John says in his first epistle, “We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren.” In general disposition, true people of God will find more comfort with true people of God – those of like precious faith – than with the world. Because our bond is in Christ, we are united to love one […]
» Read moreWitchcraft may not be a huge threat in many or most of our lives; nevertheless, we understand from our list that our flesh veers, at least in very minute forms, toward some sort of witchcraft. While true believers cannot be demon possessed and will not immerse themselves in metaphysical cults, there are dangers that come with giving place to the Devil. […]
» Read moreOne of the most exclusive statements in Scripture is this: “I am the Lord thy God… thou shalt have no other God’s before me.” The Law began with a declaration of God’s unquestionable supremacy, for its knowledge is the foundation of all obedience. Then the first commandment given was for Israel to recognize that statement and act upon it. In […]
» Read moreWe have looked in the past at sexual sin and its results, as well as pornography. These could be classified as actions, but we still must address the issue of impurity in lifestyle: uncleanness. One may not be addicted to pornography. One may not have fallen into fornication. But there are many who put on “holy” faces, while compromising […]
» Read moreIn today’s demoralized culture, there is no longer such a thing as sexual sin: it is no longer even an “alternate lifestyle.” Rather it is glorified as normal, and if one is to have convictions about marriage and purity, well then, he is intolerant and bigoted.

Though Paul does not fully develop the topic here, there are various other Scriptures which […]
» Read moreThis I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye […]
» Read more“We are secure as long as we remain in Christ. A life of obedience to the teaching of God’s Word – a life of “good works” – is necessary for the Christian to grow spiritually and remain in the grace of God.” To the average Biblical Christian, this quote is clearly filled with error in more ways than one. Yet […]
» Read moreThe subject of limited atonement is tremendously vital to refute, for it is in fact a heresy that has arisen to be “common Christian doctrine” to many, when it is actually far from Scripture. And to prove its lack of basis, we have looked at five verses that clearly show why it cannot be considered as true. But we are […]
» Read moreLimited Atonement is the third premise for Calvinism’s TULIP acronym, and it is the belief that Christ’s blood was only shed for the elect and that there is no provision made for the reprobate to be saved, since he has been elected to Hell, which in the Calvinist’s mind begs the question “Why would Christ ‘waste’ His blood on those […]
