How to Write a Four-Part Testimony
No one else has had the unique set of experiences that God has given to you. However, many people have had similar experiences and will identify with your problems. Learn how to effectively share with others how you have experienced the power of God in your life through obedience to Christ’s commands. More…
Commands of Christ
The theme of all Scripture is to love God with all of our hearts and to love one another (see Matthew 22:40 and John 13:34). But how do we love God? And how do we know that we are loving our neighbor? Christ’s commands precisely reveal how we should love our neighbor and are also the secret to loving God: “He that hath my commandmens, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father…” (John 14:21).

Character Qualities
The Greek word for character is charakter. It is translated in Scripture as the “express image.” One of God’s primary goals for believers is to transform them into the image of His Son so that they may be a reflection of the character of Christ. Here is a complete list of 49 character qualites with their operational definitions. More…
Basic Life Principles
Every problem in life can be traced to seven non-optional principles found in the Bible. Every person, regardless of culture, background, religion, education, or social status, must either follow these principles or experience the consequences of violating them. More…
Grace and Faith
Our understanding of grace will determine our views of God and of the Christian life. Therefore, it is a favorite target for those who want to distort Biblical truth. God warns, “There are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness” (Jude 4). Lasciviousness is unbridled lust. Thus, through a perverted definition of grace, they turn grace into a license to indulge in the passions of the lower nature. More…
Interpreting Scripture (Hermeneutics)
Hermeneutics is defined in one dictionary as “the art of finding the meaning of an author’s words and phrases, and of explaining it to others.” When applied to Scripture, accurate hermeneutics would require the scholar to study the context, original language, cultural settings, and cross-references. These are all proven study methods. However, it has always puzzled me that Bible scholars who claim to follow all of them arrive at totally opposite interpretations of the same passage. More…
Understanding Rhemas
In the New Testament, the Greek words logos and rhema are both translated word. However, they are not synonyms for the same idea, but each have precise Biblical meanings. Scripture generally uses the Greek word rhema to refer to the spoken word given by a living voice and is used to describe particular messages that were given to individuals for their personal application. More…
The Power of Crying Out
God wants to demonstrate His mighty power in our world so that people will know that He is the true and living God and recognize their need for Him. He may allow crises in the lives of people so that He can fulfill the promise of Psalm 50:15, which says, “Call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.” He is anxious to deliver those who call upon Him. More…
Our Jealous God
God is jealous because He has established a covenant relationship with every believer through the death, burial, and resurrection of His Son—the Lord Jesus Christ. In this covenant relationship it is His goal to demonstrate to the entire world the marvelous things that He will do for believers who love Him with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength. More…
The Power of Spoken Blessings
The Bible teaches us about the powerful impact our words have on others and instructs us to give verbal blessings. Find out how one family applied this principle in their home and saw their seven-year-old transformed. More…
Protection Under Authority
The use of an umbrella to symbolize protection is commonly understood and accepted. In the insurance industry, an overall coverage of protection is referred to as an “umbrella policy.” In the Bible, similar symbols teach the concepts of provision, protection, headship, and leadership. More…
What is Courtship?
Courtship is experiencing the blessing of God by loving the Lord Jesus Christ and honoring both sets of parents. Its goal is to determine a couple’s readiness and to discern the will of God for a covenant marriage that will benefit the world. While the actual manifestation of a courtship relationship will vary because no two couples are alike, one of the goals and rewards is to protect the emotions of those involved until the time when it is clearly God’s will to proceed into marriage.
