    about Suicide

    They're weak, not like us strong ones? Sounds like Darwinian Evolution. Rather I think we should be talking about the Lord Jesus, he is the one who has overcome the world, who has overcome death and hell. We should stand in His righteousness, the robe of righteousness that He has given to...

    Do our words carry the same power as God?

    Hello! Thanks for the reply. They certainly are. I was surprised to discover how many Christians I knew from various denominations were listening to music from sources such as Hillsong, Elevation or Bethel. Worship music contains teaching and Theology, dodgy lyrics and the feeling of...

    Do our words carry the same power as God?

    Hello! It's not completely scientific but if you were to investigate social media, the number of views and likes of televangelists/ speakers who claim outrageous things and compare that to more biblical sound teachers, you would perhaps come to the conclusion that the extreme and un-biblical is...

    Do our words carry the same power as God?

    That's true! Many of the NT Letters address false teachers and the Lord Jesus too commanded us to watch Matthew 7:15- Watch out for false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are voracious wolves. One question I have often asked, many (I didn't say all) WOF/Pentecostal/...

    Once saved always saved (OSAS) debunked

    Hello Magenta, that's an interesting observation. Another is that the church is referred to as the bride, for example, Revelation 19:6-8. In the parable of the wise and foolish women according to Jewish custom the bride and the bridegroom would be coming back together, the ten women would be...

    Andy Stanley's Apostasy

    Perhaps this passage is addressing the issue: 1 Corinthains 3: 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is...

    Andy Stanley's Apostasy

    Sometimes there can be a tendency in churches today to appoint an outwardly popular or seemingly successful candidate to a leadership post and be less concerned with character or doctrine. Truth comes second to playing the crowd and tickling ears. I think this scripture speaks of leaders...

    Is God's Grace Sufficient to Keep Us from Sinning?

    I would agree. I heard the testimony of a man who before being saved was a drug addict and lived by robbing houses. After he was saved he no longer took drugs or robbed houses. That does not mean he lives a life of sinless perfection, if anyone claims to be without sin he is a liar, it means...

    Andy Stanley's Apostasy

    Hello Oyster, thanks for your reply. Good to hear from you! The Parable of the Sower illustrates very well what I was trying to say. The seed that falls on the path, on the stony ground, among thorns and the seed that falls on the good soil. The seed is the word of God. Where the seed lands...

    Do our words carry the same power as God?

    No. Who can speak and have it happen if the Lord has not decreed it? Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and good things come? (Lamentations 3:37-38) God Bless You :)

    Andy Stanley's Apostasy

    Hello! Some would describe that category of person as never having been saved in the first instance, professing faith in God but denying him by their works. Others would say that person had 'lost their salvation'. Perhaps it depends on how salvation in the first instance is viewed. Being...
