God’s Law on Divorce and Remarriage
Today, men and women divorce for just about any reason imaginable, and our states allow no-fault divorce. There are not many times where you find that God says that He hates something (Malachi 2:16). He is completely opposed to divorce because it is not what has been from the beginning, because it can disrupt one’s […]
Standing in the Truth
The Bible, along with imparting God’s revealed truth on many spiritual subjects, also adds multiple admonitions for the purpose of proper application.

God’s Law on Marriage
Many today marry, divorce, and remarry without considering God’s law.

Abundant Life Church Advertisement
The Abundant Life Church of Houston, TX, has a billboard that says: “We will not condemn you. We will not criticize you. We will only love you.” Doubtless, the church’s aims are pure, their goals sincere. However, they equate criticism and condemnation with a lack of love.

However, as a Christian, I must refuse to play this game, and I refuse to […]
How Do I Know God Exists?
When it comes right down to it, the question I’m going to pose to you today is the entire root of our belief system.

Confronting Error With Truth
We are to be friendly to all as we try to convert people. At the same time, we must be true to our calling. So we are to teach God’s truth so the lost can be saved (1 Corinthians 9:16). Christians absolutely must realize that we are at war against Satan and therefore sin and […]
