Christian Reflections

A satanic kind of love: Why Christians must balance love with hatred for sin

As Christians, it's natural to oppose lies or any other kind of ungodly acts, but does this mean it's okay to hate?

Gaining Wisdom and Understanding

Short and sweet, and to the point!

Sharing in Jesus' Suffering

It's amazing to think of how Jesus, who was perfect, was so willing to suffer for our sakes. He not only suffered to be an example for us, but took on all the sins and sufferings of the entire world.

Searching for Truth

As wonderful as it is to have the abundance of study resources we have available to us today, it makes sense to be cautious and go first to the most trusted source of truth, the Bible.

Life lessons from Ecclesiastes

With the way things are going in the world, sometimes it's hard to think of things as ever getting any better. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 explains there is a season and a time for everything that happens under the heavens.

Gods healing light

When I see the sun shining, it makes me know God still has hope for this world. Every single day is another chance for us to acknowledge Him.

Contemporary religious battles: Faith vs. Tolerance

We're living in an age where we're supposed to be tolerant, not only of other faiths, but of everyone and everything. Yet, if you look around, all you seem to see is a lot of fighting and protesting.

Is the world today out of control?

These days, with laws permitting so much, (all in the name of freedom) man has gradually been letting go of self control more and more. No wonder sin abounds!

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

Its in my weakness that His strength is made perfect. I am no longer a perfectionist, trying to do everything on my own, but someone who knows "I can do all things (only) through Christ who strengthens me."

The Quiet Room

Sometimes we exhaust ourselves trying so hard to solve our own problems. Satan is wearing us down and we need an escape, somewhere to rest.

Why is There so Much Disagreeing in the Christian Faith?

There seems to be so much disagreeing among Christians it leads you to wonder if there's anything they actually do agree on. How can there be so much disagreement when we all worship the same God and read the same Bible?

Is the Bible outdated and irrelevant?

Spiritual truth makes The Word of God indispensable and relevant in all generations. We may think that all we do on earth is just for the here and now, but our Creator has a pattern and a design that is eternal and universal.

Are Fairies, Wizards and Other Supernatural Beings Real?

These days, instead of believing in God, a lot of people believe in wizards, fairies, elves, and other fantasy creatures. I think its ironic how God and the Bible are called fantasy, yet wizards, fairies, elves, and even vampires, are treated as if they're real.

Christian understanding of how and why to become like little children in faith

Children are so innocent and trusting. Nothing much gets in the way of their faith, does it? They totally trust someone to take care of them and provide for their every need. When God says to come to Him like "little children," this is exactly what He means.

Are there essential principles of Christian doctrine to which all Christians can agree?

Anyone who has read the Bible in its entirety knows there's an underlying theme on which the word of God is based. Whether in the Old Testament or the New, this theme is evident: we are to fear God, keep His commandments, and to love others as ourselves.

What day is the true Sabbath day?

The true Sabbath is neither Saturday or Sunday, or any day for that matter.

Christian ethic towards homosexuals

Many Christians believe it is their duty to point out what a deplorable sin homosexuality is and the need to repent. Are they right?

Reflections on Psalm 23

Does the 23rd Psalm remind you of death and funerals? It does to me, to an extent, because it's so often recited at funerals.Yet, whenever I read the entire chapter I don't think of death at all, but of life.

Short stories: It Is Well With My Soul

Somehow, a dark cloud that had decided to park itself right over top of my head, seemed to bring sunshine into the life of a lonely old woman..

Christians Dealing with Sin

Are Christians getting a raw deal these days? They are often shunned and accused of being self-righteous and judgmental. Maybe it's time they address these accusations and take a long hard look...at themselves.

Bible study: Matthew 13, Wheat and Tares

Sometimes Christians can be a little too overzealous when it comes to pointing out the sins of the world.

Comparative punishment of child sexual abuse vs. other crimes

There's a lot of talk these days about "appropriate" sentences for pedophiles and child abusers. How long should their sentences be or what kind of punishment do they deserve?
