    What’s the origin and solution to sin?

    What’s the origin and solution to sin? Sin actually began in the angelic realm.

    The Absolute Source Of All Goodness

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Aug 26, 2025
     | 115 views

    In a world of shadows and decay, our hope is anchored in the absolute, unchanging goodness of God, who, as the ultimate Giver, sovereignly chose to give us His greatest gift: a new and eternal life through the word of truth.

    Introduction: From the Morgue to the Nursery Last time, we ended our time together in a very dark place. James gave us a clinical, almost cold, "anatomy of a sin." He showed us the grim, predictable life cycle of temptation: how our own desire conceives and gives birth to sin, and how ...read more

Opened it as if it was a delievered letter, and read the text.) That’s it. The letter, or as we know it today, the entire book ...read more

    This continues in my expository series through the book of Acts.

    There’s no getting around the fact that today’s text contains a part that strikes us as humorous, and the fact of the matter is that sometimes, we can do some funny things in church. A preacher was completing a temperance sermon: with great expression he said, “If I had all the beer in the ...read more

    based on 64 ratings
     | 8,812 views

    Knowing the Bible helps us remember how to navigate through life issues, how to interpret what is happening in our lives, and how to find hope in bleak times.

    At the very end of the longest chapter of the Bible, 176 verses about God’s word, comes this stout declaration, “I do not forget your commandments.” “I do not forget your commandments.” That is a tall order, to promise that you will not forget. How can you promise that you will not forget? ...read more
