[…] modern lives are saturated with instant information and fleeting trends, yet wisdom stands out as a everlasting light, guiding us through the complexities of daily choices. The Bible consistently highlights the essential role of wisdom in guiding us through life’s challenges. Proverbs 4:7 powerfully asserts, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and […]
[…] is difficult to reconcile with “thou shalt not kill,” so the carve-out of the Jewish territory should have been accomplished differently.

[…] over the years. 6. Many Christians in most Biblical Christian churches, after years of being taught, are still drinking spiritual milk (1 Cor. 3:1-2). Further, reading the Bible, formal discipleship classes, and the consumption of Christian books and online material have all seen a significant drop in their use and study (details here). 7. […]

Reflecting on your own beliefs, ask yourself: How does tradition influence your understanding of truth? In what ways do you see this worldview playing […]
[…] sexuality curriculum teaches that, “…it can be an act of faithfulness before God to intervene in the natural process of pregnancy and terminate it.” What Does the Bible Say Scripture is very clear on this subject, which is why Biblical Christians take the stand they do.

[…] Ephesians on the subject of spiritual warfare, we are given a number of defensive weapons, however, only one offensive “sword,” which is the Word of God, the Bible (Ephesians 6:17). David did not have the full message of Jesus Christ that we enjoy today. As we face those who reject our faith as frivolous […]

[…] there is nothing after this life. Those are all lies from Satan. This series on ‘God’s Purpose for Mankind’ is taken directly and in context from the Bible, God’s message to and for His only creation that was created in His image — mankind. If you would rather follow some complicated, ridiculous fallacy that someone else […]
[…] a place to bunk for the night. Application I believe the followers of Christ have their names written in God’s reservation book. I believe that because the Bible says it. What it also teaches is that the names of everyone else are written someplace very different, and that it’s only by God’s grace and […]

[…] as the same yesterday, today, and forever (Heb. 13:8). We are “originalists” in our theology, often finding ourselves swimming against the tide of “modernists” who see the Bible as an antiquated document that has little or no meaning in today’s culture. Rejected are the definitions of a man and a woman, the rights of the […]
[…] have you wondered how people think these things are right and acceptable? I was at a loss to answer that question until I read the answer in the Bible. It’s right there in plain sight. There are two parts to it. First Part – Wisdom comes from God. Proverbs 2:6: “All wisdom comes from the LORD, and […]
[…] Source – Jeff Hilles A Biblical Christian worldview perspective – I feel certain there are many Catholics in Heaven, though I don’t personally see purgatory in the Bible. However, every denomination, church, and Christian has parts of their theology that are out of alignment with God, in my view. No human has the level […]
[…] of the universe. From my vantage point of faith in an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, supreme, supernatural Creator of the universe, I trust His wisdom, found in the Bible, over the prideful, sinful, arrogant and self-righteous that struggle, as I do, to live as best we can, day by day. Again, what separates us is […]
[…] religious (predominantly Christian). You want to take birth control away from women so you can breed them like less than livestock. I say less than because the Bible forbids the rape of farm animals. The sickos who wrote your book see women and children as [expletive removed] to abuse and exploit. We know you […]
[…] from Mark 4:3, ” Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow. “ Background Which came first, the chicken or the egg? If you believe what the Bible says, then I assume you’ll agree that it’s the chicken. Considered from another angle, though, is a chicken a chicken because it lays eggs, or does […]
[…] media bears “a great deal” (47%), or “a moderate amount” (36%) of responsibility for the political division in the country. Why Have Journalists Lost Their Code of Ethics The Bible is the “supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct”. This phrase is a foundational point of a Biblical Christian Worldview. As America moves farther and farther […]
[…] not to be drawn, like a moth, to the flame of the most articulate human-based arguments for our decisions, but instead to WWJD as found in the Bible. Since “God’s ways are above our ways” it is often safe to assume that what we think is the right thing to do, based on a […]
[…] follow His word… those who desire to be controlled by the Creator of the universe. Some define that as a theocracy, however, the moral precepts of the Bible are universal and a true theocracy will not appear on our earthly stage before Christ returns.

[…] their testimony of faith in Christ alone. We should be thankful that the United States has a National Day of Prayer and that the God of the Bible is so strongly represented. There will likely come a time when this will not be the case. Until then, we should feel free to publicly pray […]
[…] again just one month later. In the scenes that precede the shark attack, Bethany is shown worshiping God with her family and participating in a youth group Bible study. One of the verses quoted by the youth leader was Jeremiah 29:11, where God states His plans of peace and hope. But after Bethany loses […]
[…] mesmerizing gaze and called Howie as I walked towards the barn doors. When I opened the doors, I was confronted with a scene straight out of the Bible.

[…] resurrection. If that were the case, finishing around 50 AD makes a lot of sense. Photo by Wesley Tingey on Unsplash The spiritual edge God did not literally “write” the Bible. Still, we call this the “Word of God,” and we believe the Holy Spirit had a significant role in writing the scriptures. The very early church […]
[…] various candidates which ultimately undermines their ministry. Instead, the focus of the Sunday mornings should be the worship of God and the study of His teachings, the Bible. The more we know the inerrant truth of God’s words, the more we can detect the falseness of all forms of mankind’s sins, including the lies […]
[…] fear he is a liar The last two lines of the lyrics command us to release ourselves from the chains of fear. And, we know from the Bible that, at the end of time, Satan and his demons will be “cast into the Lake of Fire for eternity” (Rev. 20:10). Let Your fire fall […]

[…] accomplish tasks successfully, and, be “proud” of oneself for a job well done. However, God’s ways are above [different than] our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9), and so the Bible sees Webster’s definition in a negative light. When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom. – Proverbs 11:2 One’s pride will bring […]

[…] subject of answered prayer. Verses such as Mark 11:24 need to be balanced with those similar to Micah 7:7, as we reconcile the truth of the whole Bible. Part of the answer is offered in James 4:3. Mark 11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, […]

However, on average, the Christian believer must be more full of grace, love, and joy than the average non-Christian or our existence on earth means nothing and the Bible is a lie.
