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.
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?)
The Old and the New
Few Christians know that there is an old covenant and there is a new one, but even fewer really know why there are two, and know enough of their differences to experience a transformation by the renewing of their mind, a paradigm shift in how they relate to their God.
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.
Entering God’s Rest
Before Jesus took his last breath on the cross, he said: “It's finished.” So just as God rested after he completed the work of creation, Jesus rested after he completed the work of saving man. It is his will that we enter this rest, yet so many Christians do not experience it, their walk with God is still weighed down with burdens as they try to achieve what only Jesus could achieve for them, and he had already done so.
When The Son Sets You Free
Matthew 5:48 says this about God: 'Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.' Therefore, if Christ hasn't already made you perfect, when will you be? One more revival meeting? One more communion? One more Bible verse to memorize? One more soul to win for Christ? No, if you aren't already perfectly acceptable to God, you will never be.
Out Of One Danger, Into Another
Are we ever more in danger of teaching an error, than when we are combatting one? For when a teacher has the 'antinomians' in his sights, I find he often becomes a proponent of increased endeavour, talking of the 'necessities' required in a 'holy' life, instead of rather the holy inevitabilities to be expected in the regenerate.
Understanding Forgiveness
What does God's forgiveness mean to you? Does He still count your sins against you?
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.
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
Exodus 19:4-25
We've all heard of the Ten Commandments, but did you know that originally God gave His people a choice between the law and grace? When God brought the Isrealites out of Egypt, He bore them eagles's wings. In other words, he delivered them by grace. But instead of being contented to live by His grace, they wanted to live by law.
Abusing God’s Grace
Grace can be just a word to fill a part of a theology, or it can be something so precious that most are blind to it until when the eyes are opened to its wondrous life transforming power...
Missing God’s Grace
Missing God's Grace. Falling From Grace. Is your Christianity like walking a tightrope? Do you have peace with God?
Enabling Grace
Grace gives you a license to sin, or enables you to serve God?
