Spiritual Answers For The Real World
During the ministry of Jesus on earth, he showcased eternity as the stage of spiritual reality. Jesus said that his purpose of coming into the natural world, and his subsequent death and resurrection, was to provide a way for human beings to have eternal life. This message makes the issue of eternity critical; if there [...]
During my agnostic years, most of my doubt about the existence of God and the resurrection of Jesus Christ was based on “scientific” information I had been exposed to. It involved believing that man had evolved from the primordial ooze and that everything we see in the natural world must have a natural explanation. However, [...]
During my agnostic years I objected to the idea that unless I believed a certain thing, God, without hesitation, would reject me and blow me straight to hell where I would twist and burn for eternity. My attitude about a God who would do something like that was very negative to say the least. I [...]
If there is any area where the tendency to develop strong presuppositions exists it is theology, because theology involves supernatural realms that cannot be detected with the five senses. Thinking in terms of the supernatural opens the mind to new and unfamiliar thoughts that produce fear of the unknown. The possibility of a supernatural, moral [...]
During most of my young life I believed I wasn’t afraid of anything. When I finally identified with my fear it happened in a very simple way. A man who had faced fear, told me how it felt. He described fear as a sense of impending doom, a sense that something bad was about to [...]
The crisis point of sin occurs when reality overtakes fantasy. The great fantasy concerning sin is that it is pleasurable and does no harm. The saying, “if it feels good, do it” captures this idea perfectly. Another fantasy concerning sin is that it is a personal matter and other people are not injured along the [...]
What kind of Christianity will you embrace? Will you choose to be a busy Christian, copying the behavior of other believers, or will you turn within to know Jesus as He is. Will you allow Him to show you how you have believed and relied on the Three Holy Lies in your life? Will you [...]
Where do you seek Jesus? Do you seek Him in a church building? Do you seek Him in books? Do you seek Him in the past or the future? Where do you seek Jesus? If you seek Him outside of yourself you will never know Him as He is. Christianity is the most supernatural of [...]
Apart from Christ living in us we can do nothing. When we believe we can define truth, define God and define right and wrong we are living a life apart from Him. I’ve tried Christianity both ways. I tried being an external Christian – someone who does what they think a Christian is supposed to [...]
The wife is to be obedient and respect her husband as the spiritual leader of the home. This is a concept that modern American society has rebelled against. I’m not writing to argue the point. I merely point out that this is the role God has declared for wives. There can’t be two rulers under [...]
The Bible is very clear about the role of husbands and wives in a relationship. It begins with the role of the husband as the spiritual leader of the home. God clearly says that the man is to be the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the Church. This is a [...]
When we are not living our lives in accordance with God’s will and we are living for self in the flesh, we experience the spiritual equivalent of a beating. That beating is a sign to us that we are not living as God wants us to live and we are suffering the consequences of disobedience! [...]
People divorce when they become unhappy in their marriages and are unwilling or unable to work through their difficulties and resolve them. I don’t want to be accused of being a hypocrite on this subject, so I acknowledge that I have been divorced too. I can speak on the subject with experience. I can also [...]
It is impossible to grow spiritually unless we learn to pray in accordance with God’s will. Christianity is a relationship and relationships require personal communication. The Spirit of Christ supernaturally lives within every believer and He desires that we communicate with Him. We communicate with Him by prayer. It is our prayer that the Lord [...]
Spiritual growth requires the interactive work of God’s Spirit and we must understand that our minds must remain in today. The past is valuable because we can learn from it.
