to make? And who will have the last word?
The virtue of contentment is not natural to the human heart. Even back in the early church materialism was a danger that Paul was led to warn others off.
The criminal and the King were crucified side by side. Amid their punishment, the criminal was the first to fully see past the cross to the King coming into His kingdom.
At the heart of genuine Christianity, is a stunningly "other" way of life—the cross life. In a world defined by the dynamics of law, wisdom and power, is your life defined by the otherness of the cross?
From His very own mother to the religious Pharisees, and from John the disciple to the soldiers who crucified Him, many watched Christ die. Weep with those who wept; discover Jesus with those who discovered Jesus—Jesus, Who died as few men die.
