2 Thessalonians 2:10 observes, they perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
Truth hurts. Most of us don’t really like the truth because it has a nasty way of disagreeing with the way we want things to be.
Truth is not swayed by our will or wishes; it doesn’t change because we cry or scream. We become deceitful and lie in order to create an illusion of truth so that we get what we want.
God says He is truth. (more…)
Colossians 2:6 commands, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in 
Him. What makes a person a Christian?
The debate has long raged because unlike all of the other religions, there are no ‘3 steps’ to making oneself a Christian. There are however 3 principles that if not evident in our lives should cause us much concern about our belief that we truly are Christians. (more…)
Matthew 7:14 warns small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
This generation finds offensive God’s instruction that He has only one way for entering heaven. It seems more fair, more loving, more gracious for all religions to be acceptable to God so that all people can get to heaven.
The problem with this thinking is that it ignores the love of God and the sacrifice God made for saving people. (more…)
Luke 1.35 proclaims the child to be born will be called the Son of God.
Christmas is the Christian holiday of celebrating the arrival of God to earth as a man in order to become the human sacrifice for God.
The original sin, and all sin since then, can be boiled down to the single issue of man wants to be god. Our anger is a direct reflection of this inherent bent for our angry feelings reflect our unhappiness with the fact that all is not going according to our sovereign will.
Buddhism, Hinduism and Mormonism all have as their end game the divinity of their adherents if they are faithful to follow their religious teachings. This is the ultimate expression of that inherent desire to be god; the all controlling, all powerful, all worshiped, all adhered to, all envied being we wish we would become. (more…)
John 6:54 promises anyone who does eat My flesh and drink My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him at the Last Day.
We call this symbolic participation in the body and blood of Christ the Eucharist, Communion or the Lord’s Supper. The earliest church practiced this event at every gathering, a tradition still in place by some of the Church.
But what is this eating of His flesh and drinking of His blood?
Many of the first disciples who heard God say this walked away from Him thinking He had lost His mind. Muslims find this teaching barbaric even cannibalistic proving in their minds the falsity of the Christian religion.
So what is God inviting us into when He invites us to supper with Him and He is the main course? (more…)
2 Timothy 2:8 describes Jesus Christ a man, born into King David’s family; and God, as shown by the fact that He rose again
from the dead.
The Trinity is wholly unique within Christianity. No other religion, not Islam, not Hinduism, not the Jehovah Witnesses, not Mormonism nor Buddhism make that claim that God Himself became and is both God and Man.
Why is this one truth so important to Christianity and so despised by Muslims, Witnesses and Mormons particularly? (more…)
