Rejoice in the Lord
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will

It Is Not Kind To Be “Nice”
According to Christian author and preacher Voddie Bauchum, if there is an 11th commandment in the evangelical church, it is, “Thou shalt be nice!” To put it succinctly, many Christians today believe that the greatest sin one can commit is to make someone feel bad about themselves in some way. The sin is even greater

No, We Cannot Justify Our Gossip
It should come without saying that Christians should not engage in gossip. Telling tales about others, which is often based on second or third-hand information, lacks any real evidence, and is done purely for one’s own satisfaction, is a sin.

The Danger of Unjust Anger
“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You

Submission and Love – Biblical Marriage Defined
Perhaps one of the most hotly debated, and even hated, passages of Scripture is Ephesians 5: 22-33, which reads: “Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now

Such Were Some of You
What is a Christian? A Christian is a person who was once a rebel sinner, at war with God through wicked works. But by God’s merciful redeeming grace, he or she has been freed from their sins and adopted into His family through the propitiatory work of Jesus Christ (Rom. 3:21-26). Because Jesus died in

If God Is Real, Why Is Your Life So Hard?
Recently, someone I know was asked “if God is real, why is your life so terrible?” Sadly, this is an all too common question that is loaded with presuppositions. It assumes that for God to be real, life cannot be difficult. It assumes that I should never have to deal with difficulty. It assumes that
