Can My Imperfect Efforts Truly Be Good

Do I Have to Attend Church to Be a Christian
Summary Instead of asking how little we must do to be Christians, such as whether church attendance is required, believers should ask how they can fully serve the One who saved them. Christianity is a team calling. Jesus is the Head, and every believer is a vital part of His body with gifts meant to strengthen the church. Gratitude, not obligation, should drive us to gather, grow, and contribute for God’s glory. A Revealing Question I raised financial support as a staff membe

Do Good Works Earn Salvation
Summary Salvation comes only through God’s grace by faith in Jesus, not by good works, which fall far short of God’s holy standard. Jesus alone provides the righteousness God accepts. However, genuine faith always results in transformed living. Good works follow salvation as evidence of a changed heart, empowered by the Holy Spirit. Gratitude for Christ’s sacrifice leads believers to serve, love, and bear spiritual fruit, thereby proving that their faith is real. The Tension

Those who seek Him with faith will find Him, because He continually makes Himself known. Does G

These attitudes come from the sinful nature and have no place in the new life Christ gives. Through the Holy Spirit, believers can overcome them

The Importance of Knowing Jesus: A Reflection on Life After Death
Summary of Jonathan Roumie's Vision Jonathan Roumie’s vision portrays people meeting with Jesus moments after death and being asked, “Do you know me?” This challenges those who rely only on religious activity without a true relationship with Christ.

Genuine discipleship is proven by a changed life that

God's "Be Joyful Always" Tests Our Faith

Perception Is Reality

Scripture clarifies that God defines reality, not feelings or culture, and following Christ means rejecting lies and trusting His perspective over our own. Only God Defines

Is Everyone a Child of God?

Believers receive a new nature, are led by the Spirit, love others in God’s family, and become heirs with Christ, destined to become like Him forever. Is Everyone a Child of God?

The Bible on How to Overcome an Inferiority Complex
Summary A healthy self-image shapes how we live, but comparing ourselves to others feeds inferiority. Scripture shows our worth comes from God: He created us with honor and paid the highest price—Jesus’ life—to redeem us. True self-esteem agrees with God’s love, not pride or performance. We grow in confidence by obeying His Word, loving others well, and rejecting guilt, trusting His forgiveness. Our value is defined by the cross, not others’ opinions. What Is Self-Image? Self

The Finish Line Is Not the End
Summary Some claim death is the end, but Scripture says otherwise. Jesus’ resurrection proves that there is life after death and the coming judgment.
