    Advice for New Believers Living With Unsaved Family

    When someone first comes to Christ, they are often spiritually fragile — like a newborn learning to stand. The Bible calls them “babes in Christ,” needing milk before meat. In those early stages, living with unbelieving family members can be especially difficult. Not every household welcomes the...

    My Testimony of Healing

    I just want to take a moment to give all glory and praise to the Lord for what He has done in my life. Over these past long months, I went through pain, setbacks, frustration, and a lot of uncertainty with my ankle. There were days when I had no idea how things would turn out, and days when I...

    The Growing Problem of AI-Written Posts on This Forum

    Lately I’ve been sounding the alarm about the rise of AI-generated posts showing up all over this board. It’s becoming pretty obvious when someone isn’t writing in their own voice anymore — the tone changes, the phrasing gets oddly polished, and the replies start sounding like they came straight...

    If you have Jesus Christ - Father, Son & Holy Ghost [Each 3 distinct persons] - You can overcome!

    If you have Jesus Christ — that means you have the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, right? Each are three distinct Persons, yet one God in perfect unity — not three gods, and not one person morphing into different forms like a Transformer toy. Scripture shows all three acting together at...

    The Roman Catholic Church vs. The Word of God

    Many sincere people within the Roman Catholic Church truly love God and seek to serve Him. But as followers of Christ, we must “prove all things; hold fast that which is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21). When we test Catholic doctrine against the King James Bible, several contradictions appear that...

    Alberto Rivera — His Testimony and What It Reveals About the Church of Rome

    Many have heard of Alberto Rivera (1935–1997) — a man who claimed to be a former Jesuit priest who escaped from Rome after discovering the inner workings of the Vatican. His story was made widely known through Jack Chick’s “Alberto” comic series, where he shared what he said were shocking truths...

    Reading Scripture Rightly — Exegesis vs. Eisegesis

    When we approach God’s Word, how we read it matters just as much as what we read. Exegesis means drawing out the meaning that’s already in the text — letting Scripture speak for itself. Eisegesis, on the other hand, means reading into the text — forcing our own ideas or assumptions onto it...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    Acts 2:38 (KJV) 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. The line of reasoning mentioned in (“Acts 2:38 says be baptized for the remission of sins”) is a...

    Eisegesis — Injecting Poison into the Bible

    2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV) “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” When we read our own opinions, biases, or cultural ideas into Scripture instead of drawing truth out of Scripture, that’s called eisegesis — and it’s...

    When Culture Starts Shaping the Church

    Romans 12:2 (KJV) “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” The Apostle Paul warned believers not to let the world press them into its mold. Sadly, that’s exactly...

    Test Everything by Scripture

    Not everything I say is a “holy nugget.” The final authority is always the Bible. Always pray and test everything against Scripture — not just against personal feelings or spiritual impressions. Grace and Peace

    God’s Balance Between Mercy and Ownership — A Lesson from Deuteronomy 23:24-25

    One interesting law in regard to the crops in the fields states that one had the privilege of plucking grapes or grain from his neighbor’s fields if he were only passing through. He could not, however, expect to do so with a sickle in his hand (Deut. 23:24–25). Eugene H. Merrill, An Historical...

    Christians Should Be Mindful of Their Spending and Save for Rainy Days

    As believers, we’re called to be good stewards of what God provides — not just in our spiritual walk, but also in our finances. Scripture reminds us that “it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful” (1 Corinthians 4:2). In today’s world, it’s easy to get caught up in materialism...

    The “Water” in Noah’s Story

    1 Peter 3:20 (KJV) 20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. The same water that destroyed the wicked also lifted up the ark that Noah’s family was in...
