Legalism Versus Love Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 17, 2021

We are in a world of great religious competition. We will all tend to follow one of these two strategies: The legalistic or the loving, the rule book power, or relationship power.

We live in a world where competition is a master motive.

"...he Shall Receive A Reward"

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 13, 2021

In chapters one and two, the apostle Paul laid the foundation for us to build our Christian lives on. WHAT A FOUNDATION HE LAID! That foundation is Christ.

Paul is not bashful in the slightest about telling us about the Lord. Look at Colossians 2:10. We read, “And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power.” These false teachers had been trying to tell people that Christ is not sufficient within Himself, but Paul says ...read more

The Consequences Of Denying The Resurrection

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 15, 2023

If Jesus Christ did not rise from the dead, then the past two thousand years have been the greatest tragedy and travesty of human civilization ever recorded.

Abraham's Obedient Faith

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 17, 2023

Is there a difference between works of the law and works of faith? Many Christians confuse the two as one, but they are not. Let's let the Bible answer the question.

A false equivalence is bad logic. It occurs when we believe that the same word in different contexts means the same thing. This happens in Christian discussions of the word works. We solve the confusion by asking what kind of “works” is being discussed. Is it works of the law or works of obedient ...read more
