Sin: Keeping Up Appearances

Contributed by Peter Loughman on Mar 18, 2007

Are we more concerned about appearing Christian than we are with being a Christian. How far will we go to keep a Christian reputation and hide our sin?

A rather pompous deacon was endeavoring to impress upon a class of boys the importance of living the Christian life. "Why do people call me a Christian?" the man asked. After a moment’s pause, one youngster said, "Maybe it’s because they don’t know you." I wonder…..could that be said of us? ...read more

Contributed by John Tristan Jayme on Oct 16, 2022

Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

The Apostle Of Love Addresses Sin

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 20, 2017

John was noted as being the Apostle of Love, and he wanted his church family to have a clear conscience, a sense of security, and an appreciation for their Savior. This meant straight talk about sin, forgiveness, and even apostasy.

Belonging At The King's Table Series

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 14, 2022

I love this story! It’s a story of incredible, undeserved kindness. We live in a harsh world, and while there are stories of kindness out there, it’s far too uncommon. The world will show kindness to its own, but we are called to show kindness to anyone and everyone, even our enemies. But why?

Barzillai Series

Contributed by Bala Samson on Jul 23, 2013
