  • Is Hell in the Bible?

    Is Hell in the Bible?
    Sep 16 2025
    While some deny the existence of Hell, the concept is present in Scripture. Hell is described as the place reserved for fallen angels and those who have rejected the Gospel (2 Thessalonians 1:9; Matthew 25:41; Revelation 14:10).

  • Does God choose who will be saved?

    Does God choose who will be saved?
    Sep 9 2025
    Contrary to some popular teaching, God has chosen that everyone be invited to the Gospel message. He wants none to perish and everyone to believe (2 Peter 3:9).

  • What is predestination?

    What is predestination?
    Sep 2 2025
    The idea of predestination (God pre-planning something) often causes debate among Christians. However, the Bible makes it clear that predestination is simply God’s secret plan (now revealed!) to unleash the Gospel on the Gentiles and not just the Jews. This becomes obvious as one examines the “we” (we Jews) and “you also” (you Gentiles also) in Ephesians. This is why predestination as a doctrine is only explained in letters written to Gentiles. The Jews already knew they were God’s “chosen people.” The big newsflash through the ministry of the Apostle Paul was that the Gentiles were being included in the Gospel invitation. This accurate view of predestination does away with the false notion of God pre-selecting some to believe and not enabling (or allowing) others to believe. It also affirms the pervasive New Testament truth that Jesus died for everyone (2 Corinthians 5:19; John 3:16) and God wants everyone to be saved (1 Timothy 2:4; John 12:32).

  • Do we have free will?

    Do we have free will?
    Aug 26 2025
    If so, what is free will anyway? The term “free will” is problematic. While we humans have the obvious ability to make choices, including the choice to believe the Gospel, we are always under the influence of something. Before Christ, we were under the influence of sin (Romans 6:20). After we are born again, we are then under the influence of righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21; Romans 6:18).

  • How do you set your mind on things above?

    How do you set your mind on things above?
    Aug 19 2025
    Colossians 3:2 encourages us to set our minds on “things above.” We do this by making the conscious decision to think truth-filled thoughts and take every idea captive to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5; Philippians 4:8-9). The more we set our minds on truth, the more we will enjoy the reality of our new identity in Christ and God’s love for us (Romans 12:2).

  • What is spiritual warfare?

    What is spiritual warfare?
    Aug 12 2025
    While some claim Satan is only a symbol, the Bible is clear that he, along with a host of fallen angels, are real enemies waging war on God’s creation. This is the meaning of “spiritual warfare.”

  • What are demons?

    What are demons?
    Aug 5 2025
    While the Bible is largely silent as to the precise nature of demons, a little analysis seems to reveal that demons are fallen angels who were cast out of Heaven along with Lucifer when he rebelled against God (Isaiah 12:12-15; Revelation 12:4, 9).

  • What is the armor of God? How do you put on the armor of God?

    What is the armor of God? How do you put on the armor of God?
    Jul 29 2025
    The armor of God represents who Jesus Christ is to us and how He is our defense against the fiery darts of the enemy. The belt of truth? Jesus is the Truth. The breastplate of righteousness? Jesus is our righteousness. Feet shod with the gospel of peace? Jesus is the Prince of Peace. The helmet of salvation? Jesus is our salvation. Sword of the Spirit (the Word of God)? Jesus is the living Word! The bottom line is that Jesus Himself is our greatest defense and offense in spiritual battle.
