All of Christianity hinges on the answer to this question. If there was no resurrection, there would be no Christianity. That’s why the Apostle’s Creed clearly states this about Jesus Christ, the son of God: “On the third day he rose again.” After dying on a Roman cross and having his dead body interred in […]
The crucifixion of Jesus is the ultimate demonstration of both God’s love and His justice. In his letter to the church in Rome, Paul wrote “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” (Romans 3:23) He went on to explain that “God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding […]
Last week we addressed the question, “Why is life so hard?” We regularly need to be reminded that at times life can be difficult. There is no way around that. We live in a fallen world where sin reigns mostly due to our human nature and our own choices. Sometimes we are hurt as result […]
Let’s start with the second thought first. If you have invited Jesus Christ into your life as your Savior and Lord, then yes God is on your side! His promise to you is the same made to Joshua, the man selected to lead the Israelites into the promised land (Deut. 31:8). God Will never leave […]
Sanctification is an important concept or process to understand in the life of a Christian. It’s much more than just a fancy word, sanctification simply means “to be set apart” for God’s exclusive possession as a reminder to us of God’s redeeming Grace that brings about our salvation. That gift of grace was the gift […]

The essence of justification is a declaration of a positional relationship by and with God, himself. Justification occurs only once! When an individual places his or her belief and trust in the finished work of Jesus on the […]
Jesus in the great commission said, “make disciples and baptize them.” ( Matthew 28:19 ) If Jesus thought it was important, so should we even if we don’t fully understand the spiritual reason for it. Jesus set the example by being baptized by John the Baptist in the Jordan even though He was sinless and […]
Baptism is an outward and visible sign of an inner change that has taken place when a person accepts Christ as Savior and Lord. It tells the world, usually in front of several or many witnesses, that a person is now a Christian and not ashamed of it. ( See Luke 9:26 ) Baptism symbolizes […]
This is another most intriguing and somewhat perplexing question. It has been considered many times down through the ages by Christians and non-Christians alike. Back in 1320 AD Dante wrote the book, Divine Comedy, and it was published finally in 1472 AD. It describes his view of what torment might be like in various levels […]
People use the word evil to describe all sorts of behavior. More often than not, evil is associated with people other than themselves or with actions with which they disagree.
