Does the Bible Really Teach the Trinity?
The word “trinity” isn’t even found in the Bible. So why do Christians say that Jesus is God, the Father is God and the Holy Spirit is God? Yet they’re constantly affirming that there is only one God. What evidence is there in Scripture that the “Trinity” isn’t some made-up fantasy?
False Teachers
How can we tell a false teacher from one who tells the truth? Can Christians be false teachers?
Victory Over Internet Porn
So many struggle with Internet porn. It may seem as if you’ve beat it one moment, then the next you’re watching it again. If you’re stuck in a cycle of sin with Internet porn and feeling hopeless–don’t lose hope! It is possible to win the battle against Internet porn. It can be done. If you want to win the battle, I can tell you how to do it. But I will also tell you that most people are too lazy to fight to win the battle against porn. We fail to bring our thoughts into captivity and because we do not gird up the loins of our minds (1 Peter 1:13), we continue to lose.
Believers Should Be Baptized
We believe that the Bible makes it clear that all Christians (believers in Jesus Christ) should be baptized. Scripture doesn’t leave a whole lot of room for argument on the subject. But does the Bible make it clear that in order to receive salvation, one must be baptized? We don’t think so.
Shaking the Dust — A Christian Poem
I know it’s not Christmas, but I’m going through all my pending items and posting them as I get to them. This poem was next in queue, so here it is. It describes a woman who doggedly ministers to the women of her church, as well as to anyone else she meets. If only I could be so bold.
Christians Are Fake
A site reader says that he’s met a lot of nasty, bigoted people who call themselves “Christians” who can quote Scripture. Well, we agree that there are a lot of people out there like that. Conversely, there are many nasty, bigoted people out there who hate Christ with a passion. Some of the people who claim the title of “Christian” don’t really follow Christ. Others do. We cannot judge Christianity based on the actions of sinful people.
Chosen By God
William’s Christian testimony is a story of how God brought him from darkness to light, from evil to good, from sinner to saint. I love stories like these because at times, we look at people and we say, “It’s too late for them. They’ll never amount to anything.” And we fail to give God the credit for what He’s able to do.
Elaine’s Christian Testimony
Elaine’s testimony is yet another example of how Christianity can (and should) appeal to one’s intellect. She considered herself one of the “enlightened” ones for years. Her New Age belief system taught her that Christians were liars, intolerant and controlling. She was on her way to perfection; she wanted to achieve that “Christ-consciousness.” Apparently she figured out that people will never be perfect and that there is only one Savior — Jesus Christ.
Into the Harvest — A Christian Poem
It’s easy to get so involved with daily life that we forget that the Spirit of God is alive and well and moving. It’s easy to get complacent and not desire to see the hand of God moving. In fact, at times we forget (or just don’t believe) that God is even capable of working mighty miracles. After all, this is 2013 and things like that just don’t happen.
