How to properly fear God.
Most Christians are good at fearing God. We see him as a stern Father, who is pleased with us when we are good, and is ready to serve up quick and severe punishment when we sin, or are out of line. This is perhaps one of the biggest stumbling blocks that prevent us from receiving …
The wages of sin is Death.
Daily we sin, and daily we are forgiven. Daily we fall, and daily we are lifted up. Daily we come short of the mark, and daily we are helped and guided toward it. Lets remember that each day, a born again Christian, is washed clean by the blood of our Lord Jesus. None of us …
Why did God respect Abel’s offering and not Cain’s?
The Bible says God had respect to Abel’s offering of the firstling of his flock, but had not respect to the offering of Cain when he offered the fruit of the ground. Why would God make such a distinction? It might appear as if God is not just, and arbitrarily chooses to have respect or …
Does God reward our good behavior, and punish our bad behavior?
I still find myself, at times, stumbling over that stumbling stone, the grace of Jesus. Why would a Christian say such a thing? A Christian can backslide by abandoning his or her morals, and getting caught up in the world, and the lust of the flesh. A Christian can also backslide by abandoning the righteousness …
God is not punishing sinners at this time.
God is not judging and condemning people or nations for their sins at this time. I recently heard a preacher on the radio state, if God does not punish the United States for its sins, he owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology. People and nations seem to be sinning more openly and brazenly then ever, …
Can sin seperate us from God?
Sin separates man from God. Can a born again Christian, a son or daughter of God, be separated from God by sin? Jesus said he would never leave us or forsake us. Hebrews 13:5. God will never turn his back on us, but we can turn our back on him. When we sin, we are …
How does God correct us?
How does God correct his Children? Does God correct us by punishing us with physical, emotional or financial trials and adversities? Are sickness and disease, trials and tribulations, God’s way of helping, and correcting us, if and when we go astray? Psalms 103: 13Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them …
Judging others.
I like to think that I’m not a judgmental person. But that is what I would like to think. Thinking something, and being something, are entirely different. I also would like to think that I’m a good person. That in the light of God’s word, doesn’t seem to be working so well either. God loves …
Haiti earthquake and God’s wrath.
Is God punishing Haiti by sending an earthquake to their country? I have heard this proposed already by religious leaders, who should be ashamed of themselves. Rom. 3.23 states, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” We all deserve to die, ” For the wages of sin is death, but …
Did God create hell?
Did God create a hell, where sinners are punished for all eternity ? “God is love,” 1 John 4.8, would it make sense for a God, who is the very definition of love to create such a place? In Genesis, God created the heavens and the earth, and he looked upon his creation and, “behold, …
