Christian theology which Scriptural proof of life after death. The existence of Heaven and Hell, and eternal judgment. How God has given redemption from the curse of sin and death.

The history of nations is filled with cycles of blessing, rebellion, warning, and judgment. Scripture gives us Israel as the clearest example—a nation chosen by God, blessed above all peoples, yet repeatedly falling into idolatry, lawlessness, and moral corruption. Eventually, when the warnings of the prophets were despised and the law of the Lord cast aside, judgment came through war, famine, pestilence, and captivity. Today, the United States of America—founded with a profound reliance on the God of the Bible—appears to be repeating that same tragic pattern. The cultural shift, the ...

Committing the sin which can never be forgiven. Looking at what the Bible teaches as the unpardonable sin.

Apostasy then is a turning away from Jesus Christ and denying the faith which was once delivered unto you. Apostasy in the Christian faith can only be committed by Christians who were truly born again. Now a great many have believed Christians cannot commit the sin of apostasy. Their reasoning is once you are born again the Lord will keep you and never forsake you. So, if one who professed a relationship with Jesus Christ then turns from that relationship, they reason this person was never really saved in the first place. Others confess the sin of apostasy is damnable leading to Christians ...

Its narrative has permeated cultures far beyond the confines of religious contexts, influencing moral thought, legal philosophy, humanitarian aid principles, and popular culture. At its heart, the Good Samaritan captures a profound lesson on compassion, mercy, and humanity’s shared moral responsibility. Without invoking explicit scripture references, we can appreciate the timeless message woven into the fabric of this story, one that resonates deeply across various cultural...

Being brokenhearted is a deep emotional and spiritual wound that affects every part of a person’s being. It can arise from many sources: the loss of a loved one, betrayal, a shattered relationship, or unmet expectations. When someone is brokenhearted, they are not only emotionally wounded but also experience a profound sense of loss, pain, and disconnection from the world around them. The Bible acknowledges the reality of a broken heart, offering both recognition of the pain and promises of healing. Throughout scripture, we see people who cry out to God in their brokenness, and the Lord ...

The term "angels of light" appears in the Bible to describe entities that appear righteous, pure, or divine but are deceptive and aligned with evil purposes. This phrase comes directly from 2 Corinthians 11:14, where Paul writes, “And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” This warning sets the stage for a broader biblical exploration of the concept, shedding light on the deceptive nature of evil forces, their strategies, and how they attempt to lead people away from the truth of God. At its core, the idea of angels of light highlights the spiritual reality ...

Mark 8:36 presents one of the most profound questions ever asked: “For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?” This inquiry, posed by Jesus Himself, encapsulates the great contrast between the temporal and the eternal. It forces one to consider the fleeting nature of worldly pursuits compared to the immeasurable worth of the soul. In an age that prioritizes success, wealth, and personal ambition, the truth behind this question remains as relevant today as it was when first spoken. The temporal world is marked by its constant change. Everything that ...

This eschatological position and doctrinal philosophy is called Kingdom Now or Dominion Theology. To really understand NAR hype and manipulation just listen to any NAR apostle teach out of the book of Revelation. For NAR must explain away how all these prophetic judgments, battle of Armageddon, and the Antichrist has already been fulfilled in history. A very elaborate system of lies and twisting of Scriptures and historical facts. I trust this is where the hypocrisy of the NAR Movement is clearly seen, as they mock the Premillennial beliefs of Christians who see the book of Revelation in ...

The Cross of Jesus Christ stands as the single most necessary and transformative event in human history. It is the ultimate solution to the deepest problem that has plagued humanity since the beginning—our separation from God. The need for the Cross is not a concept created by religion, nor is it simply a symbolic gesture of sacrifice. The Cross was necessary because it directly addressed the most fundamental crisis of the human race. It was not just an option for salvation; it was the only way to bridge the chasm between a holy God and a fallen world. Without the Cross, there would be no...

The idea that wealth is a sign of God's blessing, as taught in the prosperity gospel, is not supported by Scripture. Many of God's greatest servants were called to forsake material wealth in order to fully follow Christ. The message of the Gospel is not one of accumulating earthly riches but of denying oneself, taking up the cross, and following Jesus in the fellowship of His sufferings. Jesus Himself warned against the dangers of wealth, and throughout the Bible, God’s people were often required to set aside personal riches to fulfill His will. Jesus made it clear that following Him ...

The Epistle to the Galatians stands as one of the Apostle Paul’s most powerful and passionate writings, addressing critical issues of faith, law, and freedom in Christ. Historically, Galatians is often dated to the late 40s or early 50s AD, making it one of Paul’s earliest epistles. This dating situates the letter within a dynamic period of the early Church, as Gentile converts began entering the Christian faith in significant numbers, leading to theological and practical conflicts regarding the role of the Mosaic Law. Paul identifies himself as the author in the opening verse, ...

The realm of the supernatural is often misunderstood, especially when it comes to distinguishing between the power of God and the deceptive works of demonic spirits. Many assume that all miraculous healings and supernatural occurrences are evidence of divine intervention, but the reality is more complex. The spiritual world is a battleground, and within it exists both the power of God and the counterfeits of Satan. Throughout history, false signs and wonders have been used to deceive people, leading them into spiritual bondage under the guise of divine power. One of the most dangerous ...

Its brevity, combined with the gravity of its themes, offers a powerful message to believers across generations. Written by the Apostle Peter, this letter is generally regarded as his farewell message, composed toward the end of his life. As a final exhortation, it reflects the urgency of Peter’s desire to strengthen and equip the Church against false teachings and to remind them of the core truths of the faith. The epistle is imbued with a ...

In the New Testament, the Apostle Peter offers a sobering warning about the spiritual climate of the last days. In his second epistle, he addresses the emergence of mockers who will openly ridicule and deny God's truth. This warning, found in 2 Peter 3:3-7, is both prophetic and instructive, offering insights into the characteristics of these mockers, their motivations, and the inevitable judgment of God upon them. Peter's admonition serves as a clarion call to believers to remain steadfast in faith, fully aware of the reality of God's promises and the certainty of His coming judgment. The ...

The sexual revolution in America, which began in earnest during the 1960s and 1970s, has had profound and lasting impacts on society, culture, and morality. At its core, the sexual revolution was a movement that sought to challenge and overturn traditional views on sex, marriage, and personal freedom. What began as a rebellion against conservative social norms has now transformed into a society where sexual expression is viewed as a primary aspect of individual identity, and where biblical morality has increasingly been replaced by secular moral relativism. This shift has led to the ...

The presence of suffering and evil might cause some to question whether God truly remains in control. However, when viewed through the lens of His eternal purposes, it becomes clear that these difficulties are not random acts beyond His power. Instead, God allows evil for a time, using it as a tool to fulfill His greater purposes. Sometimes, this purpose is not immediately visible, and the ways of God remain mysterious to human understanding. Yet, His sovereignty ensures that even the worst tragedies are not outside of His control. Ultimately, God’s control provides comfort, knowing that ...

They demonstrate that prayer is not limited to one particular form or purpose but is a dynamic and multifaceted practice that encompasses worship, confession, supplication, intercession, and thanksgiving. These prayers serve as a guide for believers today, showing that no matter the circumstances, God is always ready to hear the cries, praises, and petitions of His people.
