    Something That I Just Don't Understand

    In Luke 9:23 Jesus says, “If anyone wants to follow me, let him deny himself every day, take up his cross, and follow me”. Too many times we excuse giving up sin because we say salvation is not by works, and this completely true. However, at Pentecost, after Jesus ascended to heaven, 3000...

    Something That I Just Don't Understand

    First of all, let me correct you. Jesus spoke against Sodom in the context of the Israelites’ unbelief. In Matthew 11, Jesus says Actually, Jesus did speak against Sodom in the context of unbelief. In Matthew 11, Jesus says that “it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom”, because if...

    So...feb, and still no sign of a major change

    . God does speak for here and now, but as you said, there has to be discernment. When it comes to what God says, however, there cannot be discernment apart from the Word of God. If one would accidentally preach what someone else would like to hear, it would be very easy to believe the...

    So...feb, and still no sign of a major change

    When it comes to inner voices, the problem is that there are too many around, and after a while you don’t know anymore which one to listen to. What makes the matter even more complicated is that some of them sound very much like God’s voice, but if you were to verify against God’s Word, you...

    is something wrong with me? *cw, substance abuse*

    Although, one thing I know about the medication my wife is taking is that it has to be interrupted gradually, over a period of weeks. You should do some research talk to a professional about this. If you have the will to do it, and with God’s help, you will be able to get through this. I am...

    is something wrong with me? *cw, substance abuse*

    So how would you convince someone to stop taking the medications and start dealing with life? Just telling them is not enough. What can one do beyond words to help someone in this situation?

    Discerning : The Water Cults

    5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God! This is the verse from John 3. The water in this case symbolizes dying to self and rising again as a new creation, or as Jesus said, being born again. This...

    Psalm 113:3

    “From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised.” ‭‭ The interesting thing about the sun is that it rises and sets around the earth. Therefore, the name of the Lord is to be praised not just in certain areas, but all around the world. Those who...

    is something wrong with me? *cw, substance abuse*

    I totally agree with the points above. 1. My wife has been taking medications for depression for a long time now, and she has gotten used to the euphoric state she is in that she does not realize there are other issues which came about due to the long time that she has been on the medication...

    Philippians 2:3-5

    What thoughts compel us to act? Verse five in this passage encourages us to have the mind of Christ in our approach to doing things. He didn’t do anything to show Himself but to show God’s power. Likewise, we are called first of all to a relationship with God in which it is clear that He...

    is something wrong with me? *cw, substance abuse*

    Medications don’t help you cope. Try talking to people who can give you good advice. If you ask me, Biblical advice is the best; it is different from any secular advice—or at least, it should be different. Find someone who can give you this type of advice, I’m even if you have to pay them...

    Hebrews 4:12

    “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” I like very much how sometimes authors use vivid pictures to describe ideas. Here, apostle Paul...

    Your Thoughts: Are The NT/OT Gods "Different"?

    Nowhere in the Bible do we see that one should not obey authorities. On the contrary, Jesus said at one point: “Give to Cesar what is Cesar’s and to God what is God’s”. In the context of the question posed, we are called both in the Old Testament and New Testament to obey God’s law. The...

    Your Thoughts: Are The NT/OT Gods "Different"?

    The Bible says that “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8), and as Christians, we believe that Jesus pre-existed his existence here on earth. Therefore, we are not talking about two Gods, but rather about God being holy in the Old Testament, and God being full...

    Isaiah 41:10

    It is important to realize who is talking and to whom. This is God himself talking through the prophet Isaiah to his people. The verses which precede verse 10 make it clear that God is always in control of everything around us, and He is the only one true God, regardless of the human...

    Isaiah55:6-7

    “Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.” ‭‭ It happens to me a lot that I lose my keys, for...

    John 4:19-26

    This passage about worship is split into two parts; the first part is about how we see worship before God, while the second part is about how God would like to see us worshipping him. If we were to ask anybody what the definition of worship is, it would probably sound something like “certain...

    Joshua 1:9:

    God is not content to follow you; that is his promise to those who obey him. Look at any passage in the Bible where you see this promise, and you will see that it is always dependent on our obedience to him. Or if you want, when we obey him, he is there to strengthen us and guide us. When we...

    Philippians 3:15-16

    "All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. Only let us live up to what we have already attained." What is the view that all of us should have? In the previous verses, Apostle Paul talks...
