    Based on Genesis 22:1-14 I examine what God requires from us in our faith life.

    Faith is a matter of life or death. In Romans 6:23 we are told that the wage of the sinner is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord. We either believe in God and walk with Him by faith throughout our lives, accepting Him as our Lord and Saviour and have eternal life ...read more

    You are either helping someone get closer to Christ (4 friends that carried the paralytic) or hinder them from receiving a healing (like the crowd)

    From an early age, I was told that there are two types of friends in this world. One that would make you a better person and the other that would drag you down. When I was in junior high, I ran away from home. It was about a comment that my mom made on a Sunday afternoon that made me SO UPSET! As ...read more

    The Judaizers, who were a legalistic Jewish party, tried to combine Christ’s message of salvation within the context of the Mosaic Law. Immature Christians believed their distorted teachings, which demanded more than justification by faith alone.

    Departing from God does not necessarily mean a physical departing in which a person goes fully back into the world from which he was redeemed – while this is true of some for many others it is a spiritual departing.

    Many Christians depart from God; Why? What’s God’s remedy? Jo 6:66 From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him (with Jesus) no more. What are some of the direct causes for Christians to no longer actively walk with God? Love of a sin more than of ...read more
