A fellow Christian and I were discussing the coronavirus chaos recently. He said he was trying to figure out how much of the mainstream media reporting on it was true, how much was half true and how much was far from true. “It’s so difficult to know who to believe,” he said. “I don’t know …

Religion is The Devil’s Masterpiece
A young man wrote and told of his negative experiences in a church. One such experience was his exclusion from a teen camp because of his recent facial piercing. More: “Every time I walked in those doors I felt judged.” Making the decision to leave that place at the age of 16, his feelings were confirmed …
Get Real with God and He will Get Real with You
Even though they were in captivity because of their acts of rebellion and idolatry, through His prophet Jeremiah, God told the Jewish people that His thoughts towards them were thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. They had some conditions to meet before they could inherit the glorious …

Get Away from Religious Impostors
Question: What is it churches endorsing same-sex marriage, transgenderism and interfaith have in common? Answer: they are all walking a road they believe takes them to heaven, but the reality is it takes them to hell. It matters not the number of arrow-pointed signs marked “Heaven” on that road, hell is where they’re headed and …
“I think” The god of Self-opinion
In a discussion on good versus evil, most of the participants agreed with the host’s motto: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Whilst not disagreeing, the Christian Bible teacher among them reminded the group, “There’s another one before that,” You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all …
Somebody’s Spiritual Football
For a few weeks now on this blog I have been making mention that many truth-seeking, truth-loving Christian people will need to prepare themselves to experience separation from their much loved denomination or fellowship. As it is presently, however, there are lots among them who disagree with this suggestion and have the Scriptures to back it up – especially Hebrews …

Ah yes, but the Bible………
A middle-aged church-going man asked me, “Why is your church marketing itself like a business?” I replied by informing him that rather than “marketing” ourselves, we were in fact, fulfilling the biblical command of Christ, who told us “go” not “come.” In other words, our commitment was to go and tell people about Jesus Christ and what He has …
Are my prayers helping her?
Some church denominations combined for the purpose of promoting television messages which asked questions about death. They were thirty second spots asking something like, “What happens after death?” and, “Where do we go when we die?” As a result of that promotion, many people rang a church in their local area seeking further information or …
Why do you always quote from the Bible?
One day I rang the door bell of a home and when the two men who answered the door learned the reason for my visit, one said, “Just a moment please.” With that they briskly walked back down the hallway calling the name of another person inside. I distinctly heard the words, “There’s someone who …
