Is using the word “Easter” pagan? Should Christians use the name Easter? Is Easter Pagan? Is using the word “Easter” pagan and is the word of pagan origin? Wait before you answer that.  Many believe that Easter has connections with paganism. Some things we grant are not from the Bible. Things like hiding and gathering Easter eggs, painting Easter eggs, people buying baby bunnies (bad idea), and other such traditions. The eggs and bunny are said to portray fertility, but that has nothing to do with the resurrection of Jesus Christ. On the other side, people are becoming more condemning of ..read more

The story of Joseph in Genesis has striking similarities and portrayals to Jesus Christ. Jesus and Joseph The story of Joseph in Genesis has striking similarities and portrayals to Jesus Christ. Joseph is the only man in the Bible (besides Jesus) who is never said to have sinned. Of course, we all sin and fall short of His glory (Rom 3:32), but the Scriptures are silent about Joseph’s sin. We know he did, but the reason that it is never mentioned is perhaps God is showing us an example or forerunner of the coming sinless Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, Who was without sin. Joseph’s life is a portra ..read more

Thousands and thousands of prisoners are being saved behind bars? Why? What’s going on? Slaves of Someone Thousands upon thousands of prisoners are being saved behind bars? Why? What’s going on? If we are saved, then we are, as the Scriptures say, slaves of Christ. The Greek word “Doulos” occurs almost every time where “servant” is used in the New Testament. If we are not saved, then we are slaves of sin. We cannot be slaves to nothing. We are either Christ’s and slaves of His and are the children of God…or we are under Satan’s sway and slaves to sin and are the children of the Devil. I know t ..read more

How can Christians learn to spot the differences between false prophets and pastors and those who are biblically centered? Satan’s Ministers How can Christians learn to spot the differences between false prophets and pastors and those who are biblically centered? We do know that Satan has his own ministers and they appear like angels of light (2 Cor 11:4), meaning they sound good and look good, but inwardly, they are ravenous wolves in sheep’s clothing. Joel Osteen is a perfect example. He sure looks sharp there in front of the TV camera, but does he ever preach verse by verse from Scripture ..read more

Biblically solid churches are disappearing quickly, so what’s happening? Falling Away Biblically solid churches are disappearing quickly, so what’s happening? The Apostle Paul warned that “the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions” (2 Tim 4:3). This is why Paul puts such importance on telling Timothy he must “Follow the pattern of the sound words that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus” (2 Tim 1:13). Those words from Paul surely included the g ..read more

How can Christians overcome the fear and anxiety of living in an increasingly dangerous world? No Condemnation How can Christians overcome the fear and anxiety of living in an increasingly dangerous world? Why not start with something from God’s Word and a promise that “God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control” (2 Tim 1:7)? What do we have to fear anymore since Jesus Christ had the wrath of God we deserved placed upon Him at Calvary, so “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Rom 9:1). We know that no one “nor anything else in ..read more

How can we witness to lost sinners and at least plant a seed so that someone else might water it? God Gives the Increase How can we witness to lost sinners and at least plant a seed so that someone else might water it? The late pastor Adrian Rogers once put it nicely when saying, “It’s not our responsibility to save anyone…it is their response to His ability,” meaning only God can save. Even so, He is pleased to use us as a means to His end and save those who will hear the Word of God. We can plant the seed of God’s Word, but only God can make it increase. When the early New Testament church b ..read more

Just how close are we to Jesus Christ’s second coming? What does the Bible say? The Day of His Return  Just how close are we to Jesus Christ’s second coming? What does the Bible say? To be sure, today we’re one day closer to His return than yesterday, but just how close are we to Jesus’ coming again? Can we know? To be sure, we cannot ever know the exact day and the exact hour of His return. Jesus Himself said this when asked about the time of His return. Our Lord told the disciples, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority” (Acts 1:8). Je ..read more

Roman’s 13 teaches submission to authorities, but how far should Christians go when submitting to the laws of men? Submit to Authorities Roman’s 13 teaches submission to authorities, but how far should Christians go when submitting to the laws of men?

There are a few different camps of people in this group. There are those that blindly follow, and these followers will sometimes be hostile toward anyone questioning ..read more
