The sexual revolution in America, which began in earnest during the 1960s and 1970s, has had profound and lasting impacts on society, culture, and morality. At its core, the sexual revolution was a movement that sought to challenge and overturn traditional views on sex, marriage, and personal freedom. What began as a rebellion against conservative social norms has now transformed into a society where sexual expression is viewed as a primary aspect of individual identity, and where biblical morality has increasingly been replaced by secular moral relativism. This shift has led to the ...

Jesus’ teaching on suffering cannot be understood apart from His command to love. The two are interwoven because true love always involves sacrifice, and sacrifice inevitably includes suffering. When Jesus told His disciples in John 15:12–13, “This is My commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends,” He defined love by His own act of laying down His life on the cross. This was not sentiment or emotion alone, but the deepest demonstration of love possible — the giving of Himself in ...

Here are 10 Bible-based facts that help us see the difference between criticism and conviction: Criticism often tears down; conviction builds up – Criticism looks for faults to expose, but the Spirit’s conviction brings awareness of sin to lead us toward repentance and restoration (John 16:8). Criticism is man-centered; conviction is God-centered – Criticism focuses on what others think about us, while conviction is rooted in God’s truth and what He says about our hearts (Romans 3:19–20). Criticism condemns without hope; conviction offers grace – The enemy uses accusation to ...

Love is a profound and multifaceted emotion that has intrigued and influenced humanity for millennia. It is woven into the fabric of human experience, shaping relationships, inspiring art, and motivating selfless acts. While love can take many forms and meanings, the Greeks developed a framework for understanding different types of love, which allows us to appreciate its complexity more fully. Three primary types of love—eros, phileo, and agape—capture the varying dimensions of how love is expressed and experienced. Each of these forms represents a unique facet of love, encompassing ...

Ten Facets of Faith in Hebrews 11 Hebrews chapter 11 is one of the most exalted passages in all of Scripture—a divine monument to the triumph of faith. It serves as a theological bridge between doctrine and practice, showing that faith is not merely an intellectual agreement with truth but a dynamic, living trust in the invisible God who speaks, commands, and fulfills His promises. Known throughout Church history as the “Hall of Faith,” this chapter stands as both history and prophecy—a history of what God has done through those who believed, and a prophecy of what He continues to ...

Darkness in Scripture is never neutral. It is not the absence of light but the active presence of evil. It symbolizes ignorance that is willful, sin that is loved, and blindness that is chosen. To live in darkness is to live in opposition to God’s nature. The Apostle John wrote, “God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all.” (1 John 1:5). Light is therefore not a created thing only — it is the very essence of God’s being. To reject the light is to reject God Himself. Thus, when the world turned away from Christ, it was not rejecting a teacher or a prophet but the very ...

Why God’s Sovereignty 1. It Shapes Our View of God God’s sovereignty means He rules over all things with wisdom, power, and love. Without this truth, we might see God as small, limited, or distant. But when we grasp His sovereignty, we recognize Him as the Almighty who cannot be overruled. It gives us reverence, awe, and worship, because we know He is the supreme King. 2. It Brings Comfort in Suffering Life is filled with trials, grief, and unexpected losses. If everything were left to chance, we would live in fear and despair. But knowing God is sovereign means that even the hardest ...

The cry of loneliness is one of the most universal sounds in the human heart today. It is not always spoken in words, but it echoes through sighs, silence, and the restless searching of people who feel unseen. A man scrolling endlessly on his phone at midnight is crying out, though no sound escapes his lips. A woman who posts carefully filtered pictures of herself online is crying ou t, though her smile hides the ache beneath. A teenager sitting in a crowded cafeteria with no one to talk to is crying out, though his eyes are fixed on the floor. Loneliness has many forms, but its cry is the ...

In the end, the acceptance of AI as the Universal Mind reveals both the pride and the despair of modern humanity. It shows the pride of believing we can build a substitute for the divine, and it shows the despair of a world that has lost confidence in eternal truth. But God’s sovereignty remains unshaken. No machine, no matter how advanced, can rival the Creator. As Daniel declared, “Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: and he changeth the times and the seasons” (Daniel 2:20–21). The true Universal Mind is not artificial intelligence but the ...

