Ever heard any of the quotes below?
Especially when sharing what the Bible says on a certain issue?
“This isn’t unconditional love, we are supposed to love unconditionally.”
“I am appalled by the unchristian tone of this … “
“Who gave you the right to judge these people?”
“Can’t we just focus on what we have in common?”
“Don’t be so [...]
Why share the gospel? For the sake of the unbelieving? Or For Christ’s Sake?
Philippians 2:8-11
8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,
10 so [...]
We need to be careful of how we relate to the world and unbelievers. Although we are called to share the gospel, we are still warned repeatedly about how we are to use caution when we interact with the world. If we are not careful, unbelieving worldly people will lead us astray.
Even those that claim [...]

“The Scripture is to be its own interpreter or rather the Spirit speaking in it;
nothing can cut the diamond but the diamond;
nothing can interpret Scripture but Scripture.”

Thomas Watson
“The true Christian was intended by Christ to prove all things by the Word of God, all churches, all ministers, all teaching, all preaching, all doctrines, all sermons, all writings, all opinions, all practices. These are his marching orders. Prove all by the Word of God; measure all by the measure of the Bible; compare [...]
Do you see no problem with combining evolution with the Bible?
Do you question things like a donkey speaking or the miracles in the Bible?
Do you claim the Bible is inaccurate or full of contradictions?
You are traveling the path that Charles Darwin took.
Charles Darwin in The Autobiography of Charles Darwin: 1809-1882. An interesting detail about this [...]
“Remember that it is not hasty reading but serious meditation on holy and heavenly truths, which makes them prove sweet and profitable to the soul. It is not the mere touching of the flower by the bee which gathers honey but her abiding for a time on the flower which draws out the sweet. It [...]
“The truth of God does not tickle our ears, it boxes them. It burns them.
It reproves, rebukes, convicts–then it exhorts and encourages.
Preachers of the Word must be careful to maintain that balance.”

John MacArthur
This quote is from Why I Am Committed to Teaching the Bible on the Grace to You website.
HT: Donna
No matter how many times someone hears the preaching of God’s Word it will do them no good and have no effect unless the Lord grants them the Faith to believe and understand the Word. Until God shows Mercy and Grace by granting faith to believe, that person will never understand. They can hear all [...]
Have you ever thought that no matter how much you read the Bible you just can’t get into it?
That you just read words and quickly forget them?
That it is just a waste of time?
This story is one I’ve heard Paul Washer tell in some of his sermon’s. This is just my retelling of it so [...]
How long is it since you read right through the Bible?
Do you spend as much time with the Bible each day
as you do even with the newspaper?
What fools some of us are! — and we remain fools all our lives,
simply because we will not take the trouble to do what has to be done
to receive [...]
Psalms 141:5 Let a righteous man strike me—it is a kindness; let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head; let my head not refuse it. ESV
Proverbs 1:23 If you turn at my reproof, behold, I will pour out my spirit to you; I will make my words known to you. ESV
Proverbs 3:11-12
11 My son, [...]
Often I have received emails from others asking:
“Who is right?”
“Who is teaching the true gospel?”
“But Pastor “XYZ” says __________ ?”
“This website says _____________ !”
The only way for anyone to determine what is true and right is to examine it for yourselves according to the Scriptures.
Acts 17:11 “Now the Bereans were of more noble character than [...]
I really don’t understand how people will pick a verse for their theme verse and have no clue what it means. Does no one tell them? What about their own pastors?
Youth being reached for the Lord at ‘The Furnace’
They came up with the name ‘The Furnace’ from a verse of scripture in the Bible.
“Hebrews 12:29 [...]
This is something I have been studying the past few days.
What I have learned has been so very interesting and has helped me better understand Scripture and its meaning.
This was started somewhat when I read the different meanings of the word “world” in the Bible.
See What in the World does “World” Mean in the Bible? [...]
Perspicuity of Scripture is the belief that everything pertaining to salvation is understandable to the common man from a simple reading of Scripture when God opens a person’s eye to the truth.
Notice though that God must open a person’s eyes. Until the Lord opens their eyes nothing they read may make sense. That is why [...]
Yesterday for some reason, I just happened to tell the children that “Perspicuity of the Scripture” was the word of the day.
I then explained to them what it means.
Do you know? Without having to look it up?
But I must admit I had to look up the spelling of perspicuity.

Ephesians 5:11-14
11 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.
12 For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret.
13 But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible,
14 for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, [...]
