There is only one instance in the entire Bible that mentions tattoos. It’s in the Old Testament in Leviticus chapter 19… Continue reading
Our galaxy is so huge it makes the Earth look like a grain of sand next to the Atlantic Ocean, and that’s just our galaxy. The universe has millions of galaxies. Astronomers are finding planets around distant stars all the time. As of the writing of this post some 854 planets have been discovered in our galaxy and more are being found all the time. Based solely on numbers, the likelihood that life exists on other planets is pretty high.
But does the Bible talk about aliens?
Because of Genesis 6:1-8 some people think so. However… Continue reading
You had a really strange dream and are now trying to figure out what it means. Maybe you watched a scary movie before going to bed and elements of the movie appeared in your dream. Maybe you’ve been worrying about something and your concerns are manifesting themselves into your dreams. But maybe, just maybe, it’s God talking to you and He has an important message he wants to share with you.
We see in the Bible that God can use the time we’re asleep to talk to us through our dreams…. Continue reading
Among those people who don’t believe in God, many of them base their disbelief on there being no proof of God. They might make statements exclaiming that a lack of evidence proves there is no God.
But let’s take a look at the argument from the Christian point of view.
First and foremost, salvation is through faith. Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we… Continue reading
In 2006, Dr. Margaret Paul, who holds a Ph.D. in psychology, wrote an article titled “What Does it Mean to Be a Spiritual Person?”
The premise of her article is that “Being a spiritual person is synonymous with being a person whose highest priority is to be loving to oneself and others.”
She writes, “A spiritual person cares about people, animals, and the planet. A spiritual person knows that we are all One, and consciously attempts to honor this Oneness. A spiritual person is a kind person.”
However, her definition misses the point of what being a spiritual person actually is, which is ironic because she starts the article off so well by stating that… Continue reading
What does it mean to seek the kingdom of God?
Here’s a free book by A.W. Tozer called The Pursuit of God
First of all, what is the kingdom of God? It’s heaven. People who want to go to heaven, seeks it. But, as the Bible describes, in order to get to heaven we must seek God. So when the Bible says, seek first the kingdom of heaven, it means seek after God.
Anyone who knows how to read, can choose to read a Bible. An Atheist can read a Bible. An agnostic can read a Bible. Even… Continue reading

However, if you kill yourself, all your sorrows and problems will increase a thousand fold because… Continue reading
Do good people go to heaven? The answer is no. Surprisingly, however, this is good news. It’s fortunate for us that getting into heaven is not about being a good person because all of us have, at one time or another, done things we’re not proud of. We’ve stolen, lied, cheated, hurt people, talked behind people’s backs, hated them unjustly, been filled with jealousy, etc, etc, on and on…
If getting into heaven were about being a good person… Continue reading
Yes, Jesus did claim to be God, both during his physical life on Earth and, more pointedly, after his resurrection.
Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see
him, even those who pierced him; and all the peoples of the
earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen.
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who
is, and who was, and who is to…
There are two types of Christian men. Those who’ve gained spiritual wisdom through the Holy Spirit and those who have yet to do so. When it comes to dating, the ones who haven’t will pursue women based solely on outward appearance. These men will also be the ones eager to pursue intimacy.
But the men who are filled with the Holy Spirit and have gained the renewal of the mind mentioned in the book of Romans, place a woman’s appearance as merely an important second. What they seek first are spiritual qualities. Qualities that will help the man draw closer to Christ… Continue reading
