The Faith Of AbrahamWhat is faith?We are told that faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see and that it comes from hearing the Word. The Bible also says that without faith it is impossible to please God (Heb 11:1, 6, Rom 10:17). So, in order to please God we must have faith in the unseen; we are called on to believe simply because the Word of God says so. It is very easy to say, “Yes, I have faith, I believe”, but the fact is these are just words. It is easy to…See More

Many Christians believe that Paul lived his life as a struggling sinner and they use what he said in Romans 7 as an excuse to justify their sin. In Rom. 7:15, 19 Paul said, "... 15 what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do … 17 it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me ... 19 what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do - this I keep on doing." These verses seem to say that Paul was continually overcome by his sinful nature. Because of…See More

Do Not Grieve The Spirit“Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God,with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption”.(Eph. 4:30) The gift of the Holy Spirit is God's seal of approval for anyone who repents of their sins and puts their trust in Jesus but what is the full purpose of the Spirit and how can we grieve the Spirit of God? Firstly, what is the Spirit's purpose in our life?The Holy Spirit:Brings glory to Jesus by revealing Him to us and through us (John 16:14).Witnesses to us that we are…See More

Love One Another"A new command I give you: Love one another.As I have loved you, so you must love one another".(John 13:34) Jesus gave us a new command to love one another. When we honestly look at how we react to some people at times we find that we fall short of this command, to say the least. Loving others is Jesus' number one command yet we can think of it as being just too hard to do or something that is done only by people we read about. In our blindness, we can put love at the end of our…See More

LOSING OUR REWARDS Some Christians believe that if a saved person enters into a sinful lifestyle and fails to repent then he will still get to heaven but will lose rewards. Their proof text is 1 Cor. 3:13-15 which say, “his work will be shown for what it is … the fire will test the quality of each man's work ... If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames”. Notice that these verses are referring to the testing of a man's work,…See More

SEEKING THE KINGDOM In Matt. 6:33, Jesus said, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well”. When you pray, what is it that you seek from Jesus? Do you seek first his kingdom and his righteousness or do you go to Him with a list of personal wants? Do you ask Him to work through you or to work for you? Do you seek the miraculous to puff yourself up or do you seek to be a humble servant as the Lord requests? I think that we have all been…See More

FAITH AND WORKS"As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead" James 2:26. What is the connection between faith and works? Is there a conflict between what Paul and James say? In Eph. 2:8-9, Paul tells us that we are saved by faith and not by works, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast". But then James 2:26 says that “faith without deeds is dead”. It appears…See More

SHEPHERDING THE SHEEP In this article, I would like to talk about the responsibility church leaders have as“shepherds of the church of God” (Acts 20:28). A shepherd has full responsibility for his flock. He takes care of his sheep by leading them to good pasture and protecting them from dangers such as thieves and wolves. In the same way, a shepherd of God's church must feed believers with sound doctrine and guide them into a close relationship with Jesus who will protect them from sin and the…See More

Christians and Judging Many Christians say that we should not judge but in this article I would like to show that God commands us to judge for two very good reasons.1) To help our brothers and sisters remain on the Narrow Road of salvation.2) To keep the church pure, separated from both sin and false teaching. Many Christians misinterpret what the Bible says about judging and say that we should never judge. In Matthew 7:1-5, Jesus did say not to judge but a close look at these verses will show…See More

PERSEVERANCE OF THE SAINTS To persevere means to continue to do something even when it is hard to do. The Bible tells us that we must persevere in holiness otherwise we may lose our salvation.In this article I would like to do two things:Firstly, I will give two examples which show that Christians can lose their salvation if they don't persevere.Secondly, I will explain how to persevere. The first verse I would like to look at to show that a Christian can lose his salvation was written to…See More

The Power Of Sin All Christians know about the great spiritual struggle between their sinful nature and the Spirit of God. Galatians 5:17 tells us all about that struggle where it says, "the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want." The following testimony is to tell how the Lord delivered me from smoking and drinking. This experience showed me a very…See More

The Return Of Jesus“For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever” (1 Thess. 4:16-17).When will this happen?There is so much happening in the world today that most people believe Jesus will return…See More
