What Does Believing Really Mean?

  What does Jesus dying on the cross really mean?

We often hear about Jesus dying on the cross to save us of our sins. I’ve heard this saying over and over. But, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense when it is said just like this. It is like trying to understand the plot of a movie by watching a trailer. Sure you will get the basic idea. But, there is a lot more to be seen in a two hour movie…

I live in the United States and we are known as a Christian country. Over 3/4 of the population call themselves Christian. But, the more I speak to those who claim to be Christian, the more I question their understanding of the term Christian. We see verses like John 3:16 and even the verse above and quickly point out that we believe and therefore, are Christian. Is this…

Acts 1:6-7 ESV: So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority.”

Is now good? Now seems like a good time. Maybe in the next couple of minutes? How about now? The disciples had their own reasons for wanting Jesus…

James 4:10 – Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you.

It was my first day of high school and I was scared out of my mind. Just a few months ago I was at the top of the class. Now I was at the bottom. My new friend shared during orientation that freshman meant fresh meat and seniors were just waiting to eat me alive. I needed a game plan. This so-called buddy of mine told me…

Daniel 6:16 Then the king commanded, and Daniel was brought and cast into the den of lions. The king declared to Daniel, “may your God, whom you serve continually, deliver you!”

There are times I am ashamed of myself. Times when I take a look inside and hate what I see. I get so easily wrapped up when drama gets plastered over the news or the latest gossip in social media. Sure, I have good…

What’s In Your Feed?

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. (This is a part of a letter written to Philippi church from Paul)

Let me ask you a question. One you might not like. What is in your feed? Which pictures fill your…

Luke 4:4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’”

We have all been tempted to sin. Most of the time on a daily basis. Sometimes they are easy to avoid and you can see right from wrong. Other times sin sneaks up and what you thought was a good situation, turns quick.

The term Christian means Christ-Like and for a good reason! Christ (Jesus) showed us first hand how to…

Sunday Special Request -When to stand up and fight back?

By: Adam Rinehart

“At what point do Christians need to stand up against the wrong doings of others and fight back?”

Many of you have asked, “How do we as Christians respond now that the Supreme Court has ruled that the LGBT Community will have their marriages recognized? At what point do we take a stand up against the wrong doing of others and fight back?”   This decision says that the rest of…

Psalm 145:14 The Lord upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.

How many of us run forever without getting tired, or swim the Atlantic ocean without treading water? Zero. Often during our Christian walk, we try to test our abilities to see how far we can go before we have no choice but to look for help. It was around 8 p.m. when I decided I would skate to a friend’s house. No big…

Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

As I looked up to the heavens a few nights ago, I couldn’t help but notice the moon as it shone down upon me. With darkness of night trying to swallow me whole, the lone crescent moon tried desperately to clear a path of light as I rode my bike home. Even though…

Joshua 1:8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.

I can’t remember the last time I had a bad dream. Once I started reading the Bible before bed, nightmares rarely invade my subconscious. It makes sense too! When you fill your mind with positive, encouraging,…
