I'll Be Honest

Leonard Ravenhill was a man greatly used by God in the 20th century. His preaching came with heart searching power and conviction. His life was one of spending much time alone with God. Countless believers have been greatly impacted by his life and ministry.

The world has its definition of what it thinks Christianity should be. Not surprisingly, it doesn't resemble what the Bible and what God defines Christianity as. The world is going to have a problem with biblical Christianity, and one of it's biggest problems will be Christianity's refusal to compromise on truth.

Paul Snider, a missionary to the Korowai people of Papua, shares some valuable insight from years spent on the mission field. If any Christian is considering going to the mission field, they would do well to listen to this interview. Paul is sent from his local church Bethany Bible Church: https://www.bethanybiblemn.com He and Trevor also partner with HeartCry Missionary Society: http://heartcrymi...

Fire can not only be quenched from dousing water on it, but it can also die just by letting it sit there. The same principle applies to our spiritual gifts. God help us to not squander the gifts He has entrusted to us.

It is when the fierce winds of trials and suffering come that people often ask themselves what they really believe. What do you believe about Jesus Christ? When you are being shaken, where do you run to? Is Christ a sure foundation for you even when the bottom is falling underneath you? Or do you have to run to other things for refuge?

Legalism is something we must certainly be on guard against. But we must also be sure that we know just what legalism actually is... or more specifically, what it is not. It is not legalism to tell Christians to stop doing what the Bible tells them to stop doing.

There is nothing in Scripture that mandates we meet in one place or another. Rather we are free to meet where it works for our circumstances.

Christian don't ever forget, despite what other blessings you may see your fellow brethren receive, God is your Father just as much as theirs.

What if someone told you that your every thought from the day you were born has been recorded and will be live streamed today? And not only that, but a​ ​link to a​ ​website​ ​will be given where all of​ ​your friends and family​ ​can go and view​ ​all of your thoughts about them. How many people would be angry with you? Everyone? Would you be angry with yourself? Your thought life reveals the rea...

Ironically (and fearfully), there are many people who strongly argue for things they find in the Bible, and yet somehow their passion for their doctrine ends up leading them away from Christ.

False conversion is a major and sobering theme in the Bible. How much of a true Christian can a person seem to look like, and in the end turn out to be deceived?

If a decision you make is truly acceptable and God's will, then it will not contradict what is in the Bible. You don't have to violate God's will in order to carry out His will.

If a man and woman get divorced, the woman gets saved, and neither of them has remarried, would it be ok if they got married again? Or, does the Lord even recognize their divorce to begin with? Are they fornicating if they are intimate with each other prior to being remarried?

There is a multitude of different things that people in this world love, live for, and build their life upon, but it is all empty and vanity without Christ.

"Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts; And see if there be any hurtful way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way." Psalms 139:23-24

Some Christians see their great need to be part of a biblical church, but as far as they can discern, there's no biblical church near where they live. When (and should) a Christian pack up and move to join a local church?

When should Christians leave a church? Sadly many Christians are willing to leave sound, biblical churches just over preferences. What are the issues that are worth leaving for?

We are living in the digital age and can access so many sermons from the internet. Is it really still necessary and vital to be a participating member who shows up in person at a local church?

Jesus Christ was rejected by the Jews as their Messiah when He walked on this earth. But people are still rejecting Him today, and not only rejecting Him but rejecting Him for the very same reason the Jews rejected Him. Why would people reject Jesus Christ?

Jesus taught and promised amazing things to His disciples the night before He died. One of these amazing promises is that they would have fullness of joy that no one would be able to take away. He promised joy that would remain with them even in the midst of suffering.

One of the major ways Christ became like us was that He was able to suffer in the same ways we do. When He went to the cross, He suffered as a man in every way imaginable. And the worst part of this, of course, was His spiritual suffering from bearing our sin and being forsaken by God.

Jesus said that we would do the same works that He did and even greater works. This is a glorious promise and it’s given to every believer. But we must ask the question: what does this promise mean? John 14:12 - Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.

One of the subtle ways we sin is by showing respect of persons in the church. Do you treat the well known and gifted people in the church the same way as the struggling and unknown ones in the church?
