Bible Illiteracy Is Not Acceptable for Christians

Holiness Is the Fruit of Abiding in Christ
God expects holiness, and without holiness no man shall see God (Hebrews 12:14, 1 Peter 1:15). However, we don’t “achieve” holiness by our own efforts. Christ is our righteousness, holiness, and redemption. Our righteousness is imputed by him, and our sanctification happens as we abide…

Desire the Sincere Milk of the Word to Grow

The Holy Spirit, Our Perfect and Sufficient Teacher
Jesus has not left us as orphans, fatherless, or bereaved. He left us the Holy Spirit to be in us and with us. The Holy Spirit is our helper, teacher, and guide. He is a person, and he speaks and does the work he was…

God Has Chosen Us in Christ to Be Set Apart
God has chosen us in Christ to be set apart for him. We are not to be like the world. “This people I have formed for Myself; They shall declare My praise.” Isaiah 43:21 “And He died for all, that those who live should no…

Christ Is All: Our Wisdom, Righteousness, Sanctification, and Redemption.
Christ Is All: Our Wisdom, Righteousness, Sanctification, and Redemption. He alone is the BOAST of the true believer. Christ is our WISDOM, RIGHTEOUSNESS, SANCTIFICATION, and REDEMPTION. (1 Corinthians 1:30-31) There is no extra righteousness we can have or attain apart from his. We are the…

Evangelism to Children—Children Need the Gospel, Too
Children need to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ, too. They are accountable for their souls once they reach the age of accountability. They need salvation just as much as adults, and we should not neglect children in evangelism and discipleship by despising and overlooking…
