A quick Biblical Point ( < 600 words )

Life is full of compromises on this side of the grave. Not true on the other. 

Every believer lives with compromise on this side of the grave, but heaven allows none. Here's what that means for how we live now.

Relational is different from factual knowledge of who God is.

Brent James reminds us that knowing facts about God isn't the same as knowing Him personally through faith, trust, and obedience.

Faith is more than a cold metallic assent. 

Faith isn't cold agreement with facts about Godu2014it's trust that reshapes the heart, the will, and the way we live each day.

Atheism postulates that man has sufficient knowledge to categorically state that there is no God. What world religion has more faith than that?

Atheism claims certainty that no God exists - a claim faith itself can't prove. Explore why unbelief takes trust too, not just reason.

The term “Secular Biblical Theologian” (of which there are many) is an oxymoron.

Secular Biblical Theologian is a contradiction: real Biblical theology submits to God's authority, something secularism refuses to grant.

God wrote the two tablets with His own fingers. If God took pains to write — well may we take pains to read! 

God carved His law in stone with His own fingersu2014Thomas Watson insists our reading should carry that same weight of careful diligence.

We are too quick to apply sinful human morality as a measuring stick for an all-knowing God.

We judge God by broken human fairness. Scripture says His ways and thoughts run higher than ours ever could.

Science should be the window that opens one up to the complexity of God.

Science isn't a rival to faith - it's a window into the vast, intricate mind of the God who spoke the universe into being.

Close obedience of God is still failure.

Saul's near-obedience cost him the kingdom. Scripture shows that partial compliance with God's commands is still open rebellion.

Evangelism – a focus on the joy of Heaven rather than the fear of Hell. 

Real evangelism leads with the joy of Heaven, not just the fear of Hell - because the gospel is good news before it's a warning.

Of the 117 Billion Who Ever Lived on the Earth, None Have Been Lost (John 18:9)

Jesus promised to lose none the Father gave Him—a promise of eternal security for believers, not universal salvation for all.

If you love money you will use people. If you love people you will use money. 

Jarrod Scott's quote cuts to the heart: love money and you'll use people; love people and you'll rightly use money instead.

Those who limit their theology to “love thy neighbor” blend in with society, but not with Christ.

Real faith doesn't stop at kindness. It confesses sin, bows to Christ's lordship, and proclaims the whole truth of the gospel.

It’s peaceful to remain theologically stationary, with the Creator, as mankind rotates around changing cultural norms.

Jeff Hilles reminds us that true peace comes not from chasing cultural trends but from standing fixed on the unchanging God.

One cannot truly understand the concept of “Faith”, unless they already have it.

Faith cannot be argued into someone from the outside; it is known from within, and real belief always precedes real understanding.
