     | 521 views

    Self-control is a crucial virtue that every believer must cultivate. Without it, a person is vulnerable to sin, emotional outbursts, and spiritual failure. It is not merely about suppressing desires but about bringing them under the lordship of Christ.

Some found this rigorous system of inquiry too demanding and left. Today, the ...read more

    Evil and good live side by side, so we need to accept our sinfulness in order to receive our salvation. God in Christ takes on Himself the penalty we should receive.

If you are at all a pessimist, you will agree that bad things, destructive things, just happen. Nobody has to make them happen. They happen on their own. But good ...read more
