You're Not Simple, And Neither Is God

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Jun 14, 2025

People want a "simple religion" and want to make God simple. Yet we ourselves are not simple at all, so how could our Creator be? Though God is complex, in Trinity, he displays for us love within that union, a love which models for us the love we should have for each other.

Good Morning. Give me a simple religion. It’s what a lot of people want, and it’s what a lot of people have tried to turn Christianity into through the years. Of course, if someone calls US simple, we are very offended. Yet somehow, we think the God who made us has to be simpler than we are. I am ...read more

The Eternal Destiny Of Those Who've Never Heard The Gospel Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

Charles Spurgeon was once asked his opinion about those who had never heard of Jesus or the gospel. His response sting rings true today: “How can they be saved without ever hearing about Jesus? We should rather ask, how can we be saved if we do nothing to take the gospel to them?”

What is the fate of those who have never heard the gospel? What about the innocent person in a far-away land that has never heard of Jesus? Are they thrown into hell even if they haven’t heard of Jesus? Another way of asking this question is this: how does God deal with people who have different ...read more

When we give, we partner with others who preach the Gospel, we plant seeds that result in blessing, and we praise God for the gift of salvation. God wants us to give because we want to, not because we have to. We should give out of the joy of our hearts for all that God has done for us.
