Does God call one sin worse than another? Are some sins more serious than others? Is All Sin the Same? Have you ever heard any Christian says, “Sin is sin” when they hear of a fellow Christian falling into sin? Is that true? I think its clear even in society not all crimes are the same and we don’t say, “Crime is crime.” A man stealing food to feed his family is not the same crime as one murdering him.... Read more
Here are seven great Bible verses that relate to conflict and how to avoid it. Proverbs 15:1 “A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” The way to settle conflict is not who can shout the loudest. Why not put the issue at the center of the conflict and not the people. A simple reminder of the so-called “love chapter” should help as the Apostle Paul wrote, “Love is patient and kind; love does not... Read more
Here are seven Bible verses that might relate to hobbies. First Corinthians 10:31 “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” Hobbies are a great way to unwind. They help us take a break from the daily grind of life. Some like fishing. Others enjoy hunting. I like playing the guitar. I like college sports too but it’s important to make sure whatever hobby it is, that it glorifies God and... Read more

What does it mean when someone speaks about the authority of Scripture? Second Timothy 3:16-17 “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” We can be comprehensive when we say that Scripture is not of human origin but were breathed-out by God Himself and were given to men to record and these and all Scriptures...

Colossians 3:23-24 “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward.

Here are seven Bible verses in reference to tomorrow. Proverb 27:1 “Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.” It’s natural to talk about tomorrow and things you’ve planned to do but no one knows if tomorrow will even come for us. We do know that everyone has a day appointed unto death and that judgment will follows (Heb 9:27), so this side of the grave we must be sure we’re in a... Read more
Here are seven Bible verses relating to stubbornness in the human heart. Philippians 2:3 “Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.” I don’t believe you can be humble and conceited at the same time.

Here are seven Bible verses about strangers around us. Hebrews 13:2 “Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” Hebrews chapter 13 is written within the context of “brotherly love” continuing or be continually practiced, even among the aliens or strangers in our midst because as far as we know, they could be an angel and to neglect to show hospitality to a stranger is to be inhospitable to them and to God....
