Do you rejoice in the Lord always? God’s Word commands us to in the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Christians at Philippi. He wrote in verse 4:4: “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!” What do you suppose those believers thought when they read those bold words? More →

“I have found the Book of the Law” was the exclamation of Hilkiah the priest. (2 Chronicles 34:15) Little did that servant of God realize what his discovery would mean for the people. More →

Do you have “the mind of Christ”? It has everything to do with surrendering rights. Total sacrifice of self is the most important principle for a Christian to apply and the most difficult to accomplish. Galatians 5:24 declares, “Those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.” This is most difficult to accomplish, yet it must be done. More →

Can these dry bones live again? Only God knows for sure if it is possible for His people to be revived. The prophet Ezekiel acknowledged this fact in his writing (chapter 37). The psalmist proclaimed that revival is of God, from beginning to end: More →

Do you really love Jesus? Scripture clearly demonstrates that there are four basic disciplines that every Christian is to have in his or her life. They are worship, prayer, study and giving. God’s Word further reveals that these disciplines are to be exercised both privately and publicly. Why? More →

God Understands. Not!

admin Blog, Confess, Erik Garthe, Excuses, Forgiveness, God, God Understands Not!, Grace, No Longer Conformed, Sacrifice, salvation, Sin, Trust 0 Comment June 24, 2019

“God understands” is a common beginning when Christians justify their sin or the sin of one of their loved ones. The fact of the matter is that God does not “understand”. The fact that Jesus Christ died on the cross is proof. When a Christian excuses sin by saying God understands … More →

How important is personal responsibility? The Bible reveals much on the subject. First, Jesus believed it. He is merciful and gracious, but He never excused individuals from responsibility. The Sermon on the Mount is all about what Jesus expects in His disciples. More →

Do Babies Go to Heaven?

admin Bible, Biblical Thinking, Blog, Do Babies Go to Heaven?, Erik Garthe, Eternal Life, Grace, Innocence, No Longer Conformed, Redemption, salvation 0 Comment June 3, 2019

Do infants who die go to heaven? If you believe they do, are you able to defend that belief from the truth of the Bible? In John 14:6, Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” Answering the question regarding the eternal destiny of those who die in infancy with an emotional “I don’t believe God would send an innocent baby to hell” may be sufficient for some people.
