Here are my top six Bible verses about thinking in a positive way. Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” Have you ever heard the phrase “You’re not what you think you are…what you think, you are”?

Here are my top seven Bible verses referring to the last day or the end times, sometimes called the end of the age. Matthew 24:10-12 “And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold.” During Jesus’ so-called Olivet Prophecy, He was telling the disciples that there would come a time where many... Read more
Why did Jesus, Who was with the Father, have to come to earth to become a Man? The Word Becomes Flesh The Gospel of John gives us the beginning, before Jesus became flesh, being born as a babe. John’s gospel goes back in time before the other gospel accounts begin and even before Christ was here on earth by writing “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1) but...

What was God’s purpose for creating the world and everything in it? Can we find the answers in Scriptures? The Heavens Declare God’s Glory The psalmist had it exactly right, “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork” (Psalm 19:1) and “Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge” as “Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world” (Psalm 19:2, 4)....

Should churches do exorcisms or should they be done by one individual? What does the Bible say about exorcisms? The Exorcist You’ve probably seen or heard of the movie The Exorcist but the Catholic Church has one too and he claims to have done over 160,00 exorcisms and “sent them back to hell” and he wants the Pope to allow all priests to perform exorcisms. Is this due to the fact that there are widespread possessions? As a Christian “we... Read more
Does the Bible really condone slavery? Slaves to Sin We are slaves to whatever we are consumed by or led to do. We might be consumed with all sorts of evil desires that in some cases are not even acceptable to most of society, so in whatever way we live our lives, we are in submission to something. For mankind, we are slaves of sin, being born and conceived in sin (Psalm 51:5). Paul recalls a time for the Christians... Read more
Did Jesus ever speak in tongues during His earthly ministry? If so, where is in in Scriptures? Tongues as a Language The Greek word used for “tongues” is “glōssa” and means “the language or dialect used by a particular people distinct from that of other nations” so it is a distinct and established language. Some people still use the vernacular of “Do you speak the native tongue” and everyone knows they mean “Do you speak the native or local language.”... Read more
Did Jesus ever go to school? What was His education like? What courses were included? Required Education Children in Jesus’ day were not much different than they are today. They were required to get an education and of course that included the Scriptures (the Old Testament). It was written of Jesus that “the child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom. And the favor of God was upon him” (Luke 2:40). Once, when Jesus’ parents attended the Feast of Passover,... Read more
Does God ever need to rest? Does God ever tire out? What does the Bible say? The Sabbath Rest There was a Sabbath rest for the people of Israel as it says in Exodus 31:17: “It is a sign forever between me and the people of Israel that in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.” Why was God refreshed? Was it because after God’s creation was complete He... Read more
