I received this question via email from SC: Was Jesus capable of sin but it was just easy for him to choose not to? Or was he incapable of sinning altogether because he’s perfect? And do you know why Angels are capable of sinning and falling? Are they not exactly perfect? I’m trying to better […]

“If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you…” (John 15:7) How can Jesus’ words abide in you? One way to do this is to take a truth that Jesus taught, learn to apply it to your situation, and then live accordingly. For example, Jesus taught us to pray: “Our Father who is […]

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap…And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. (Gal 6:7, 9) As Paul closes the book of Galatians, he warns the readers that they should not be […]

My kids are extremely lazy when it comes to looking for something they’ve lost. It could be a toy, or a shoe, or a cup of water, but the conversation always goes the same way. “Daddy, I’m thirsty.” “Where’s the cup I just gave you?” “I don’t know.” “Well, look for it.” The child will […]

When I was a teenager, I was very passionate about music. But, looking back, I realize I listened to some pretty horrible bands. I would play the same dark and depressing songs over and over again. I knew every word (well, as far as I could make out the mumbling!), every chord change, every note […]

Our church reads through the Bible together. Recently, while reading Matt 23:3, a connection struck me which I’d not seen before. The Lord was warning the disciples about the Pharisees. He tells them to observe and do what the Pharisees say, then He adds, “but do not do according to their works; for they say […]

I received this question about the mark of the beast: I was wondering if you have considered Rev 13:17 where it says, “no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Today cash is slowly being done away with and […]

After the seventy went out preaching the good news of the kingdom, healing the sick, and casting out demons, they rejoiced that even the demons were subject to them in Jesus’ name (Luke 10:17). The Lord Jesus then showed them what was far more important: “Do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject […]

“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it” (Matt 7:13). What makes the gate narrow? […]

Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. (Deut 6:12) In Deuteronomy 6, Moses is talking to the second generation of Jews that came out of Egypt. God had brought them out of slavery because of His grace and the promises […]
