     | 571 views

    Is there any such thing like the right type of anger in Christianity? Absolutely! There is the anger that leads to sin and has dire consequences and gives glory to the devil and there is the type of anger that disrupts satan’s work and give God the glory and honor.

     | 4,923 views

    I don’t like “if”. If if requires me to do something in order to get something good, I’d rather depend on the certainty of God’s work. God doesn’t require much-all I have to do is continue in the faith Paul serves. That’s easy, right?

    A few days ago we talked about our security in Christ. Our salvation and acceptance before God are secure because it is based on Jesus and His work and sacrifice, not on ours. Here Paul presents the other side of the coin of security. If That’s a conditional word. We’re reconciled to God through ...read more
