Salvation Study

The purpose of this short Bible study is to examine the Christian message of the great salvation that is found in Jesus Christ alone. Please take a moment from the hectic pace of life to read these pages. From them you will gain a deeper knowledge of the holy God of the Bible and a deeper understanding of the truly heinous nature of your own sin. You see, your greatest need is to be delivered from the terrible calamity of your sin, and that calamity is death. The Bible says that, “the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Death is the...

I was the girl who ran from nightmares until Fordhurst promised me a dream. All my life, I’ve been a pawn. A bargaining chip for my family, a trophy for my fiancé. I’m not a person to them, just an asset to own and control. So when I gather the courage to flee on my wedding day, I run hard and fast, hiding in a string of small towns, hoping each one will be my last. Always running, always hiding, never seen, until Fordhurst. Until Dante. He’s a priest with a past shrouded in shadows, an enigma inked with secrets. He watches me with a gaze so raw, it’s unholy.

Have you ever wondered what the life of Jesus would look like if he walked the Earth today? Would we find him salsa dancing in a Miami nightclub, at a friend’s house playing a card game, or even lounging on a hot sandy beach enjoying a frozen Margarita? Would we find Jesus laughing at a Broadway show, enjoying a beer and a chili hot dog at a basketball game, or otherwise simply enjoying life? And if we did, would we question whether Jesus was a saved Christian? If God is not demanding our sacrifice of fun, what makes us think that we need to? Somewhere, somehow, Believers have been ...

Lexa: These feelings I have for Ben can't go anywhere. I'm the Angels Halo MC president's daughter. And he is the sheriff. For the sake of both of us, I have to keep him away. Ben: Lexa calms the rage that I've struggled with my entire life. I couldn't care less who her father is. Nothing matters but making her mine. Because my broken beauty is where my salvation begins.

In this monograph Dr. Adderley explains the confused understanding of the phrase "Once saved always saved" when juxtaposed to Jesus' threat to "Blot out his name from the Book of Life" of the one who do not "overcome."

Michael Reagan's life is much more than just an interesting story. It is a testimony of how Christ allowed him to find healing from many of the issues that confront our culture today, such as sexual abuse, divorce, loneliness, the feeling of rejection, and the belief that God does not care about us. Michael Reagan's first adoption gave him an identity, but he did not find his true identity until he found Christ.

The Bible is the wisdom of God which is not bound by time or space. As we explore Ecclesiastes we can see how it can be applied to this modern day and age. May the reader grasp a better understanding of how this book applies to us today.

Peruvian priest Gustavo Gutiérrez's 1971 book, A Theology of Liberation, provides an inspiring and groundbreaking argument as to how Christians and the Roman Catholic Church should act in support of the poor. The Catholic Church had traditionally seen itself as politically neutral. In the 1960s and 1970s, however, reformers such as Gutiérrez urged it to seriously address real-world issues such as poverty and oppression.

What would you think of one who should build a beautiful house and then destroy it, or paint a lovely picture and then tear it to pieces? Have you never thought that this is the way God is doing? He makes, to destroy. Nothing seems to long remain the same. He clothes the trees with leaves, but within a few months strips them off. He makes the tiny bud and develops it into the beautiful flower, but the flower is no sooner in bloom than it begins to wither and fade. It seems to be so with everything in nature. It starts out, grows in beauty, and then is destroyed. Why should such loveliness ...

Since the earliest beginnings of human history, people have been struggling with an empty heart. Loneliness, despair, depression, searching for meaning, angst, are all symptoms of an empty heart. God didn't create us with an empty heart. He created us to be full with Him. And therefore, only God can truly fix and fill our empty heart. How's your heart? How's the heart of those around you? Empty? Full? Jeremiah loved his country. He was a patriot of the southern kingdom of Judah to which God called him to minister. In our study we will see a man broken hearted for the empty hearts of his ...

In the autumn of 1834, New York City was awash with rumors of a strange religious cult operating nearby, centered around a mysterious, self-styled prophet named Matthias. It was said that Matthias the Prophet was stealing money from one of his followers; then came reports of lascivious sexual relations, based on odd teachings of matched spirits, apostolic priesthoods, and the inferiority of women. At its climax, the rumors transformed into legal charges, as the Prophet was arrested for the murder of a once highly regarded Christian gentleman who had fallen under his sway.

There was never anything special about me, except my father is rich and important. That's why it happened. It was just a normal Tuesday afternoon. I was 23 and thinking about my new designer boots. They kidnapped me for ransom. They raped me before I was rescued. My therapist says that talking about it means I'm starting to heal. I don't really think I am. It's even harder to talk about Gideon. He couldn't save me when it really mattered, so he keeps trying to save me now.

The recent Covid crisis has to a great extent forced the world, and us, to face something we tend to not want to face, death. The Covid pandemic (regardless about your political leanings toward it and regardless of the accuracy of the fatality figures), with its suffocating effects, has forced us to consider death. As we hear about people dying, know people who have died, and consider our own mortality and potential death (if we have tested positive), the sting of death has touched us. There is good news for us to receive. Resurrection as taught in the Bible and as it is a part of the ...
