A Risky Business

Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Nov 15, 2014

A perspective on Luke 5: 1-11. How does one give their life to Jesus? There is only one step. Listen to the Word of God. The rest is up to Jesus.

Can A Genuine Believer Lose Their Salvation?

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 27, 2023

This is the concept of remaining in faith. Abiding in Christ. We must hold fast to our faith, not drifting away, while also knowing that Christ holds us firm, and we do not need to fear the Father losing his hold on us. This sacred balance is a difficult one.

Once an unbeliever has given their life to Christ, been regenerated by the Holy Spirit, reborn of Christ, and placed into the kingdom of God, can such a person fall away, and lose their salvation? This question is so incredibly important. It goes to the very core of the gospel: How does it ...read more

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on May 18, 2025

Should we settle for Gibeonite justice or is there something better? Let's begin in 2 Samuel 21.

The Dragon’s War And The Saints’ Victory

Revelation 12 is a vision of cosmic conflict—Christ ascends victorious, Satan is cast down, and the Church finds herself the target of the Dragon’s wrath.
