Can Christians Join the Military? War has stained every page of human history, and Christians have often stood at the crossroads of conscience, asking whether they may serve in military ranks. Some point to Scripture to justify Christian participation in war, while others argue the New Testament calls believers to a higher ethic—one that resists the sword. To answer, we must look closely at what Jesus taught, how the apostles lived, and how the early church understood this qu

Melchizedek: Priest of Righteousness and Foreshadow of Christ. Few figures in the biblical narrative are as enigmatic as Melchizedek. He appears suddenly in Genesis 14, is mentioned briefly in Psalm 110, and then reemerges with profound theological significance in the Letter to the Hebrews. Though only a handful of verses reference him directly, Melchizedek has generated immense reflection across Jewish, Christian, and even intertestamental writings.

The Carmen Christi: Christ’s Humility and Exaltation in Philippians 2. Few passages in Scripture rise to the poetic and theological height of Philippians 2:6–11. Known as the Carmen Christi (“Hymn to Christ”), this section is widely recognized as one of the earliest Christian confessions of faith, possibly a hymn sung in the earliest churches. Paul incorporates it into his letter not merely as doctrine, but as the ultimate example of humility for believers to imitate.

Book of Philippians Summary: Joy in Christ Amid Chains. The letter to the Philippians is often called Paul’s “letter of joy,” but that joy is no shallow optimism. It was written from prison, under chains, with the real possibility of death ahead. Despite those circumstances, Paul presents one of the most uplifting and Christ-centered writings in the New Testament. Philippians reveals what true Christian joy looks like: not rooted in circumstances, but in Christ Himself.

Mormonism: Another Gospel and Its Errors. Mormonism—officially The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS)—is not Christianity. It is a counterfeit faith offering a different gospel, another Jesus, and another path of salvation. The danger is not just in Mormonism’s growth worldwide, but in its recent cultural acceptance through partnerships with projects like The Chosen. What once was rejected outright as a false religion is now slipping quietly into Christian spac

Exodus Summary: Out of Bondage and Into Covenant. If Genesis is the story of how it all began, Exodus is the story of how God delivers His people—and defines them. It's action-packed. Slavery, plagues, burning bushes, miracles, and mountaintop commands. But underneath the fire and fury is a deeper message: God hears. God sees. And God sets captives free.

Evangelism: Preaching the Gospel, Not Selling a Product. Evangelism is not marketing. It’s not a PR campaign. It’s not a strategy to grow church attendance. Evangelism is the bold, loving proclamation of the good news that Jesus Christ died for sinners, that He rose from the grave, and that eternal life is available to all who repent and believe.

What the Bible Actually Says About Worship. The confession of Israel, “Hear, O Israel: YHWH our God, YHWH is One,” locates worship in God alone. That axiom remains unchanged throughout Scripture, yet the coordinates of worship—its where, when, and how—shift dramatically as redemptive history moves from Sinai’s tabernacle to the risen Christ. This chapter traces that movement, showing why genuine worship today cannot be reduced to geography, architecture, or performance.

Worry and the Christian: Scripture, Struggle, and Sanity. Worry is often misunderstood in the Church. Some treat it as an unforgivable sin. Others shrug it off as human nature. What does the Bible actually say?

Unity: The Bond of Peace or the Bait of Compromise? Unity is essential to the Christian life, but it is never separated from truth. In fact, the Bible warns that counterfeit unity — unity not grounded in the gospel — can be dangerous. The Tower of Babel (Genesis 11) is one of the first records of human "unity," and it ends in divine judgment. So what does biblical unity actually look like?

Sexual Sin: What the Bible Really Says. Few topics in the church today are as controversial—or as muddied—as sexual morality. Modern culture pressures believers to either revise or soften biblical teachings to fit contemporary values. Meanwhile, many churches avoid the subject entirely, hoping silence will preserve peace. But silence never produces righteousness.

Prosperity Gospel: The Faithless Gospel. The Prosperity Gospel promises much and delivers little. It is the message of worldly gain dressed in spiritual language, offering earthly reward in exchange for faith. Yet the biblical Gospel promises something altogether different: suffering in this life, glory in the next (Romans 8:18). The so-called "Word of Faith" movement is, in reality, a faithless gospel — rooted not in the unseen hope of Hebrews 11, but in the seen and tempora

Pride: The Sin That God Actively Opposes. In today’s world, pride is considered a virtue. We are encouraged to take pride in our work, our families, our identities, and even our sin. But Scripture tells a very different story. In the Bible, pride is always a sin.

Pornography: Defiling the Image of God. In a world saturated with visual temptation, the word pornography has become almost sanitized by frequency. But biblically speaking, its roots are profoundly damning. The Scriptures do not speak of “pornography” as a modern category, yet the sin it describes—lust, objectification, sexual immorality—is addressed repeatedly and unequivocally.

Persecution: The Cost of Faithfulness. The gospel does not offer immunity from suffering—it guarantees opposition. From Genesis to Revelation, those who walk with God are marked by trials, resistance, and in many cases, violent persecution. In a world increasingly hostile to biblical truth, it is essential to recover what Scripture teaches: persecution is not a sign that God has abandoned us—it is often the sign that we are finally following Him.

What Does The Bible Say About Patience? To follow Christ is to learn to wait. Patience is not weakness. It is not passivity. In biblical terms, patience is one of the most powerful virtues in the life of a believer. It demonstrates trust in God’s timing, endurance in affliction, and mercy toward others. Patience is a Spirit-born characteristic that opposes the impulsiveness of the flesh.

Narcissism: Self-Exaltation in a Selfie World. True Christianity is impossible while enthroned on self. This article traces narcissism through Scripture, Greek vocabulary, and modern application—showing why Christ calls us to die to self, not market it.

The Love of Money: Root of All Evils. Money isn't evil. But the love of it? According to the Word of God, it’s the root of all evils. Not some. Not most. All. And we need to stop softening what Scripture says.

Mary: Honored Mother, Not Heavenly Mediator. Mary, the mother of Jesus, holds a vital role in redemptive history. She is rightly called blessed among women (Luke 1:42), chosen by God for a unique task: to bear the Messiah. Her faith, courage, and obedience are admirable and worthy of honor—but not worship, veneration, or theological elevation beyond what Scripture reveals.

Leaving a church is never an easy decision, especially for believers who value fellowship, community, and accountability. But there are biblical grounds for walking away when the foundation of a church no longer rests on Christ and His Word.
