Ran across this post today and thought it was good. I'm not sure if I ever really took the time to think about the apostles' convictions in quite this way before. This would be a great point to consider when talking with non-Christians.

I know it's been forever since I've posted on here. Sorry about that. Things have been very busy lately. Anyway, I've often noticed how tied up we seem to be with "fairness." We all want to enjoy good health, reasonable success, and comfortable living. And while there's nothing wrong with wanting those things, we need… Continue reading In This Life…

Yesterday I was talking to a friend about how we are supposed to watch out for fellow Christians and help them through difficult times. We had been discussing the passage in 1 Tim 4:1-3 where it talks about those who have their consciences "seared with a hot iron," and how that can sometimes force us… Continue reading I Am My Brother’s Keeper

28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom… Continue reading Predestination

I want to point out that I don't endorse this particular church, or their broader beliefs. However, I… Continue reading Drinking or Drunkenness?

After the discussion that followed (and is still following) my last post, I decided to do one on the idea expressed in the following passage. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. -… Continue reading “…Not of Works…”

I ran across a post today on the blog Sola Scriptura that I thought was really good. The approach might be a little "in your face," but sometimes that's necessary to wake people up. Here's the link, please go check it out.

A little while back, I found a post on this blog that I decided to answer. He quoted this passage in Hebrews (as I have done below) and asked if anyone had thoughts on what it meant. Of course, I did, and I felt like they were pretty well reasoned. No one ever responded to… Continue reading Hebrews 6:4-6
