My Father
My father is so amazing! The longer I know him, the more I begin to see his love and his wisdom. My father doesn’t just dote on us kids. Certainly, he does plenty of that, but the depth of his love for all of us, plus his wisdom that is far above any human wisdom, won’t allow him to spoil us...- Rick Love

Hate Evil, Love God
We all have a story to tell, don’t we? It is the story of our lives. It tells where we came from, where we have been, the people we have known, the things we have experienced and felt, where we have lived, the things we have done, both bad and good, the lessons all of this taught us, and where...- Sue J Love

Unmet Expectations
Scenario: The church at large, particularly here in the USA, though not the entire church, or every individual believer in Jesus Christ, has adapted itself to a false grace gospel. This gospel has all the appearance of being the true gospel, but it is deceptive, for it is a half-truth gospel...- Sue J Love

We Once Walked
And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires...- Sue J Love

For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.

What's New?
Background I’ve been trusting Jesus Christ as both my savior and lord for a week now. Most of my life I thought I was a good Christian, but my lifestyle proclaimed a different story. I’ve written a good amount on my past life, which was steeped in sexual addiction and sinful habits, but some...- Rick Love

Who can and cannot be saved.
Hello. Friendly atheist here. I come to the forums ‘cuz I’m interested in discussing religious matters and they just don’t generally come up when hanging out with my in-person Christian friends. I am definitely NOT here to insult or to (de)convert. I may say things to which some take offense...- Kirby D. P.

Free in Christ
What does it mean to be “free in Christ”? Truly it means our sins are forgiven and we are no longer under condemnation. Amen. And, if we are in Christ, by faith in him, we, thus, have the hope of eternal life with God in glory. But, is there more to this freedom than that? The Lord Jesus led me...- Sue J Love

Free Indeed
Do you ever feel like what you have done is so bad that you could never be forgiven? Are you afraid to tell the truth for fear you will be rejected? Or, out of fear of other consequences? Do you remain in sinful addiction because you have given up hope of ever changing? The Lord Jesus led me to...- Sue J Love

Snatched Out of the Fire
Beware! Both Jude and Peter warn us about a group of people who will infiltrate into the church and will have a terrible influence on many in the body of Christ.

Does everyone who has faith in God have the same kind of faith? Does it matter if we don’t? Do all types of faith lead to the same end result? The Lord Jesus led me to read 2 Peter 1 (Select vv.

Call On Him
Our God, the One and Only True God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – is absolutely amazing! His grace is amazing! He loves us so much that he, Jesus Christ, God the Son, died on a cross for our sins.

Do we live what we say we believe? Or, is our belief just words? Or, is it just a religion? Or is it just religious practices, rituals and ceremonies?

Yielded to God
If you are in Christ Jesus, by faith, how long have you known him? And, do you really know him? Do you know what he requires of you, you who have believed in him?

When you hear the phrase, “The grace of God,” what comes to mind? What is grace, in fact? And, if you accept God’s grace into your life, what does that mean? What does that look like exactly?
