The inevitable result of borrowed faith is lost faith. People born into a family anchored in Christendom tend to assume they're right with God, regardless of whether they personally turn from sin and trust in Jesus.

Ultimately I think the difference between reading the Bible and studying it is making the connections between who Jesus is and what he's done.

The truths of Christianity are constant, unchanging, and meant for all people, times, and places. But the methods by which truth is articulated and practiced must be culturally appropriated, and therefore constantly translated. If doctrine is constant and practice is constantly changing, the result is living orthodoxy.

Are you letting culture, not scripture, determine your sexuality, how you date, how you present yourself, how you engage in certain relationships with members of the opposite sex? We need to be very clear that the way we do life is different than the rest of the world.

Much of spirituality today is an effort to change God to suit us. But he's not going to become more like us, we need to become more like him.

Idols tend to be good things that you have turned into god things, which therefore become bad things

Ladies, use a loving voice, use a respectful voice, use a godly voice, but don't lose your voice.
