A quick Biblical Point

Perhaps 75% of the church believes sanctification is becoming “nicer.”

Most churched people think sanctification means becoming nicer. But "nice" can mask a lost soul. True growth begins with loving God, obeying His Word, and grasping the concept of His grace.

“Societal division does not deteriorate God’s sovereignty.” 

Societies fracture, but God's throne does not wobble. Scripture reveals a sovereign Lord whose purposes prevail through every cultural collision, political upheaval, and generational divide.

“He that fears God, fears nothing else.”

John Donne makes the point that reverent fear of the Lord frees Christians from anxiety, and roots true courage in God's sovereignty.

“Show Me Your Scars,” said the dying woman.

When a parish priest came to absolve a dying woman of her sins, she asked one piercing question: show me your scars. Only Christ, the Lamb of God, can forgive sins.

“Fading faith has nothing to do with the lack of examples of faithful people.”

Fading faith is rarely caused by a lack of faithful examples. More often, it begins in the private choices of the mind—but God still loves fading hearts.

“The greater your knowledge of the goodness and grace of God on your life…”

A Biblical Christian reflection on Matt Chandler’s quote about praising God in the storm through a deeper knowledge of God’s goodness and grace.

“The Rod and the Staff are a symbol…”

The rod and staff symbolize protection and guidance, with the cross embodying God’s justice and mercy.

“If you believe in a God who controls the big things, you have to believe in a God who controls the little things…” 

Christians believe God controls all things, providing comfort and assurance through providence.

“Our greatest fear should not be of failure, but…”

True success is aligning one’s heart with Christ and living a life of faithfulness, love, and service, prioritizing eternal values over worldly pursuits.

“Remorse and repentance are not the same thing.”

Remorse and repentance are often used interchangeably, but they are distinct concepts in a Biblical Christian worldview. Remorse is emotional regret for sin, while repentance involves a change of heart and turning away from sin.

“Suffering, then, is the badge of true discipleship.”

Christians face global persecution, yet history shows it strengthens faith. Believers are called to support and advocate for those who are being persecuted.

“Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows; it empties today of its strength.” 

Worry is a common struggle for Christians, but the Bible encourages believers to trust in God’s control and care.

“I do believe that the dominant Christian theory is that…”

Scott Adams, Dilbert creator, plans to convert to Christianity before dying of cancer. The article emphasizes salvation comes from accepting Christ, not good deeds.

“The will of God will not take us where the grace of God cannot sustain us.” 

The article explores the idea that God’s grace will always sustain believers, even in difficult times. It emphasizes that God is always present, providing comfort and guidance through scripture.

You are the only Bible some unbelievers will ever read.”
