Question: Has God become less worthy of your love now that almost 2000 years have passed since He gave His only Son to save you? Or has He become less powerful than He was, so that there is no longer any need to have a healthy respect for Him that you should obey? Is society […]

Time to Wake Up!
There often seem to be two camps among professed believers in regard to repentance, and they are opposite extremes. One side says that we must work for salvation, or if not, that work is still required to keep it. The other side says that we don’t work for salvation and neither is anything else required […]
Subliminal Suggestion?
I saw a disturbing thing at Walmart yesterday. They had two magazines side by side. One with Emma Watson dressed as Belle and the other with the Virgin Mary.

Today I would like to share a recent post from Layout for Today. We are called to share the gospel with unbelievers, but that does not mean that we should get so comfortable with the world that unbelievers influence us more than we influence them…
Be Holy
I’d like to share my post Be Holy from a couple of days ago on Layout for Today. As believers, it’s important for us to understand that the encouragement and also warnings in the Bible to live for God, wholeheartedly devoted to serving Him, is for us. If those words were directed to unbelievers, then […]
