    What Does Glory Mean?

    What glory is there to be had, in this life? Does it even matter? What can we even glory in? The feats of man simply point to the creative genius of his creator. I leap over a building and what boast can be made but to say I've used what God has given me? I am no superman, I am who He has called...

    What are YOU doing!?

    The future is in the balance, as we sit idly by as time flies by. We dream of acting upon our most ambitious desires, yet we sit in wait. Call it destiny, call it fate. Either way action is to be made. Validation as a source of motivation is often key, as we look to man to confirm what God has...

    Something I never considered about Adam

    God created Adam and eventually Adam started naming animals, but what gets me is, how did he have the ability to name them? What I mean is, God had to have created Adam fully developed, not only in stature, but mentally as well. He, God, also had to give Adam an informational download, in some...

    Be Loved, Beloved

    Be loved, beloved. As I stare at the word "beloved" I cannot but notice the emphasis on receiving love. We, the children of God, are His beloved and with that in mind, have we alienated ourselves from the reception of Love itself? Do we dare to step into His presence at the risk of being...

    An Increase of Cessationists and Legalists (CC)

    Is it just me, or has the tide shifted and there seems to be an influx of people who subscribe to Cessationism and Legalism on this site? I've noticed more and more likes on posts that months ago would've maybe got a like or two, and now are getting five to six likes (if not more). They also...

    Speaking in Tongues (Privately, Outside of Church)

    Speaking In Tongues Privately ------------------------------------ I am going to attempt to show you that tongues can be used for private use. 1 Corinthians 14:2-4 King James Version (KJV) 2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man...

    God, your Father

    God isn't just God the Father, but He is God your Father. Oftentimes we like to categorize things without giving it much thought beyond organization and well, theology. However, we ought to personalize these truths. Consider it for a moment. You are a child of God by the Spirit of Adoption...

    What is with men and holding a handshake?

    I've experienced this twice in my life, and I was just wondering what others thought about it. You go to shake a man's hand and once you shake and get ready to release they tighten their grip and you let go only to have your hand still grasped by theirs. They won't let go for an awkward amount...

    Sin Confession: A Waste of Breath?

    Why do I have to confess my sins for forgiveness when Jesus as my High Priest was the last and once and for all sacrifice for sin? Not only this, scripture says that He isn't like the priests of old having to often sacrifice for his sins and the people's sins, otherwise He would've suffered...

    Have We Been Arrogant!?

    Romans 9:20 King James Version (KJV) 20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? In our complaints and sorrow when looking in the mirror, have we been arrogant to think to raise our voices to our...

    Rewarded Openly By God

    When you read Matthew you'll notice that it addresses doing things hypocritically, for the sake of appearing pious/religious before others. Matthew mentions three different activities that when done in secret the Lord will bless you or reward you openly. As opposed to those who do these things...

    Being Sorry ≠ Repentance

    A person can be genuinely sorry for their wrongdoings but such is meaningless without repentance. This is like chowing down on the unhealthiest meal you can imagine, and watching a documentary on a healthy diet consisting of vegetables. Everyone knows veggies are part of a healthy diet, but...

    How to NEVER Fall (Recipe)

    The Recipe to Never Fall With a title like that I better deliver! How are you wonderful people of God? The idea of never falling stirred a response in you, did it not? Is it beyond our reach and are we to expect to fall? I think not, as scripture offers us a recipe, if you will. As it says in 1...

    Whats Beneath the Skin: Why did God make me this way?

    Why would God create us in a way we dislike knowing in His sovereignty that we would be displeased? Your initial thought is to say "it isn't about us" and just dismiss the question. However, even in His sovereignty and His plan for man, one still tries to understand why would He make us in a way...

    Why does God love us?

    We can understand why we love God, because scripture states that we love Him because He first loved us. It would make sense, considering reciprocity. Give and you shall receive. However, one must ponder why God loves us. For that matter, why is God love at all? Why didn't He exist as evil...

People around the world feeling unworthy to step foot in a church for fear that they may be a hypocrite to the standards proclaimed therein.

    What lessons have you learned from entertaining sin and living in righteousness?

    I know, I already see some responses that Christians, real ones, don't entertain sin and that Jesus came to set us free from our sins. Regardless of that small sect of individuals who profess perfection, I'd like to ask the normal every day believers what you have gleaned in terms of wisdom and...
