“Don’t Be Afraid”
Jesus warned against fear many times and came to release us from the fear of death (Hebrews 2:14-15). Only Jesus can take away fear when we put Him in its place.

Religion of the Heart
Christianity is a religion of the heart. God writes His laws on our hearts (Hebrews 8:10), and no one else enforces them. To be a faithful Christian, the choice is yours.

“Walk By Faith”
We walk by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7), and faith comes by hearing God's word (Romans 10:17). We must have a word from God to please Him.

Mortality Rate for Humans Still 100%
Even if we cured every disease, the mortality rate would still be 100 percent (Hebrews 9:27). Jesus releases us from the fear of death (Hebrews 2:14-15). Do we trust Him?

“I have performed the commandment of the Lord!”
King Saul claimed, "I have performed the commandment of the Lord" (1 Samuel 15:13), but obeyed only partly. Jesus wants us to obey all His words, not just some.

The Old Covenant tithe supported the priesthood, not wealth redistribution, and that covenant was nailed to the cross (Colossians 2:14). Israel's government is obsolete.
-
Does the Bible Teach Socialism/Communism? (Part 2)
Did Jesus teach socialism because He helped the poor? No. Jesus did not seek an earthly kingdom (John 18:36) or support enforcing His teaching by the sword.

Does the Bible Teach Socialism/Communism? (Part 1)
People often find in the Bible what they want to find. Supporters of socialism misuse passages like Acts 2:44-45, which teach voluntary giving, to support their system.

Never Give Up on Evangelism!

The Addiction of Success
Pragmatism says "if it works, it must be right," but success is not God's standard. We are unprofitable servants (Luke 17:10); lay up treasures in heaven instead.

Spiritual Surgery

“Love is Love” – Is love the basis of marriage?

Grumpy Cat
Grumpy Cat may be funny, but a grumpy lifestyle is contrary to God's word. The Christian's life should be marked by joy (Philippians 4:4) and a cheerful disposition.

Doing things "in advance" means either borrowing from the future or preparing for it. Like Moses (Hebrews 11:24-26), will we live for the moment or prepare for eternity?
-
Is the Bible Inerrant?
Yes, the Bible is inerrant as originally given because it is inspired by God, who does not lie (2 Timothy 3:16). Alleged contradictions do not hold up under study.
