Why did Jesus have to suffer and die to remove our sins? Couldn’t God just have forgiven us? Courts of Law Imagine a judge coming into the courtroom and the criminal standing before the judge and he or she has just been caught robbing a bank. Would it be kind or good of the judge to just let the criminal go and not have the victim receive satisfaction? Why not just forgive them and give them another chance? If he... Read more

Many people claim to have had a vision or dream from God, so how can we know for sure that it is from God? Interpreting Dreams There is a lot about dreams and visions in the Bible and one of the first occurrences of a dream being interpreted is from Joseph who was thrown into prison after being falsely accused, and while there, “the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison—each his...

Psalm 103 is a special psalm about the relationship between God and His children. Psalm 103:3-4 Psalm 103 is among my favorites and it may be one of yours too but why is it? It is because it is the Lord God “who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases” (Psalm 103:3) and through Jesus Christ, He “redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy” (Psalm 103:4). The word “iniquity” is simply... Read more
The Apostle Paul wrote he was not ashamed of the gospel, but what did he mean? Denying Christ Jesus once said something that must have made everyone in the audience shudder. He said, “I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household” (Matt 10:35-36), so “Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy... Read more
Is Isaiah 53:5 a promise of healing for all who claim it? Paul’s Ordeal If anyone was close to God in the first century church, it was the Apostle Paul. Paul even said that the Lord Himself stood by Him (2nd Pet 4:17), but whether that was literally or in his spirit, only he knew this, but Paul trusted in God’s sovereignty and trusted it enough to know that whatever happened to Him, nothing could separate him from God (Rom...

Is it possible to glorify God, even in the work place? Glorifying God There is one reason God created the heavens and the universe, and of course that includes us, and it was that He would be glorified. The psalmist understood that “The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands” (Psalm 19:1), and more than that, as if the speak, “Day to day pours forth speech, And night to...

Does the Bible say Christians can be put under a spell or curse? Who is Cursed? I cannot count the times when people have said they were worried about someone putting a spell on them or they have been cursed by someone and are afraid that their family lives under a generational curse. The Bible does say a lot about curses and blessings but not in the way we might think. Because Satan deceived Eve and tempted Adam and Eve... Read more
How should believers react to persecution and hate? Jesus tells us how. Proactive and Not Reactive When we are persecuted for righteousness’ sake or for being a Christ-follower, we shouldn’t be surprised at all. You can simply read some of the comments reader leave and see that you and I will be insulted, name-called, and have derogatory insults about our character hurled at us, but that’s actually a good thing. The Apostle Peter wrote, “do not be surprised at the... Read more
