Pseudo-Science Vs. Sanctification

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Feb 23, 2019

The Bible implores every Christian to “live by the Spirit” (Gal 5:16 NIV). This is no easy task and requires full submission to God of every minute detail of one’s life. Through the centuries church leaders have used numerous ways to motivate and encourage people to live and walk in the Spirit.

Some of the most recent human-made ideas to help bring about “spiritual” living, and help Christians better understand themselves - as well as others - to live in unity and purpose together, is the use of personality tests and gift assessments. Psychological job placement and career tests are used ...read more

Contributed by Craig Benner on Sep 19, 2023

Perserverance is not as common as it once was. Society has made it too easy to quit, change course, or just make up an excuse for not following through. God is still looking for loyalists.

Portraits of Loyalty Mt 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Loyalty is a virtue. It is a commitment. It is durability.
