Be Careful When Advising People In God’s Will

Contributed by Samuel M on Jan 14, 2024

So many times, we have become like Job’s friends, who have not spoken the right words about or from God to our friends like Job who are suffering in God’s will. We have spoken Godly words, but some or all of these words are not from God.

And so it was, after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, that the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is aroused against you and your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.” Job 42:7 So many times, we have become like Job’s friends, who have ...read more

If Only People Understood What Jesus Was Offering Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Feb 9, 2021

8 Reasons Why People Leave The Church

Contributed by Sheryln Miller on Apr 11, 2019

Are you surprised when you hear that a once faithful Christ follower has turned away from the faith and now doubts whether scripture is true or not? If you are like me, you wonder how this happens but then you remember this is nothing new. Apostasy appears throughout the bible.

In Hebrews 6:4-5 the writer notes some will turn away from the gospel although they once tasted the good Word and received the Holy Spirit. Jesus knew we would be tempted to turn away from the truth but He reminds us to remain faithful to the end (end of our lives) if we want to receive the ...read more
