A quick Biblical Point

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.

Theology is too important to be polluted by linking it to political ideology.

Jeff Hilles warns that mixing theology with political ideology corrupts both faith and politics—and distorts the gospel we're called to proclaim.

Children professing faith before they truly understand ‘Jesus is Lord’ can be an inoculation of dead Christianity. 

A child's early profession, if not truly understood, can inoculate against real faith. Here's why lordship matters.

If our selfish desires are being met, our prayer life suffers, as does our relationship with God.  

Selfish desires quietly starve our prayer life and distance us from God, but repentance restores intimacy and true communion.

God, the Creator, has every right to say, “do what I say, not what I do.”

God's right to command differs from ours entirely: He is Creator, not subject to the law He gives, so His words settle what ours never could.

We need to trust God, even when we don’t understand Him.

Trusting God isn't about having answers. It's about resting in His character when nothing adds up.

Our culture’s continued slide into unbiblical immorality has conditioned many of us to sidestep personal sanctification.  

Cultural compromise doesn't excuse spiritual passivity. Scripture calls believers to pursue holiness even as the world normalizes sin.

Lifestyle Evangelism is like General Revelation – it does not save anyone.

A godly life adorns the gospel but cannot deliver it. Salvation comes only through the proclaimed word of Christ crucified.

It’s not always the gospel that’s offensive, sometimes it’s the Christians. 

The gospel is meant to offend the proud, but too often it's Christians' behavior, not the message, that pushes people away.

 In Genesis, we have paradise lost, in Revelation we have paradise gained.

The Bible's story arcs from Eden lost to Eden restored, showing that God's redemptive plan ends far better than it began.

“We are only guaranteed our last heartbeat.”

No one is promised tomorrow. This piece explores why the certainty of death should push us toward the certainty of Christ, not fear.

The power of the pulpit should come from the Lord and not from the charisma of the pastor.

Pulpit power isn't pastoral charisma - it's the Holy Spirit working through preached truth to convict, convert, and sanctify hearts.
