The Bible teaches that wealth is not inherently evil, but rather it's the heart behind the actions that matters. Christians must understand the difference between capitalism and socialism, and how the Bible views wealth and giving. The book of James warns against the love of money and the dangers of wealth, but also encourages believers to be good stewards of their resources and use them to build God's kingdom. [... more]

Giving God Your Best

Jesus watched how people gave to the temple treasury, and He saw the faith, hope, and love behind their offerings. The widow who gave two mites, her entire livelihood, demonstrated a heart that trusted God to provide for her needs. Her giving was an expression of her faith, hope, and love for God, and it encouraged others to do the same. Giving to God is not just about money, but about worship and obedience to Him. When we give, we express our trust in God's provision and our love for Him and His people. [... more]

The Spiritual Forces of Evil (Part 2 of 4)

As we age, we may feel like we're no longer able to contribute to God's work, but Daniel's story shows us that faithfulness, fearfulness, and frailty are not barriers to serving God. We can be faithful and fearful, yet still do the work God has given us, even if we're not physically strong or able to see the end result. God sees our secret efforts and will reward us openly, and we should not be discouraged or think we're too old to make a difference. [... more]

The Ninety-Five Theses

Martin Luther's experience of salvation led him to re-read the Psalms and understand justification by faith on virtually every page of the Bible. This understanding was influenced by Augustine's interpretation of Romans 1, which described the righteousness of God as a righteousness that God provides for people who are not righteous. Luther's discovery of this concept led him to challenge the abuses of the Roman Catholic Church, particularly the sale of indulgences, which he saw as a corrupt practice that led people to believe they could buy salvation.

The Spiritual Forces of Evil (Part 1 of 4)

The Bible reveals that conflict in the world is ultimately rooted in a great cosmic battle between good and evil, with Satan opposing God and His people.

The faithful servant Daniel, who continued to serve God even in his old age, prayed for the people of God and sought the face of God, demonstrating his commitment to a project that would have far-reaching consequences.

Gabriel and the Seventy Weeks (Part 2 of 2)

The prophetic visions in the book of Daniel point forward to future events in history, ultimately leading to Christ's return. The 70 weeks decreed about God's people and holy city are a crucial part of this prophecy, with some seeing its fulfillment in the coming of Christ, while others believe it foreshadows events yet to unfold. The interpretation of these verses impacts one's view of Jerusalem, the temple, and ethnic Israel, with some seeing the rebuilding of the temple and restoration of Jewish worship as a future event, while others believe Jesus is the replacement for the temple, and the real temple is in the place of reconciliation.

Getting Through Giving

The principle of giving and receiving is a fundamental concept in understanding God's plan for our lives. When we give, we set in motion a chain reaction that doesn't stop, and we receive not only what we give but also more than we give. This paradox is rooted in the Bible, with passages such as 2 Corinthians 9 and Luke 6:38 illustrating the concept. By giving, we experience growth, evidence our faith, encourage others, exalt God, and enlarge our capacity to give. Ultimately, God's plan is to bless us so that we can give again, and He gives us more when He sees we're faithful with what we have. [... more]

Finding Freedom Through Slavery (Pt. 2)

The Bible teaches that we are either slaves to sin or slaves to Christ. As slaves to sin, we have the freedom to ignore anything good or righteous, but this freedom leads to the fruit of shameful conduct and ultimately death. In contrast, as slaves to Christ, we have the freedom to serve Him and produce fruit to holiness, leading to everlasting life. The choice is ours: to serve sin or to serve Christ. [... more]
