The Source Of Our Temptation Series

Contributed by Daniel Teberian on Mar 12, 2023

What causes us to be tempted? Where do we get our desire to do that which the Lord has commanded us not to do? James explains the way we are tempted, where our temptation comes from, and where our temptation leads us.

But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings ...read more

A Realistic Humanism Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 28, 2006

Our chief purpose in being human is to love God with all our heart and soul and mind and strength. How can we do that after the fall? Through God’s power, through God’s Holy Spirit, given to all who have faith in Jesus Christ.

What is it that God desires of us as men and women? Why has he made us in his image? What’s our reason for being here? There are probably a number of answers that someone might give to those questions. The Westminster Shorter Catechism asks: "What is the chief end of man?", then gives the answer: ...read more

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 28, 2006

Humanity is at the same time insignificant and the pinnacle of God’s work of creation
