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.

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.

God is Love - But What Does That Mean? God is love, yes—but love must be defined by God, not by modern emotional sentiment. In the context of 1 John 4, the apostle is speaking specifically to the church about those who know God and abide in Him. “Anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love” (1 John 4:8, LEB). This is not a universal affirmation of all people, but a doctrinal statement about those who are in Christ.

What the Bible Says About the Kingdom of God. The phrase “Kingdom of God” appears throughout the Bible, especially in the words of Jesus. And yet, few doctrines are as misunderstood. Some reduce the kingdom to heaven—something far off, after death. Others treat it as entirely internal, spiritualized into emotion or personal peace.

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.

Jesus: The Son of God and God the Son. This is the most important question in human history. Some call Him a prophet, others a good teacher, and some say He was merely a revolutionary. But the Bible is clear: Jesus is God in the flesh, the eternal Son, the promised Messiah, and the only hope for salvation.

What the Bible Says About the Image of God (Imago Dei)What does it mean to be made in the “image of God”? That phrase—Imago Dei in Latin—has fueled centuries of theological reflection. But for many today, it has become little more than a vague compliment: “You matter.” While human dignity is central to this truth, Scripture’s doctrine of the Image of God is far more profound, stretching from Genesis to Revelation and shaping our understanding of creation, sin, salvation, and

Idolatry is not ancient history. Though few today bow to carved statues, the human heart remains no less prone to misplaced worship. In fact, idolatry may be the single most common theme in Scripture—and the most underestimated sin in the modern church.

In a world of fluffy clouds, cartoon devils, and well-worn clichés like “heaven gained another angel,” it’s no wonder confusion about the afterlife is rampant. Pop culture has shaped much of what people believe about heaven and hell, but the Bible tells a far more compelling—and sobering—story. This article offers a deeply biblical, non-denominational explanation of heaven and hell using Greek and Hebrew definitions, Scripture in context, and no theological fluff.

Are Rebukes Pastoral? In every generation, some believers recoil at strong rebuke or forceful correction from pastors and teachers. A common objection sounds spiritual on the surface: “You’re not Jesus or an apostle. You don’t have authority to speak that strongly. You need to be more ‘pastoral.’”

There is no biblical warning more frequent in the New Testament than the warning against false teachers. This isn’t just an occasional cautionary tale; it is the very context into which much of the New Testament was written. Jesus warned about them explicitly. Paul named names. Jude devoted an entire letter to them. Peter said they were coming. John wrote to expose their denial of Christ in the flesh.

Predestination is one of the most misunderstood—and misrepresented—doctrines in Christian theology. Does God choose who will be saved in advance? If so, do we really have free will? What about those who never hear the gospel? Is God unjust? These are not just philosophical questions—they’re deeply personal ones. They strike at the heart of how we understand God's character and how we respond to His calling.

Confession. For many Christians, the word "confession" conjures images of dark booths, whispered sins, and clerical absolution. While that’s the legacy of post-medieval Catholicism, the Bible presents a richer, more relational view.

The Bible does not separate Christ from His Body. It doesn’t present church as optional, antiquated, or replaceable by livestreams. Church attendance isn’t a religious habit—it’s a biblical command, a spiritual necessity, and the context for nearly the entire New Testament.

What The Bible Says About Baptism. For many Christians today, baptism has become little more than a symbolic ceremony—an occasion for celebration, a tradition to be checked off the list. In some churches, it is treated as an optional milestone rather than a central act of obedience.

The English word atonement comes from the phrase “at-one-ment”—a reconciliation or reuniting. It refers to the act by which sin is covered, guilt is removed, and peace is restored between God and man.

Assurance is one of the most vital and most misunderstood aspects of the Christian life. Nearly every believer, at some point, has wondered: How can I be sure that I am truly saved? For some, this question feels like a sign of weak faith or spiritual immaturity. For others, it becomes an unending source of anxiety, overshadowing the joy of walking with God.
