Suffering

Answers to Human suffering  Why do good people suffer?  Who is Good?  There's 2 kinds of suffering in this life  1. Normal suffering - due to the Fall of man * Why is there suffering & how do we handle it? * Visual points on the topic *  Why doesn't God stop evil?  * Why does God allow so much suffering and evil?   * Why does He allow it  * Why isnt God doing anything? * What happened for the Fall ?  2. Christian suffering  -living out our faith in a fallen world * Understand why believers have trials, situations, temptations, troubles & persecution * To grow our faith and keep us close to God * For the cause of Christ  * Rejoycing in Christ  * From Sorrow to Joy  Remember, Jesus also suffered many things, yet stayed close to the Father and Word of God, being obedient & trusting God. So we too must do this too. See:  Grief in Gethsemane , Nathan Buzenitz  Suffering has con...

Judge Not

Image
If your entire belief system is Do not Judge & God is love, then you do not have Biblical Christianity, you follow false idolatrous beliefs of Oprah, you do  not follow   God.  JudgeNot is a judgemental judging of a non-Christian towards a Christian. You are therefore hypocritically judging and not loving. And that kind of accusation from a professing Christian is said by one with an incorrect understanding of what the Bible actually says. 99.9% of the time is used by those who never read the Bible, are not Christian, and certainly haven't studied this topic in Scripture at all.  The Bible never had verses to divide Scripture till 500 yrs ago. Jesus never said a verse nor limited what was said to a single specific verse. We need to look not only at what he said here but in the surrounding previous oand following sextion in Scripture. Likewise with the Bible being the full revelation of God to mankind... when we examine a topic we are to look at all ...

i just have faith *

A exhortations encouragement to Believers  Pt 1 Pt2 I also think 🤔  about how people default to the base setting. They put something off. One reason believers say "I believe it" or "I have faith" instead of giving an answer, is, theyre in default mode: they lack the knowledge of the Bible.... and its teaching from the church. Either they haven't attended discipleship and evangelism classes, haven't read books that are apologetically helpful and likely don't know how to share the gospel either.  But also... it doesn't mean they don't know know, they just don't know how to articulate it. What they're saying is "I have believed and trusted based on the evidence and God's Revelation, I've understood and trust in what I've learned in Sunday School, in reading bits of the Bible, but also from Sermons. I've understood it, taken it in, trust it's truth, but don't know how to explain it". So they stick with ...

Christians and politics

Resources & Thoughts around Christians in politics .  In today's politically charged climate, you may have noticed that Christians are often confused and split on how to engage with politics.  What is the proper role of the Christian in the political space?  The foundational truth to convey is that God wants us involved in the public square - and this includes politics!   And in the US, we not only have the responsibility to be involved, but the privilege of easily accessible ways of doing so.  Voting is one way of engaging with politics, and it is both a gift and a responsibility; after all, not voting at all gives tacit approval to the status quo!  Some Christians might argue that, since God is sovereign, we do not need to involve ourselves in politics.  What these believers miss, though, is that God uses means to accomplish His ends, and our involvement in the politics of our nation is one of those means .  God is advancing His kingdom in t...
