    By the world's standards the men and women in Hebrews 11 were anything but successes but in God's eyes they succeeded. Based on their testimony, the opening of Hebrews 12 tells us what it will take for us to live successful Christian lives.

    Can A Christian Use Marijuana?

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Aug 28, 2015
     | 5,919 views

    With the legalization of the recreational use of marijuana, the Christian must evaluate if using pot is an acceptable practice or a sin.

    In those States where the use and sell of Marijuana is illegal, the answer is straightforward. The Christian must abide by the laws of secular government (Romans 13:1-2, 5) which means that the use and sell of Marijuana is clearly prohibited. As our Nation moves closer to the legalization of ...read more

    When we talk to the genuinely curious, we show God’s love. We show that we want to be with God and want others to be with him. We will love the things and people that he loves. We will hate the things and people that he hates. We will love others.

Jesus had just healed the paralyzed man at the pool of Bethsaida, and the healing took place on the Jewish Sabbath. The Jews had strict rules about what could and ...read more
