Gill’s Christian Testimony

. . . because of a crime which happened 20 years earlier in my youth, I was now a three strikes candidate. Gill’s testimony.

Sometimes bad things happen to us but they happen to us for our good. Gill was arrested on marijuana possession charges. He thought he’d be released right away. He was arrogant. Cocky. He couldn’t believe he’d even been arrested. But because of a crime he’d committed 20 years earlier in his youth, he was a three-strikes candidate. What does that mean? Read his story to find out.

Do We Have Apostles and Prophets Today?

Apostles and prophets—how are they different and do they exist today?

Apostles—do they exist today? Or were the 12 men identified by Jesus the only real apostles? What about prophets? Do we have prophets today? Are they different than apostles? And if we do have apostles and prophets today, how can they be identified? How can we know for sure who’s for real and who’s a fake?

My Husband is Drinking

Serving Jesus when life really sucks isn’t easy but it’s essential.

I often find myself in situations I don’t like. I often find myself being treated poorly by others. I haven’t experienced this in my marriage, but what if I did? How would I react?

Living for Jesus isn’t always easy, but it should always, as Christians, be our number one priority. Even in extra-difficult situations we should seek to please Jesus and do as He would have us do. Please don’t think I’m being preachy; I fail miserably all the time. But even through my failures, I know that seeking to love and serve Jesus Christ should always be first in my mind.

Am I Qualified to Preach?

Am I, a sinner, qualified to preach?

I’m a sinner. But I’ve been asked to preach. I’m about to preach my first sermon. But as I said, I’m a sinner. In fact, I struggle with drugs. I don’t feel qualified to preach God’s holy word. But I believe in Him. I love Him. I’m determined to overcome my sin. Should I preach the sermon?

Paul’s Gospel

Was Paul a self-appointed apostle and a liar? Or should Christians be studying his stuff as the basis for their faith?

A site reader told us that her pastor taught only the Pauline epistles. The pastor went so far as to say that Christians only need study Paul’s writings. But then the reader also heard others claim that Paul was a self-appointed apostle and a liar. So which is it?

People are the Problem—Not Marijuana

Anything can be abused. People need to stop blaming marijuana and start looking at the real source of the trouble.

Marijuana’s a great plant. It’s got all sorts of wonderful uses. People need to get off their high horse and stop blaming an innocent plant for all the world’s problems. Marijuana isn’t the problem. People are the problem. The problem comes when people abuse the plant.

Jeffrey’s Christian Testimony

Satisfaction can’t be found in relationships, drugs, jobs—it can only be found in a relationship with the Jesus of the Bible.

Jeffrey looked for happiness in a lot of places. He tried marriage and having a family. But his marriage ended in divorce. He tried drugs. He tried other relationships. He tried different jobs. Nothing provided lasting satisfaction. Finally he tried Jesus. The rest is history.
