All mankind are sinners at conception. Psalm 51:5 (CSB), “Indeed, I was guilty when I was born; I was sinful when my mother conceived me.” Adamic sin and its penalty, death, are inherited. Romans 5:12 (CSB), “Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, in this way death spread to all people, because all sinned.” Thus, we are all […]

The first time believers are referred to is in Acts 9:2 (NKJV), “and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.” Here believers were ?of the Way. Acts 5:14 (NKJV), “And believers were increasingly added to the

No, God does not condone nor bless gambling. The soldiers at the cross crucified, beat and mocked Jesus. Their behaviors were cruel and unrighteous. Their gambling was vulgar. Those soldiers are not examples of God’s holy will. God intended there to be only 12 Apostles of the Lamb. Revelation 21:14 (NKJV), “Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations,

Judas planned his betrayal of Jesus. Matthew 26:14-16 (NKJV), 14 “Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15 and said, ‘What are you willing to give me if I deliver Him to you?’ And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver. 16 So from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him.” The Gospel of Luke adds that

First we need to make a whole-hearted commitment to be separate from the sin and selfishness in the world and our own fallen flesh. 2 Corinthians 6:16  “And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: ‘I will dwell in them And walk among

Sin and Satan’s influence has made everyone miserable for thousands of years. There is war, pain, hate, and death. But God has a plan that allows these things to only be TEMPORARILY permitted for a certain amount of time and not a day longer. We are all learning a powerful lesson: sin only brings sorrow

First and foremost, we pray directly to God in Jesus’s name, because we have faith in His Son, Jesus, as our Redeemer. When we respectfully talk to God, we remember Jesus’s words in John 14:14, “If you ask anything in My (Jesus’s) name, I will do it.” Jesus taught his followers to pray to God in his name. Additionally,

The question comes from John 8:2-11: “Early in the morning he (Jesus) came again to the temple. All the people came to him and he sat down and began to teach them. The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery; and making her stand before all of them, they said

To know the mind of God, one must first “believe that He is” (Hebrews 11:6), and that the reverence or fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Psalm 111:10). The greatest expression of love from the Father is the precious gift of his own dear Son, Jesus, to be the redeemer of mankind. In both word and

Proverbs (17:17, Bible in Basic English) says, “A friend is loving at all times, and becomes a brother in times of trouble.” This means that a true friend has love and concern for us in all aspects of our life, but especially when we are in trouble, just like a loving brother would. Friendly people
