Do intriguing questions about God’s Son keep you up at night? You’re not alone. The truth of God having a Son predates Jesus’s birth in Bethlehem. The Old Testament is sprinkled with divine appearances, hinting at this celestial Son, sometimes referred to as the “Angel of the Lord.” Imagine being Abraham, about to sacrifice Isaac, when you’re stopped by an angelic intervention—a foreshadowing of a far greater sacrifice yet to come. These events not only illuminate their relationship but herald prophecies spoken centuries before Jesus. [...]

“God is love.” It’s a phrase we’ve all heard, but what does it actually mean? Many modern interpretations lean on emotions or psychology, yet God’s love, as defined in Scripture, is deeply rooted in His moral standards. The Biblical love definition isn’t just about warm feelings—it’s about actions and truth.
John 3:16 reveals that God’s love sent His Son to guide us toward eternal life through His ways, not ours. But how many churches today veer off-course, justifying sins instead of correcting them? This echoes the warnings of Jude about the apostate church—a message that’s eerily relevant today. [...]

There was a time when coal powered almost everything in America. From the factories to the railroads, it was the backbone of industry. Fast forward to today, and the story couldn’t be more different. Declining local production, increased imports—yes, even from China—and a spotlight on environmental hazards have dramatically shifted coal’s role in the U.S. economy. [...]

What does it mean to call Jesus the “Word of God”? It’s not just a poetic title—it’s a statement of identity, purpose, and power. Jesus didn’t just bring a message from God. He is the message. Throughout Scripture, we see Jesus as the living, breathing voice of God, speaking truth and revealing the Father’s heart. From prophecies in the Old Testament to His role in creation, His voice resonates throughout history. Could it even be that Jesus walked with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, showing His desire to be near us from the very beginning? These questions lead us to explore how Jesus, the Word of God, has always been communicating with and guiding His people. [...]

From ancient commandments etched in stone to the moral debates of modern times, people have long wrestled with laws that conflict with God’s will.

Michael the Archangel stands out as one of the most fascinating figures in Biblical narratives. Known as a warrior and protector, many wonder—does he defend only Israel, or does his role extend to all Christians? Angels, in general, are powerful spiritual beings with specific purposes laid out by God. But did you know they have free will? The Bible gives us glimpses of both their obedience and the consequences when their free will takes a dark turn. [...]

Why are Christians persecuted so fiercely? From ancient Rome to places still hostile to Christianity today, followers of Jesus have faced brutal consequences for their faith.

Countries with staggering levels of persecution, as found in detailed reports, reveal patterns of intolerance rooted in political, cultural, and spiritual factors. [...]

When it comes to understanding an antichrist, the Bible leaves no room for mystery. From the writings of the apostles, we learn about false teachers who stray from truth and embody a spirit directly opposing Christ. The term “antichrist,” originating from the Greek antichristos, means “against Christ” or “in place of Christ.” In modern times, this truth remains strikingly relevant, as societal influences and organizations can distort or reject Jesus’ teachings. Recognizing these deceptions isn’t just about identifying individuals or groups; it’s about guarding faith and staying close to the Gospel. To understand how these forces impact the world and faith today, clarity is key. [...]

The phrase doctrines of demons might sound like something out of a horror story, but the Bible takes it seriously—and for good reason. These doctrines are false teachings created to lead people away from God’s truth. They show up in surprising ways, from social norms that normalize sin to spiritual beliefs that ignore Heaven, Hell, or even the devil himself. The Bible warned us about these deceptive ideas, especially in the last days when many would crave teachings that tickle their ears rather than bring truth. [...]

The idea of the millennial reign of Christ has stirred curiosity and debate among Christians for centuries. While Revelation 20 paints a captivating picture of this 1,000-year period, opinions differ on who qualifies to reign with Christ. Will all Christians participate, or is this reserved for a select group? The Bible tackles these questions head-on, offering clear criteria for what it means to truly overcome. Can anyone who calls themselves a believer join in this reign, or are there traits and actions that set Overcomers apart? Dive in as we explore what Scripture reveals about this profound promise—and what might disqualify someone from sharing in Christ’s reign. [...]

The Trinity is one of Christianity’s greatest puzzles—a divine mystery that even theologians can’t fully crack. Is God three distinct Persons in one, or one God presenting Himself in three forms? Different Christian denominations have attempted to explain it, each offering their unique take. But, let’s be real—none of us can fully grasp God’s infinite nature with our finite minds. Still, the Bible gives us key clues about the roles of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. [...]

Baptism is one of the most debated subjects in Christianity, often tangled in misconceptions. Some believe it’s essential for salvation, while others see it as symbolic. Across different Christian denominations, preparation for baptism can vary, creating further confusion. And in other religions, the meaning of baptism shifts entirely. In the Bible, baptism reflects faith in Jesus, not a pathway to redemption. Yet, why does this simple act hold such weight, even dating back to John the Baptist and Jesus Himself? Let’s clear up the confusion, using Scripture to set the record straight. [...]

What does it mean to truly know you’re a Christian? It’s not just about belief—it’s about a relationship. A relationship where you know Jesus is God, the one who sacrificed Himself to rescue us from sin.

Let’s dig deeper into what sets Christianity apart—its foundation in knowing that Jesus has always been God. [...]

Mormonism and Christianity might share some names and symbols, but they’re not the same. Mormonism, founded by Joseph Smith in the 1820s, began with his claim of a vision where God and Jesus supposedly appeared to him. This vision laid the groundwork for Mormon beliefs, which sharply diverge from Biblical Christianity. For instance, Mormon doctrines often contradict essential Biblical teachings about salvation, Jesus, and even God’s nature. [...]

Yet, within each one of us lies the potential for good. Jesus told us in the Bible faith amazes Him, but I never realized until today when He told me that our desire to do good and overcome our love for evil also amazes Him. [...]
