    Have We Had The Saint’s Test? Series

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 3, 2022
     | 1,202 views

    We must love others. We are to love in deed and in truth and not just in word.

    1 John 3:11-24 depicts the differentiation among love and hate, and how love should be found in the existence of every Christian believer. Evil has an envious scorn for goodness. For this reason, Cain killed Abel, and it is why hatred is viewed as murder’s spiritual identical. Christians are relied ...read more

    What Does Love Have To Do With It?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jun 25, 2023
     | 1,065 views

    John 13:31-35 contains perhaps the most remarkable command given to Christians: that love for others is the characterizing indication of faith for ''all individuals,'' denoting the existence of a genuine believer.

    Jesus outlines this as a new commandment, utilizing His own model as the norm. In giving this charge, Jesus indeed predicts His looming demise and exit from earth. To cherish others was not another new commandment (Leviticus 19:18), but rather to love others just as like Christ loved others was ...read more

    Do You Know Him? (Matthew 7:21-29)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 24, 2024
     | 872 views

    Jesus warns that just because we have done "works" for Him doesn't mean that we know Him personally. Be certain of your own salvation and have built your home upon the Rock.

    Dr. Frank Turek, noted Christian apologist and evangelist, has referred to Matthew 7:21-23 as the most terrifying words in all of the Bible. It is a warning against assumption, intentions, works, and false belief, all being evidence that Jesus Himself will use on the Day of Judgment as a warning ...read more

    No More Excuses!

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Oct 9, 2024
     | 1,115 views

    Jesus shows us the importance of radical obedience through the encounter with three would-be disciples that offered excuses for not wanting to immediately go with Jesus.

    IN THE WALT DISNEY MOVIE, “ALICE IN WONDERLAND,” ALICE FINDS HERSELF AT A FORK IN THE ROAD. AS SHE CONTEMPLATED HER DECISION, SHE NOTICES A CHESHIRE CAT UP IN THE TREE. UNDECIDED ON WHICH ROAD TO TAKE, ALICE THEN ASKS THE CHESHIRE CAT, “WHICH ROAD DO I TAKE?” THE CAT RESPONDS, “WHERE DO YOU WANT ...read more

    Does A Friend Need To Love At All Times?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 26, 2025
     | 345 views

    Knowing someone and being a friend to someone are not the same.

    What sort of companion or friend am I? There is a tremendous contrast between knowing somebody well and being a genuine friend. The best proof of certifiable friendship is steadfast loyalty. Our friendship with others should not lessen due to unforeseen circumstances. There is no one but Christ ...read more
