Putting To Death The Sins Of The Flesh

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 10, 2024

We have no reason to say that we are caught in sin, because we don’t have to. That’s what it says. We are under no obligation to agree with the sinful nature when it wants to do something bad. Instead, the Spirit makes us free.

We’ve been building a structure, and it’s based around what it means to be a follower of Jesus. We’ve talked about the fact that a Christian walks by faith, trusting in God and following God’s leading even when it seems odd or strange. We’ve talked about how a follower of Jesus seeks and ...read more

Living Life In The Face Of Death

Contributed by Nathan Eyland on Jan 23, 2005

A look at life in the face of inevitable death.

Sin Leading Unto Death

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 9, 2022

The Bible tells us that there is a sin that leads unto death - one single sin - and it might not be what we expect. In fact, this one disqualifying sin will exclude us from ever going to heaven and receiving eternal life. So, what is this sin?

If there was a crime worthy of death, what would it be? Would it be murder, rape, spouse abuse, adultery, theft, gambling, or perhaps lying? Many of us would say that murder is worthy of the death penalty; and if any of us had a child that were raped, we would probably believe the person who ...read more
