Sin is lawlessness, disobeying God’s righteous, the just law of love. Jesus summarized God’s law in Luke 10:27 (NIV), “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” The Apostle Paul explained God’s law with […]
All scriptures are from the Christian Standard Bible (CSB) translation. Luke 3:14, “Likewise the soldiers asked him (Jesus), saying, ‘And what shall we do?’ So he (Jesus) said to them, ‘Do not intimidate anyone or accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.’” Philippians 4:11, “Not that I speak in regard to need, for I […]
All Christians will see hell but they will be resurrected! How does the Bible define hell? In the Old Testament, the word for “hell” is the Hebrew word “Sheol” (Strongs #7585). It is the condition of death. Every single person dies and goes to the same place – “Sheol”. Ecclesiastes 9:10 explains what Sheol is […]
Matthew 5:8, “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God." To paraphrase: Blessed are those whose heart motives are pure, clean, and holy. It is our sincerity of intention and will that is required. This does not mean Christians are perfect in their motives. Our hearts, minds, and consciences have been sickened by […]

Zechariah 14:3-5 (ESV), “Then the LORD will go out and fight against those nations as when he fights on a day of battle. 4 On that day his feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives that lies before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from east […]
What is the Sanctuary – what or who does it represent? Literally, the Sanctuary was the place to praise and worship God, make offerings to Him, etc. (Hebrews 9:2) In the spiritual sense, it is where God’s true children, His Church dwell. We dwell not in a place but our hearts and minds unite in communion […]
No, but it may be an act of Satan or his demons. Is Satan real? Does he exist? Yes. Satan first disrupted man’s life when he lied by telling Adam and Eve they would not die if they were disobedient. (Genesis 3:4) Ever since, we have lived with the painful consequences. Satan enjoys anything contrary […]
No. Christians may not fight physically. It’s devilish when people hit, beat, or rob us. But many have suffered for righteousness. Remember the great Apostle Paul’s hardships. 2 Corinthians11:24-27, “Five different times the Jewish leaders gave me thirty-nine lashes. Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned…I have faced danger from rivers […]
No. God had made a covenant with Abraham and his descendants to give them the land of Canaan. Genesis 13:14-15, “…God said to Abram, Lift your eyes now and look…northward, southward, eastward, and westward; for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever.” Years later, Jacob and his sons […]
