What Is The Word of God?

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has...

The Prayer of Faith

Outline and Notes from Charles Finney’s Lectures on Revivals of Religion I propose to show: 1. Faith is an indispensable condition of prevailing prayer 2. What is it that we are to believe when we pray 3. When we are bound to exercise this faith, or to believe that we shall receive the thing we ask...

What Does The Bible Say About Hell?

“But I will warn you whom to fear: fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him!” (Luke 12:5, New American Standard Bible) Hopefully you’re like me and you’re not given to a constant fixation on this place or this reality....

Speaking in Tongues — Is it The Initial Evidence of Holy Spirit Baptism?

by Stevie B Recently, Dave Edwards and myself recorded a podcast on this very subject.  This entry will probably post on Fire Press before or around the same time I’ve finished editing and publishing the episode to our podcast feed.   The reason I am posting this is because I’d like to share...

New Life in Christ, part 4

In Ephesians, we have been looking at living a new life in Christ. We now come to verse 22 which is where Paul gets into the “how to” part of this experience. He expounds on what it means to come into relationship with Christ and what true conversion looks like. Sadly, today conversion is seen as…well,...

New Life in Christ, part 2

In my previous study article, we looked in depth at the seventeenth verse of chapter four in the letter to the Ephesians about not walking (patterning our way of life) after the Gentiles (those who do not know God) who walk in the futility of their minds. I would like to continue expounding on this...

His Appearance “For Us”

“For Christ did not enter a man-made sanctuary that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence. Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his...

The Bride That Wasn’t All There…

Have you ever been to a wedding where only part of the bride was there? Maybe even most of her? But she forgot a hand or another body part at home? I don’t think I have. A few weeks ago I was in Notre Dame Basilica in Montreal, Canada. It was an unbelievably beautiful church cathedral with incredible...

Can Christians do Yoga?

I love running. Over the past year I have really enjoyed learning how to run, running and all the benefits that come with it. One thing that I noticed is that it’s a great way to get rid of anxious thoughts and other emotions of turmoil. When you run for an hour you get a lot of time to think through...

To The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

I wanted to look into things myself. I didn’t want to write off a whole people without looking in their eyes and Scriptures myself.  I believe many are guilty of this.  We were told to “stay away” and we never really know who you are or what you stand for.  So I dove in to the scriptures and...
