    Which laws are and are not valid?

    Hi there, I'll keep my question brief. There are many laws in the Old Testament, how do we differentiate between the laws we follow, and those we do not? i.e. Wearing Mixed Fibers etc. Any answers from scripture will be very helpful, Matthew.

    Joy in Obedience

    Hi there, I just thought I would share some encouragement with people who are struggling with a particular sin, or are simply plodding on with the Christians walk. Scripture tells us that although sin no longer has dominion over us (Romans 6:14), we still have our body of flesh and as much...

    An answer to the prosperity Gospel

    My family keep trying to persuade me that Jesus want be to live a life and never wants me to be sick and wants me to prosper etc. This to me, is absolutely contrary to what scripture teaches! Maybe I glorify God through prospering, however, maybe I glorify God by being struck with a horrible...

    Sovereign will & Permissive Will?

    In discussion with a family member about evil, she stated that there is the permissive will of God, meaning, God has allowed it despite not necessarily approving of it. Now to me, this seems like absolute insanity and creates an unfathomable amount of logical contradictions in the bible. For...

    How do I Respond to Someone Claiming Doctrine is not Important?

    Hi there, I was having a chat to someone and I mentioned predestination. I pointed out some very strange, unsound arguments against it that had no biblical support. Anyway, I was told in the end ''Doctrine Doesn't Matter', It's all about the Gospel and Saving Souls''. I must say I disagree...

    Maker sure you are a light, and that you put God first.

    When you read the title saying put God first, this means first, not second, not third, not fourth... Do not think he is first, know that he is number one.If you have a choice between a sin and doing the right thing, every time you sin... you put your own pleasure ahead of God. We need to act in...
