    Here, Jesus answers some important questions: “What is true Christianity?” “What are the marks of a true disciple?” “How are we to understand and explain our actual relationship to God through Jesus Christ?” These are foundational questions and fundamental questions for our life as true believers.

    Natalie, age 9, said, “Don't say you love somebody and then change your mind. Love isn't like picking what movie you want to watch.” Good advice! But if you want really good advice about love and marriage, the Bible is the place to go.

    Pseudo-Science Vs. Sanctification

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Feb 23, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,681 views

    The Bible implores every Christian to “live by the Spirit” (Gal 5:16 NIV). This is no easy task and requires full submission to God of every minute detail of one’s life. Through the centuries church leaders have used numerous ways to motivate and encourage people to live and walk in the Spirit.

    Some of the most recent human-made ideas to help bring about “spiritual” living, and help Christians better understand themselves - as well as others - to live in unity and purpose together, is the use of personality tests and gift assessments. Psychological job placement and career tests are used ...read more

    Marriage or singleness, celibacy or asceticism. The issue, whatever state we happen to be in, is this: "unhindered devotion to the Lord." Married or single, this is what matters: is your mind set on the things of the Lord? Are your energies directed to se

    You can almost imagine Paul, sitting at his desk, with the letter that the Corinthians have sent him in his hand, as he dictates his reply.

    Jesus Christ came so we could have Christmas, because like Edmund wanting more Turkish Delight, we were sinners wanting and lusting after everything but God.
