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?

Temptation: Trials, Testing, and Triumph in Christ. Temptation is often misunderstood in modern Christianity. Some view it as merely an occasional nuisance. Others resign themselves to it, saying, “I’m only human.” But the Bible treats temptation as a deeply spiritual battleground—one that every believer must engage with intentionally, not passively.

What Is Sin? A Biblical, Theological, and Practical Treatment. Sin is more than just “doing bad things.” Biblically, sin is missing the mark—falling short of God’s holiness and will. It is lawlessness (1 John 3:4), rebellion (Isaiah 1:2), and unbelief (Romans 14:23). But it’s also deeper than behavior—it's a condition of the heart.

Scripture: The Authority and Sufficiency of the Bible. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is not just a religious text—it is the Word of God, breathed out by Him, sufficient to equip the believer, and the sole final authority on all spiritual matters. The battle over Scripture’s authority is nothing new. It has raged since the serpent’s first words in Genesis: “Did God really say…?” (Genesis 3:1, NLT). But Jesus settled it: “The Scriptures cannot be altered” (John 10:35, N

Satan: The Accuser and Adversary. Satan is not a metaphor, a mythological leftover, or a dramatic flourish added to Scripture for narrative effect. He is a real, personal being — intelligent, strategic, malicious, and ancient. From the earliest pages of Genesis to the closing scenes of Revelation, Satan appears not as a cartoonish villain or impersonal force, but as a deeply active enemy of God’s purposes and God’s people.

Sanctification: Becoming What You Were Made For Sanctification is not an optional upgrade for elite Christians—it is the evidence of genuine salvation. While justification declares us righteous before God by faith in Christ, sanctification is the ongoing process by which God actually makes us righteous in conduct, character, and desire. To separate the two is to invite a faith that saves no one.

Repentance: The Forgotten Command of the Gospel. In modern evangelical vocabulary, repentance has been quietly sidelined. While "faith," "grace," and "blessing" dominate contemporary Christian language, repentance—once foundational to Gospel preaching—is often diluted or discarded altogether. Yet, Scripture places repentance at the very threshold of salvation. The Gospel begins with it, the apostles proclaimed it, and the final chapters of Revelation demand it.

What Is Faith? A Biblical Exploration of Trust, Belief, and Obedience. Faith is one of the most used and misunderstood words in Christian circles. Some define it as mental agreement. Others treat it like wishful thinking. Still others weaponize it to manipulate outcomes, especially around healing or finances. But what does the Bible really say about faith?

What Philippians 4:13 Really Means. “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:13 is the most embroidered, hashtagged, tattooed, and out-of-context verse in the entire New Testament. It’s printed on gym bags, stitched onto athletic jerseys, and weaponized as a motivational mantra for everything from job interviews to deadlifts. But Paul was not writing about touchdowns, promotions, or personal ambition. He was writing about survival.

Faith That Obeys: Biblical Obedience. The modern church is eager to talk about grace, freedom, and identity—but becomes oddly silent when it comes to obedience. Yet the Scriptures are unambiguous: true faith is always obedient. In a culture of self-expression and autonomy, “obey” sounds offensive. But to the early church, obedience was a defining mark of faith.

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.

What the Bible Actually Says About Missions. The modern church has diluted the word "missions" into meaninglessness. In many circles, it now refers to any good deed, service trip, or lifestyle evangelism. Churches host "missions Sundays" and assert that "everyone is a missionary"—a statement that, if true, would make the actual missionary calling obsolete.

How to Choose a Bible-Believing Church: A Guide for Discerning Christians. Choosing a church isn't like shopping for a gym. It's not about which building has the best coffee, slickest branding, or most exciting programs for the kids. The local church is the pillar and foundation of the truth (1 Timothy 3:15). And that means if the foundation is cracked or the truth is compromised, your spiritual house will eventually collapse.

What Does It Mean to Be Non-Denominational?. The term “non-denominational” gets thrown around a lot these days. You’ll find it on church signs, websites, and social media bios—often paired with phrases like “Bible-based,” “Spirit-filled,” or “come as you are.” But what does “non-denominational” actually mean?

What the Bible Says About Marriage. Modern Christianity has adopted more tradition than Scripture when it comes to marriage. Many assume the Bible mandates formal ceremonies, government licensing, and church vows. Others believe that love alone, or sex alone, constitutes a marriage “in God’s eyes.” Still others attempt to redefine marriage altogether.

Marijuana Use: A Biblical Perspective. Marijuana has become a hot-button issue in Christian circles, especially with its increasing legalization for recreational and medicinal use. As Bible-believing Christians, the goal isn't to ask, "Is this legal or culturally accepted?" but rather, "Is this godly?" The Bible doesn't mention marijuana directly, but it provides more than enough wisdom to build a thoughtful, scriptural perspective on its use.

What the Bible Says About Justification. What does it mean to be “justified”? For many, it’s just a theological word—important, perhaps, but abstract. For others, it's confused with “being made better” or “trying harder.” But Scripture makes one thing unmistakably clear: justification is not about what we do—it's about what God declares.

Will God Judge Christians? Judgment is not a footnote in Scripture—it is a central, unavoidable truth. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible presents God as the righteous Judge of all the earth, whose verdicts are always true, always just, and ultimately inescapable. And yet, modern theology—especially in popular circles—has tried to soften, distort, or even erase this doctrine.
