Biblical Qualifications These days, just about anybody can be ordained into the ministry but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re qualified.

Christians are declared saints by God but we’re also called sinners but the difference between the believer and the unbeliever is that one’s sins... Read more

Last updated on: December 24, 2015 at 6:03 pm By Jack Wellman

What are the so-called “Seven Deadly Sins” in the Bible? Is that what they’re really called? All Sin is Deadly It only takes one sin to bring down any of us but we have multitudes of sins by now in our lives so “only one sin” seems ridiculous. The point is, God hates sin and sin separates us from God (Isaiah 59:2). Don’t get the idea that those who sin less are going to escape the wrath of God. The... Read more
