Entering God’s Rest
What is God resting from? Many think that he rests from the 6-day labor of creation. Nothing is further from the truth as God cannot be tired. He does everything with a purpose. All things He did before Christ were shadows of things to come after him. Though he started with the rest from the work of creating man, he ended with the rest from the work of saving them. This rest began after Jesus uttered his last words on the cross: “It is finished.” It is this second rest that he wants you to enter with him, but you must first understand the meaning of this rest.
Parable of the Unjust Judge
Luke started out prefacing this parable with an assumption that Jesus told it in order to encourage us to pray always. My understanding is Jesus was teaching us an entirely different thing.

Enemy of the Cross
Have you heard a sermon based on the Bible quote “many live as enemies of the cross of Christ”? What comes immediately to your mind as you contemplate its meaning? I’m almost certain most Christians got it wrong.
Kẻ Thù Nghịch Thập Tự Giá
Các bạn đã có từng bao giờ được nghe một bài giảng dựa trên đoạn Kinh thánh viết “Lắm người có cách ăn ở như là kẻ thù nghịch thập tự giá của Đấng Christ”? Điều gì được gợi nên ngay trong trí bạn khi suy nghĩ về ý nghĩa của nó? Tôi chắc rằng phần lớn các tín hữu hiểu sai đoạn Kinh thánh này.
Be Ye Perfect
In Luke 14 Jesus stated that a tower builder, or a king heading toward a battle, must calculate their chance for success. Yet few who embark on the journey to God's kingdom ever pay heed to Jesus' demand for perfection as a prerequisite.
The Narrow Path - Con Đường Hẹp
Is the path narrow because of the difficulty or sacrifice it asks of its followers? Or it is only so because of the very narrowness of its definition? (Phải chăng đường hẹp vì những khó khăn và hy sinh mà người theo phải chịu? Hoặc chỉ là hẹp về định nghĩa của nó?)
Awake, O Sleeper
A popular call to backsliding believers to wake up from their slumber and bear fruit for Christ. Is the call a one time transition from death to life, or a never-ending struggle to maintain an acceptable state of wakefulness, and fruitfulness?
Kẻ đang ngủ, hãy thức dậy!
Một đoạn Kinh thánh thường được dùng để đánh thức những tín hữu sống dường như đang mê ngủ trong đời sống đức tin, gọi họ thức dậy để đem nhiều kết quả cho Chúa. Phải chăng đây là lời kêu gọi để kẻ chết thuộc linh được vào sự sống, hay lời kêu gọi kẻ sống nhưng vật vờ yếu đuối?
7 Days Until Christ Returns
A well known Bible expositor wrote a book, whose title is borrowed for this article, to help believers prepare themselves against the day of Christ's return. This article proposes a more certain, and Scripture-based, way to be ready for that day.
Why Do You Ask Me What Is Good?
Most people ponder the question “What must I do to inherit the kingdom of God?” Case in point is it is the same question the rich young ruler asked Jesus in Matthew 19:16. It's a good question, but the answer is not what most folks are looking for.
Work Out Your Own Salvation
Philippians 2:12 says “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling”, and Christians roll up their sleeves to get busy. And more than just getting busy, they do it with fear and trembling, too. This article will show that traditional interpretations of “work out” and “fear and trembling” are problematic and incongruous with the rest of Scriptures.
Repentance From Dead Works
What seems to preoccupy most Christians is the issue of sin, both of the things you should do but don't do, and of the things you should not do but you do. The same thing is also true with the majority of Christian teaching which is dedicated toward solving this perennial problem. But the key verse we're studying in this article denounces it as elementary teaching while it admonishes us to move on to maturity.
Putting Off Of The Body Of The Flesh
“In him you also were circumcised - not, however, with a circumcision performed by human hands, but by the removal of the fleshly body, that is, through the circumcision done by Christ. Having been buried with him in baptism, you also have been raised with him through your faith in the power of God who raised him from the dead (Colossians 2:11-12—NET).”
The Parable of the Ten Virgins
This article will show that traditional interpretation of this parable is far from what Jesus had in mind. The oil in the virgins' lamps has nothing to do with sins or works.

The Will of God
The question most often asked by Christians is: What is the will of God for my life? Many books have been written with the express purpose of showing readers how to get an answer to this question.
Obedience
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
The Narrow Path
Most Christians interprete the narrow path spoken by Jesus to be the path which requires self sacrifices, the renouncing of personal possessions or pleasure, as opposed to the wide path which suggests a life of ease and worldly pursuit. No, it does not mean that at all.
Justification by Faith, or Faith + Works?
Is salvation by faith alone, or by faith plus works? Do we contribute our works along with our faith for salvation?
The Law of Christ
Carry one another's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ Galatians 6:2
