Romans 10:9-10
Reading Time: 4 minutes With June being, “Pride” month, I got to thinking, what does God teach us about Pride? Proverbs 8:12-14 I, Wisdom, share a home with shrewdness and have knowledge and discretion. To fear the LORD is to hate evil. I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct, and perverse speech. I possess good advice and competence; I have […]
Reading Time: 4 minutes Alissou, a Christian from Lagos Nigeria asked; “Is it good to pray against enemies?” What a terrific yet direct question, Alissou asked. The answer to this question directly affects every Christian… even me. To put it more distinctly: Should Christians pray against those persons (people) who say and declare that they are Christians enemies (i.e., […]
Reading Time: 4 minutes Bisi from the Nigerian state of Lagos asked a wonderful question; “What is God’s favor?” Earning God’s Favor To many people, receiving God’s favor is something that they think must be earned by them. These people believe that they have to do something in order to receive God’s favor… that they have to do lots […]
Reading Time: 8 minutes @AsmodeusDemon in Twitter tweeted to me concerning my article; “Did Jesus die for our Sins or did He just Die?” the following: “He didn’t do either given he knew he’d be resurrected. And also because he simply never existed.” Most likely is that @AsmodeusDemon didn’t even read the article I wrote which he/she replied. If […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes Romans 1:20-22 shows us examples of proof of God’s existence: For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes Stephen via email asked me a great question; “Why should we forgive people?” In short, the Bible instructs us to forgive as the Lord forgave us: Colossians 3:13 Longer answer: God helps us grow in maturity and wisdom and heals us when we forgive. When you release the wrongdoer from the wrong (when you forgive […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes Muragwa from Rwanda in email asked me to explain God’s forgiveness to him. God forgiving us, comes through His love for us and is by His amazing mercy and grace! All sin (our knowingly choosing to do something we shouldn’t do and our knowingly choosing not doing something we should do), no matter how “small,” […]
Reading Time: 16 minutes Derrick sent me the following questions in email: I have a question about God, the Bible, Faith, and/or how to be Saved I’m struggling with my faith. All of my life I’ve been told that Jesus is what I should believe and not to question it. But it’s hard to not question things with a […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes I cannot fathom that God is non-existent due to the abundance of evidence supporting His existence i.e., laws of logic, physics, gravity, the universe, all life, etc. AND above all, the personal relationship I have with Him. Everyone who fathoms the universe created itself (i.e., Stephen Hawking) and life created itself (i.e., Richard Dawkins) are […]
Reading Time: 4 minutes George from Sierra Leone asked me a great question in email; “What are the differences between holiness and righteousness?” Holy is ontologically “separate”. Clean is ontologically “appropriate for cult”. Righteousness is “appropriate in covenant”. Uncleanness and sin remove the appropriateness for cult and covenant. Purification sacrifice recovers for holy and clean, and for humans also […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes Tomiwa in email from the United Kingdom asked me, “How can I know the plan of God for my life?” This is a question many people think of yet per apathy often don’t follow through on finding out the answer. I’m glad that Tomiwa asked. Our Lord surely intends us to have, and readily to […]
Reading Time: 5 minutes Lydia from the United Kingdom asked me in email, “How can I be born again? Is it by something I sing or put on?” The Bible tells us in Ephesians 2:8-9 that “It is by grace (God’s gift) we have been saved and not by works (human effort).” Which goes to help answer Lydia’s question […]
Reading Time: 13 minutes @mrscientist on Twitter asked me a great question, “Do you worship the one true [G]od who lets babies suffer with bone cancer?” This great question is the type of question common among people who either want to really know God and among people who want to smear God. Since @mrscientist told me that he would […]
Reading Time: 4 minutes Andrew from Tanzania asked me in email, “If Jesus was really God, why did He not protect Himself and allow Himself to be put on a cross and die on the cross?” The question Andrew asked is a great question because at first thought, why wouldn’t someone who is extremely more powerful than the ones […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes Will I die? Everyone asks themselves at some point in their life. Surveys show that One out of every One person dies. The better question everyone should ask is; When will I die? Because everyone will die; it’s just a matter of time for you die. Your time could be up before you finish reading […]
Reading Time: 4 minutes Martinho in email asked me a really great question: “If I have repented my sins, accepted Jesus as my Savior and pray that my sins will end, will I stop sinning?” You and I (and everyone else) sin. Sin is a term used in archery meaning, missing the mark. We sin when we chose to […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes Jinnette in email asked me; “What does salvation mean thoroughly? Such a great question and one I’m sure many other people out there want to know the answer to as well. I hope the answer below helps Jinnette and you understand what salvation means. When God created everything, He said it was good (Read Genesis […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes Victoria in email asked me, “What does it mean, ‘Whose path are you on?’” What a great question! Basically there are only two paths a person can chose to be on; one path goes towards God and the second path goes away from God. Jesus boldly claimed, “I am the way, the truth, and the […]
Reading Time: 4 minutes Atheists cannot account for the laws of nature (even though atheists agree that they must exist), for such laws are inconsistent with the atheist’s naturalism. Yet the laws of nature are perfectly consistent with the Bible. We who believe in God’s Word expect the universe to be organized in a logical, orderly fashion and to […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes Most atheists and some people who claim to be a Christian, insist that being a Christian is about following a set of rules. Their claim is that by religiously following a set of defined rules/laws/commandments/etc. that is what being a Christian is. Well, these people have obviously not read the Bible and what being a […]
Reading Time: 4 minutes For a few years @FlyingFree333 has been following me on Twitter. And he has asked a few good questions about God and the Bible which I’ve answered for him either in Tweets and/or here on my blog and YouTube. Yet @FlyingFree333 has taken to RT’ing some of my tweets out of context. He has even […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes Atheists insist that morality is subjective personal and that there are no absolute moral standards.

Reading Time: 4 minutes Current as of June 23, 2014 Mariam Ibrahim, 27, refused to renounce her Christian faith in Sudanese court in May 2014, prompting a Muslim judge to sentence her to hang for apostasy.
