[…] time thinking about our Savior and His time on the cross. I thought about the two men sentenced to die with Him that weekend. You know, the Bible tells us a lot about the way we are supposed to live. It is filled with hundreds of Old Testament commandments and dozens of New Testament […]
[…] to the science of Talur than the world of androids, there is an endless amount of information being distributed as truth. But for those who believe the Bible and follow Jesus, much of what we know as truth is discounted, dismissed, and mocked. Slavery flourished less than 200 years ago, so how much more […]
[…] to Christians in China, North Korea, or the Middle East who live in fear of being caught, yet rejoice in being a child of God. When the Bible teaches that we should ‘pray without ceasing”, it is a call to be engaged with Christ on a minute-by-minute basis throughout our daily lives. Instead, sadly, […]
[…] at developed nations and see the amazing things that are happening in the growth of Christianity in developing and communist nations. Finally, we can look at the Bible and perhaps see end-times prophesy in our future. No matter what direction God intends to go, He is in charge and we are but a mist […]
[…] to have it all transported to the dump. No one wants someone else’s accumulated ‘stuff’ that is seen as worthless or has little to no value. The Bible says that all humans inherited a sin nature from Adam, that we are all sinners (Romans 3:10, 23). It tells us that any appearance of a […]
[…] be broken as our world of today and every tear will be wiped away (Revelation 21:4). We just don’t know when (Mark 13:31-32) God’s plans are to happen. The Bible is also very clear about the painful and troublesome events that will happen prior to this time (Matthew 24:3-31). Each of us will experience different amounts of […]
[…] “holier than thou”, judgmental, legalistic, and lacking grace. I grew up in a small town and attended a Southern Baptist Church. I learned a lot about the Bible, but it was also very much about laws. You don’t smoke. You don’t drink. You don’t dance. And you don’t hang around with people who do! […]
[…] things don’t make sense in the Biblical story. But when Judas is understood as a political zealot, it fits together much better. This does not mean the Bible is wrong, it’s just that it leaves some details unanswered. What doesn’t make sense? Judas betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver, about a week’s wages. If […]
[…] experiences trials. First, remember that a trial is not a “temptation” — something that is from Satan for the purpose of wanting the believer to sin against God. The Bible clearly teaches that just as Jesus was “persecuted”, believers will suffer persecution for His namesake. Persecution for one’s faith can certainly be a trial or test. […]
Quick Quote – Source – Shannon Scott A Biblical Christian worldview perspective – The Bible is clear that one who teaches God’s word desires both an honorable profession (1 Tim. 3:1) and one that should be compensated for. However, worldly wealth should not be a motivator for the profession. Jesus made the observation that […]
[…] know a Christian. Increasingly more people, (as a percentage of the world’s population), have heard the gospel. As the world’s population is growing more literate, and the Bible is being translated into more languages, more people have access to Scripture than in the past. Ninety-five million copies were printed in 2023 alone. Americans need […]
Quick Quote – Source – Jeff Hilles A Biblical Christian worldview perspective – The Bible would seem to be full of examples where it appears that God changes His mind, either because man is failing in his present direction or seems to be successful in presenting his arguments. But, how can one defend a […]
Quick Quote – Source – Jarrod Scott A Biblical Christian worldview perspective – In the Bible, there are many examples of both believers and unbelievers whose bad behavior was used by God to perfect His will. God is all-knowing from eternity past to eternity future. So, He has already factored into His decisions all […]
[…] the time when she would be back home to hash things out with her dad. But one day, she asked herself and others a question about the Bible for which she received no good answer. And as she wrestled with that void, she began to question much more of what she thought she knew. […]
[…] started reading some books that gave good illustrations of Heaven and Hell in a basic and imaginative way. What caught my attention was when I read the Bible. My inner spirit started jumping for joy. This is the Truth. This is what life is all about. But, for a very long time, I lived […]
[…] dismiss evidence contrary to our beliefs too quickly. So, evidence, facts and reason are very important, but they have their limitations because of this human weakness. The Bible is very realistic about this, for example John 12:37 says: “Even after Jesus had performed so many signs [miracles] in their presence, they still would not […]
[…] we might find the solution as well. There was a time when there were very few unwanted pregnancies in comparison to today. What changed? The answer is found in the Bible, for judgment begins in the house of God. Instead of being a light of the world, our lanterns have been clouded by the filth of unrepented sin. Unless […]
[…] – Source – Ray Retzlaff A Biblical Christian worldview perspective – As Christians we spend our Sundays in church studying God’s word. Many of us have weekday Bible studies, prayer meetings, and family devotions, etc. And yet, the only “knowledge” we actually need to know is Christ and Him crucified for our sins as […]
[…] model that walks, talks, and thinks like a Human, but when the rapture comes, these machines will still be here. So, is Artificial Intelligence mentioned in the Bible? Let me point out one very possible example: Revelation 13:3, “I sawone of his heads as if it had been fatally wounded, and his fatal wound […]
[…] Pastors are called to “preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching (2 Tim. 4:2).” Is the Bible suggesting this end with the sermon or extend to action? James 5:19-20 – My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings […]
[…] tell me. I chose to understand. Nancy sent me two books that I read over a few months at sea that led me to read parts of the Bible. I know the Truth when I see it. So on Halloween of 1979, on board Cutter Boutwell, I broke down and admitted that Jesus was who […]
[…] see in us as justified when they witness sin in our lives, as we try to simultaneously build the impression of a caring relationship with them. The Bible is an instruction manual for the life of mankind. As such there is an amazing amount of wisdom in its pages, spoken directly from God. However, […]

