Do Not Be Unequally Yoked

Do Not Be Unequally Yoked I remember my first few months at business school: my goal was to be a light to those that were lost by by letting others no what true Christianity was, not the judgmental version which gets a bad rap.  I would go out with my friends not to be entertained [...]

God’s Divine Order: Man, Women, and Angels

God’s Divine Order: Man, Women, and Angels 1 Corinthians 11 gives a very clear example of the divine order that was set at creation: “For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.” – 1 Corinthians 11:8-9 The head of Christ is God, [...]

What Does it Mean to Suffer as a Christian?

What Does it Mean to Suffer as a Christian? Suffering is how we develop perseverance and self-control (Romans 5:3).  Through suffering we are learning to endure hardships and we are learning to submit to God by developing obedience (Hebrews 5:8).  Since God’s will for us is to be sanctified and flee from the desires and [...]

Godly Counsel: The Mistake of Rehoboam

Godly Counsel: The Mistake of Rehoboam In 1 Kings 11:31-32, Ahijah prophesied to Jeroboam that God will divide Israel into two kingdoms: Judah (southern) and Israel (northern).  Jeroboam was to receive the ten northern tribes but for the sake of David, God spared one tribe, Judah, for the southern division.  Please see All Israel will [...]

Sorting Out God’s Will – Acts 21:4 “Finding the disciples there, we stayed with them seven days.

Does God Show Favoritism to the Elect?

Does God Show Favoritism to the Elect? Since the bible mentions that there is an elect (Mark 13:27, 1 Timothy 5:21, 2 Timothy 2:10, 1 Peter 1:1), this must imply that there is a non-elect.  Elect in Greek is eklektos which means the favorite or chosen one.  But does God show favoritism?

Looking at the Fruits

Judging Others by their Fruits 1 Corinthians 5:12: “What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church?  Are you not to judge those inside?  God will judge those outside. ‘Expel the wicked man from among you.’” I decided to write an article on judging those within the church because this seems to [...]

How to choose when you don’t know what to choose

How to choose when you don’t know what to choose So many of us ask this question.  While we are unsanctified, we will not hear from God properly.  We think God is telling us something, but it is our mind tricking us.  When we are sanctified, we can hear God more clearly and distinguish between [...]
