Does a Christian have a duty, a responsibility, an onus to behave morally, to act kindly, to do good? Titus 3:14 "And let our people also learn to maintain good works, to meet urgent needs, that they may not be unfruitful." Scripture seems to clearly say yes. The confusion then arises. How...

So much confusion... Grace, works, both?? Of course we are saved by grace. Who deserves to be in the presence of God; to be filled with a Holy God with such Holiness we can not fathom on this side of Heaven? Ok I found grace, I found God. Do I need to work? No! Submit to God and He will work...

If the future has not happened yet, (as it is perceived by us to not have happened yet); and God is not limited by anything other than Himself; and if we all have a free will, choices to make; would anything inhibit God from seeing every possible choice that could unfold and the infinite...

"Years ago, I read a definition of worship that to this day rings with clear and magnificent terms. The definition comes from the famed archbishop William Temple: "Worship is the submission of all of our nature to God. It is the quickening of the conscience by his holiness; the nourishment of...

Paul doesn't mince words. We must sow to the Spirit to reap Eternal life. (Galatians 6:8) This can only be done by Grace. No-one receives reconciliation to God and thus the Holy Spirit other than through the blood of Christ. Sowing to the Spirit is in fact boasting in weakness (2 Corinthians...

"If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the teaching that accords with godliness, he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing...." 1 Timothy 6:3-4 The only way to attempt to reconcile this, would be to try and...

"...It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me...."Galatians 2:20 Exactly how we love like Christ loves. "For in Christ Jesus...faith working through love." Galatians 5:6 Christ expressed in us, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness...

"that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for Him who for their sake died..." 2 Corinthians 5:15 How? "For the love of Christ controls us...(2 Corinthians 5:14)," by grace, by faith, by repentance. Why? "Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making His appeal through...

http://www.covenanteyes.com/.../brain-chemicals-and-porn-add... Science backs up what God says is harmful for us. The lie is that God is trying to keep us from enjoying ourselves. Once again it's proven He is looking out for us, because He loves us. Not only has he given us the law to help...

In a debate recently, an agnostic refuted the proof of lives changed by Christ by saying lots of people say their religion has helped them so they are the same. The help then becomes the key. How does Christ help us? Is it different? Most agnostics will agree there are some moralistic...

On the eve of Valentine's Day, the time seemed right to broach the subject of love. We pursue love, we want love to be everlasting, unconditional, perfect, a fairytale. We look for it from our parents, and God bless them most do the best they possibly can, but we are left wanting. We think a...

"I can do all things through Him who strengthens me." Phiilipians 4:13 The question really is: Are you trying to do on your own or through Christ (through faith, trust and fellowship with Him)?

"Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward." Psalm 127:3 It's a sad day on the anniversary of the U.S. Government rejecting this truth and the truth that our nation was founded upon. "We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal...

"...created in Christ Jesus for good works..." Ephesians 2:10 There are two kinds of attempted good works. One actual kind. 1. Good works done with the conscious or subconscious intent of puffing one's own pride/ego/self. Seeking righteousness in and among oneself. These ultimately are not...

The game in which 'Christians' have disdain for their neighbors because of their sin; all the while ignoring theirs because "It's not that bad". Why not have compassion for our neighbors the way Jesus demonstrated for us all who are harming ourselves and others with our sin; and press on to...

One Kingdom of God, of Christ... Avaible to Jews and Gentiles alike through Christ. It is Spiritual.

Our hearts. Our love. With Christ's love and grace given to us, God desires our love in return. Fellowship with Him. A close personal love relationship with Him through His Spirit. His love reciprocated back to Him vertically and horizontally to all those He loves. Our lives poured out to Him in...

"Is Christ divided?" 1 Corinthians1:13 No. There is one Spiritual body of Christ.

"So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy of being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind." Phiilipians 2:1-2 One Spirit, One love, One God, One Christ...

So my question for atheists is: Either all the power and energy in existence in this universe/dimension or any other universe/dimension, and any other existence or realm has either always existed eternally or it came into existence with no cause? Both possibilities I admit are mind boggling...
