What Is Sinful?

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Aug 29, 2023

A question that I get from time to time: How do you determine what is sinful? Jesus' answer is it is sinful if it violates either of the Two Great Commandments

Church Members In Hell

Unrequited Love

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Sep 28, 2023

Why doesn't God divorce his unfaithful people? We would, in his place.

Hosea must have been crazy. God told him to marry a prostitute named Gomer, and so he did. Now, stories of reformed prostitutes who settle down and become good wives and mothers are a staple of romantic fiction.

The Guilt Game

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Feb 12, 2022

Contrary to popular opinion, for the most part, guilt can be good!

In the Bible, the primary use of the word "guilt" is a legal term that defines humanity's standing before God. Adam's relationship with the Lord dramatically changed after he sinned in the Garden of Eden. For the first time in eternity, the created became afraid of the ...read more

How many of you are inspired by Art? Motivated by music? Stirred by a poem? Touched by colors, patterns, and designs? Moved by nature? Changed by Relationships? In a very similar way – we should be inspired, motivated, stirred, touched, moved, and changed by our Prayer Life. Prayer – The ...read more

Joseph Son Of Jacob

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 19, 2022

Joseph was treated with favoritism and bad relations with his brothers festered. He spent 13 years of suffering. Yet, he was a man of faith. What can we learn from his life?

Telling his brothers of a dream that they would bow down to him, made matters even worse, and bad relations between them festered. “Joseph, being seventeen years old, was pasturing the flock with his brothers. He ...read more
