I'll Be Honest

An essential event in the Genesis creation account is the fall of man and the bringing in of sin and death to this world. We see the devil deceiving Adam and Eve to eat fruit that God had forbidden. We see the lie that he used and we can also see that he uses this exact same lie today.

The devil deceived Eve by making God look like a cruel taskmaster in her eyes. And even in our day, this is still one of his top devices in ruining souls. Do you believe the same subtle lie that Eve did? Do you believe that God is against you?

Praise be to God that He forgives our sins and that we won't have to go to hell for them. But this doesn't mean that there will not be fierce and severe consequences for our sin. God's forgiveness doesn't in any way nullify His discipline.

Confessing our sin can be humiliating to us, but it is not anywhere near as hurtful as letting our fellowship with God be hindered through our refusal to confess sin. Our desire for fellowship with God must trump any reasoning we try to create to not acknowledge our sin.

A concept that some people have difficulty with is trying to reconcile the sovereignty of God with our prayers. Does God's sovereignty make our prayers unnecessary or irrelevant?

Is the regulative principle Biblical when it comes to worship in the corporate church gathering? Many people dogmatically assert this teaching, but what exactly does this mean? And most important, is it clearly found in the Bible?

When talking with other Christians, a common question that we may ask is what is someone's testimony. How much weight should we give to someone's testimony? What if someone doesn't even have a testimony of how and when the Lord has saved them?

A person can grow up hearing the gospel a million times and yet never believe in it. They have ears and hear the truth and yet they do not truly hear the truth. This is the testimony of the son of a pastor (Michael Morrow) who was converted after his father died.

One of the biggest questions that many people are asking is how to fix the problems in this world? But what many don't realize is that they are not asking a very important question that they should ask first: How did our world become the way that it is? Man wants the cure but does not want to know the real cause. But until we find out the real cause, in vain will we seek to find a real cure.

There is a time when your heart quits trying to get to God and rests on the finished work of Jesus Christ.