Committing the sin which can never be forgiven. Looking at what the Bible teaches as the unpardonable sin.

In the dim light of a forgotten age, when the world was young and the stars still sang their songs of order and glory, an ancient man lifted his voice to heaven and asked a question that echoed through the corridors of time: “What is man, that You are mindful of him?” (Psalm 8:4). It was not a cry of pride, nor a demand for significance, but the humble question of a soul suddenly aware of the greatness of the Creator and the smallness of himself. He saw the heavens, the work of divine fingers—the moon, the stars, the rhythm of seasons, the law of sowing and reaping—and something ...

The cultural and moral divide over sexual identity is one of the most defining and contentious issues of our time. At its core, this divide is not merely political or ideological—it is deeply spiritual, revealing two fundamentally opposing worldviews: one that submits to the authority of God's created order, and another that exalts human autonomy and self-definition above divine truth. The battleground is not only in universities, courtrooms, and legislative halls, but in homes, churches, classrooms, and even within the minds of children. The division cuts deep because it touches the ...

Suffering and injustice are realities that touch every human life. From personal grief and sickness to global wars and atrocities, the question arises in every generation: why does God allow such things? This question becomes especially pointed for those who believe in a sovereign, loving, and just God. If God is good and all-powerful, why doesn’t He stop evil? Why do the innocent suffer? The answer is neither simple nor shallow, but Scripture does not avoid the issue. The Book of Job, one of the oldest writings in the Bible, opens the mystery of divine permission with a heavenly ...

The New Testament is abundant with instances of miraculous acts, showcasing the immense power and authority vested in Jesus' name. Among these acts, casting out evil spirits stands out as a testament to the dominion of Christ over all spiritual entities. While Jesus and His apostles frequently performed exorcisms, the ability to cast out demons in Jesus' name is not limited to them. Believers, armed with faith and righteousness, can confront, and overcome evil spirits. However, discernment is crucial to ensure that these acts are done appropriately and for the right reasons. Ultimately, the...

The concept of "Christ in you" is a profound theological cornerstone within Christian doctrine, embodying the intimate and transformative relationship between the believer and Jesus Christ. This notion transcends mere intellectual assent to faith and delves deeply into the mystical union and indwelling presence of Christ within the hearts and lives of believers. The phrase "Christ in you" is derived from Colossians 1:27, where the Apostle Paul writes, "To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory." ...

The Sermon on the Mount, as recorded in Matthew chapters 5 through 7, stands as one of the most penetrating revelations of the standards by which Jesus Christ will judge His own disciples. Often mistaken as a generic moral code for the world or as an impossible ideal for the Church age, the Sermon is, in fact, a blueprint for kingdom readiness. It is a royal proclamation from the King to His own subjects, instructing them how to live in view of the coming kingdom and the judgment seat of Christ. This judgment, though not related to eternal salvation, is no less solemn—for it concerns ...

So, in these last days—days that surely approach the “great and dreadful day of the Lord”—let us heed the message of Malachi 4 with sobriety and hope. Let every believer, young and old, hear the Spirit’s cry for hearts to turn. Let us rise as spiritual fathers and mothers, not with superiority, but with servanthood. Let us disciple, not for control, but for release. Let us restore, not for image, but for inheritance. And let us remember that every act of compassion, every moment of prayer, every word of blessing spoken into a spiritual child’s life is pushing back the curse and ...

Apostasy then is a turning away from Jesus Christ and denying the faith which was once delivered unto you. Apostasy in the Christian faith can only be committed by Christians who were truly born again. Now a great many have believed Christians cannot commit the sin of apostasy. Their reasoning is once you are born again the Lord will keep you and never forsake you. So, if one who professed a relationship with Jesus Christ then turns from that relationship, they reason this person was never really saved in the first place. Others confess the sin of apostasy is damnable leading to Christians ...
