Defending Mr Houdmann is not what I do, trust me. Challenging his conservative views is more to my taste. But I agree with what he said. He didn't say 'being...
The second part of communion is the part I'd like to talk about. The cup in the Lord’s Supper serves as 2 reminders: We are to look back to the shed blood of...

I'm not married and I've not yet married but with the little that I know about marriage in light of the scripture, I will try and answer this question. So...
Divorce is not the unforgivable sin. You said you received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior eleven years ago, so eleven years ago every sin of yours was...
Good question, Aranka! Can a divorced woman remarry? The only specific allowance for remarriage after a divorce is for adultery (Matthew 19:9), as you have...
To be sure that you are praying in God’s will, the first thing I think of is to say, “God, make Your desires mine.” Years ago, God inspired the following...
We must ask “according to His will” (1 John 5:14) in order to qualify. Yes, the fervent prayer of faith submits to God’s will (Matthew 6:9-10) and will be...

I don't think we realize how harmful it is to the gospel to say that Jesus didn't "literally" mean what He said about some things. Did He literally mean He...

It's not about the quality of your request to God. It's about you, me, them, trusting God to do what we ask of Him. That's the hard part. Nobody WHO KNOWS...
This is an interesting question, Iupeli. Everyone must go through the valley of the shadow of death. And it's cold. But trust the Good Shepherd's promise,...

Good articulation. The only grey area, in my view, is the assertion that faith is gift from God. This is a deterministic theological trajectory that...
I humbly submit that Jesus was referencing a righteous person who is brought before an immoral corrupted court system on falsehoods. Where the verdict has...

In the context of Jesus' words, even the best defense that human thought can devise is subject to error, omission, and contradiction. Rather than expending...
