Someone sent in a question (a few years back; well, in 2012, so like 12 years back) about whether or not they had committed the unpardonable sin. As always, Tim had a response.

Someone Thought That We Think Something We Don’t . . .
A while back (a LONG while back), someone wrote in and reprimanded us for posting content that they thought promoted the idea that works are a prerequisite for salvation. Tim wrote back and here is what he said.
Where Did Paul Get His Inspiration? From God? From Other Apostles?
What resources did the apostle Paul have to write his epistles and letters? Was Paul’s inspiration divine revelation or did he have other apostolic writings? From my reading of the Book of Acts he appeared to have limited personal interaction with the other apostles.
Can God Help Me With Finances? With Mental Health? With Sickness?
There is little doubt that Jesus Christ can help with financial problems, mental issues, debts, and illnesses. But even if He helped with all of these matters, as serious as they are, and left us in our sins, we would be helped not at all.

So, the latter Christian (the real one) wrote this article about the sovereign God and how He cares about everything, even the winner or loser in a seemingly unimportant game of Cribbage.
John 14:26 Tells Me to Hate My Parents
John 14:26 can be a confusing verse. It talks about how unless we hate our parents and our families, that we cannot be disciples of Christ. Tim takes a quick look at this statement and gives his take.