[…] altogether. He was always kind, but yet truthful, and gracious. Jesus As An Exile Of course, Daniel was just one of many examples of exiles in the Bible. Jesus was the perfect example of an exile. He, like Biblical Christians throughout history, cannot have dual citizenship. Jesus, and all those born-again, are citizens of […]
[…] be the hallmark of our dealings with others, both inside and outside the faith. Only when we are forced to defend the faith in areas where the Bible is clear are we allowed to engage with “righteous indignation” on heretical theology.

[…] that they were brainwashed robots and I delighted in challenging their “irrational beliefs”. Many years later I was in business for myself and my outside accountant displayed Bibles and tracts all over his office. By that time I had developed more control over my tongue and was motivated to befriend the guy who was […]
Quick Quote – Source – Jeff Hilles A Biblical Christian worldview perspective – Christians can spend their lives going to church and reading the Bible but never passing on what they have learned. God desires that we not hide our faith under a basket, but bring it out as a light shining in a […]

About a dozen of them spread out around her small apartment, some of various versions, along with some study guides. She didn’t have much of anything, […]
[…] disciples of all nations” (Matt. 28:19). However, there is an old saying, “One can lead a horse to water, but cannot make him drink”. Similarly in the Bible Paul makes the statement that man’s attempts at evangelism are like planting seeds and watering them, but ultimately, “God causes the growth” (1 Cor. 3:6). Christians […]
[…] tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. Perhaps some Christians believe that the name of the Lord is not significant or holy. Does the Bible offer any insight? Psalm 8:1 – O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. […]
[…] (3:23). So, if none of us could reach God’s standards through religious practices, how can we relate to Him? The solution is also laid out in the Bible. Instead of trying to please God through religious practices, spiritual life is achieved through receiving new life from God. It is being transformed by His presence in […]
[…] hard to connect with Him, but we can be distracted by many things that keep us from drawing from His well of life. Connecting with Him through the Bible and the Holy Spirit brings water and stability to our souls. So if you find yourselves feeling dry and defeated, take time to get with God […]
[…] the age of the earth and the importance of believing in special creation? (I reject all theistic evolution if the reader is wondering, and believe as the Bible says, God made things after their kinds. I simply am stating this for sake of argument). I don’t seem to find it anywhere and, in fact, […]
[…] over the last 15 years, aggravated by COVID, the word “church” has lost its meaning. For many deconstructing their Christian faith by rationalizing personal beliefs over the Bible, the church is, at best, watching a Sunday morning ecumenical service, pretending it has meaning and value. At the other extreme are mega-churches that can be […]
[…] it’s not about human behavior, i.e. who’s more right and who’s more wrong. What counts is our relationship with God and His viewpoint, as offered in the Bible. Christians are not the problem, the problem is that one needs to be looking at God in discerning right from wrong, not man. Please Comment – […]

[…] will obtain mercy”. As a believer, the reason we need to deal with our sins, (to repent and receive God’s grace and mercy) is presented throughout the Bible including from both James and John… James 5:16 – Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed.

The Bible makes a bold and challenging statement on the subject of disciples when it says, John 15:8 – By this my Father is glorified, that you bear […]
[…] from her Jewish lineage. As a result, she became divorced from herself. “Honor your father and mother, that it may go well with you” is still in the Bible.
