It may seem like Christians are giving out medicine when they share about Jesus, and it’s easy to think, “I don’t really need that right now. My life is alright.” Part of the problem here is seeing belief in Jesus as something we can take or leave—something that might or might not help us. That’s…
Many people want to know what Bible translations are most similar to the KJV or most “trustworthy.” What you’ll find is Bible translations generally fall somewhere between one of two translation categories: dynamic/functional equivalence and literal/formal equivalence. Dynamic/functional equivalence is used in translations such as the NIV and NLT, and the process involves essentially paraphrasing…
This question is one that the church has been wrestling with for quite some time and will continue to do so, because the Bible does not exactly give a clear, explicit timeline. There are many Scriptures to consider together, mainly in the Book of Revelation mostly after chapter 5, Matthew 24, and Daniel 9. It…
Above all, it’s critical that we represent Jesus to our relatives by maintaining a relationship while also trying to share the truth (true love will seek the highest good for another person). Most people give up on one or the other. Keep loving—biblically. Sometimes, what’s difficult is that our child or other loved one has…

God’s heart is with you as you seek to encourage your children to follow God—for their sake’s and for His glory! One of the first questions that might be wise to ask is how much your children can see Jesus means to you. Sometimes people can care deeply about Jesus and live their lives for…
Mormonism is not Christian, but can appear to be. At the core, Christianity is built on belief in Jesus Christ as revealed in the Bible alone. There we see that Jesus is both fully God and fully man and is the only way to be saved from our sins and receive eternal life—by faith alone…
To understand God’s intentions for our planet, we need to look at the beginning when He set the earth and its contents in motion and at the end to see what He is moving history towards. The Bible says in the beginning, God made the earth, and it was good (Genesis 1:31). He made mankind,…
The Bible doesn’t just outright command anyone to remove the practice of slavery in all forms, just as it doesn’t speak directly against certain other practices that develop in some cultures and not others.
