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.

“Just be a Good Person”? Really?
Is being a "good person" enough? There is none who does good (Romans 3:12). We must be found in Christ with His righteousness (Philippians 3:8-9) by obeying Him.

Don’t Glamorize Sin!
The world tries to make sin look glamorous, but the price of sin was the death of the Son of God (Romans 5:6). Don't cheapen Christ's sacrifice by glamorizing its cause.

The Power of Humility
Instead of reacting, be proactive by putting your own concerns on the back burner for a few minutes and listening actively to the other party. Listening is the humble thing to do (James 1:19).

Cussing in Front of the Preacher
It is not the preacher that a person needs to worry about cussing in front of—it’s God Almighty! And He hears it all!
