How Can I Be Saved? Today, we’re discussing the most crucial topic in the world. The most important question in the world is: “What must I do to be saved?” Most people are indifferent to this question and never give it a thought. They only think about: “What must I do to get rich?” “What…

My husband has been called to pastor two hurting churches, and both times, when our family arrived, we were met with believers who were in a state of confusion, anger, and sadness. The situations in each congregation were intricate, involving a series of challenging events that often remained unresolved. These congregation – wide issues compounded…

Every day, an elderly man makes his way down my street. His head protrudes forward on a slender neck, his back is bent with the weight of years, and his feet seem to shuffle rather than take proper steps. In his hands, he holds two small weights, and with his forearms at right angles to…

In 1970, when I became a Christian at Bucknell University, the small InterVarsity group I joined had only 5 to 15 people attending at different times during my first two years there. Then, during my junior and senior years, the number of attendees suddenly increased tenfold, and many people were converting to Christianity. This was…

Read“And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” Suddenly, a vast host of angels joined the first angel, praising God and proclaiming, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!” (Luke 2:12–14)…

The Bible has numerous critical statements about “works,” particularly “works of the law.” Paul repeatedly emphasizes that we are justified through faith in Christ, not by performing works of the law. Salvation “is not of works, lest anyone should boast” (Eph. 2:8, NKJV). However, “good works” are a different story. According to my search in…

Some people reading the title of this article might be puzzled as to why anyone would even pose such a question. “Of course you can! How else can you spread the gospel?” they might think. For Christians who believe in general atonement, the idea that Christ died for every individual in the same manner, this…

At first sight, the conversation between Abraham and God in Genesis 18 might seem like one of the most peculiar stories in the Bible. Abraham bargaining with God over the destruction of Sodom, and God negotiating the terms of judgment with a mere mortal? It’s a narrative that I wouldn’t have dared to fabricate.Upon further…

I recently delivered a sermon on Jesus’s most revolutionary ethical principle: “love your enemies” (Matt. 5:44). This teaching is like Mount Everest among ethical instructions, earning respect from both Christians and non – Christians alike. However, due to our modern understanding of love, it’s easy to misinterpret what Jesus really meant. So, what did Jesus…

One of my favorite songs is “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Tears for Fears. Beyond being a great example of 80s music, it touches on a profound truth. Think about something like the human desire to climb mountains, essentially “dominating” parts of the natural world. Over the past six decades, thousands of people…
