Here are seven Bible verses that can help us resist fornication. What is Fornication? Fornication is voluntary sexual intercourse between two people who are unmarried to one another, either of the opposite sex or the same sex. It is essentially, sexual immorality and there is no doubt that God calls it sin. Any sex outside of marriage is breaking the commandment of adultery but God will judge every sexually immoral sin of everyone who refuses to repent and trust in... Read more
Here are my top seven Bible verses about darkness and light. John 1:5 “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” In the Gospel of John, Jesus uses a lot descriptive language and associates God with light as “In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind” (John 1:4) and “While I am in the world, I am the light of the world” (John 9:5) and He most certainly was. Jesus... Read more
What is the significance of anointing in the Bible? What does it symbolize? God’s Authority The oil by which the kings of old were anointed represents God’s choice of whoever it is being anointed and that they are God’s chosen vessel to work through but one must first be in submission to the One Who chose them to be where they are. Saul was rejected because He disobeyed God and David was anointed or chosen over Saul. Also, the priests... Read more
Does the Bible give us an idea about whether Christians should be a Republican or a Democrat? Perhaps, even an Independent? The Sovereign Supreme God The Bible says of God that “He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding” (Dan 2:21) and “He brings one down, he exalts another” (Prov 75:7). Clearly, God is sovereign over all the earth and where mankind rules,... Read more
Does the Bible say anything about animal rights? What about killing animals? Is it permissible to do so? Regard for Animals The Bible has a lot to say about animals and primarily it concerns the humane treatment of them. Proverbs 12:10 says “Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel.” Those who take good care of their animals, whether they’re domesticated or not, are called “righteous” by God. God... Read more
Here are my top seven Bible verses about putting your past behind you. Philippians 4:13-14 “Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” There is no way to be looking forward while still looking back at “what lies behind” and you can’t...

Is the Bible silent on the right to bear arms? What about guns or the right to own guns? The Right to Bear Arms Every American citizen has the legal right to bear arms or own a gun or more than one gun. Convicted felons may have a more difficult time but for most citizens, it’s okay to legally own a firearm. It’s in the U.S. Constitution as the Second Amendment. In the very first murder we see that no... Read more
Here are six Bible verses about being in debt. Proverbs 22:7 “The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is the slave of the lender.” When Solomon wrote this it wasn’t as prevalent then as it is today. The discrepancies between the rich and the poor have never been greater in the world and the rich do rule over the poor; the poor generally work for the rich and make them rich, but at their own expense. As far... Read more
Here are six great bible verses that encourage us to save money. Proverbs 10:4-5 “A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich. He who gathers in summer is a prudent son, but he who sleeps in harvest is a son who brings shame.” A “slack hand” is a hand that is hesitant to work and it causes poverty to be sure. The diligent hand makes rich, at least in supplying all their needs. When summer... Read more
Here are seven great Bible verses that I hope can help you when you have grown weary. Galatians 6:9 “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” Someone once asked D.L. Moody if he got tired of the work and he replied that he got tired in the work but not tired of the work which makes perfect sense of Paul writing, “As for you, brothers,... Read more
