“I don’t want to” is a saying which you should eradicate from your mind when you deal with sin and repentance.

The Period of the Judges
When we read through the book of Judges, we might think that this book is just an historical record of the Children of Israel occupying the promised land and the obstacles they faced. However, when analyzed, their experiences could be a warning to us not to do what they did that aroused God’s anger against them.
How Do You Worship?
Worship is such a basic function of Christianity that we rarely consider what it means and how to do it. What are the examples of worship in the Bible that we can learn from? As converted Christians, how does God want us to worship Him?
It Is Possible to Please God!
Our Savior, Jesus Christ, did please God, and we have His tremendous example to follow in order to attain eternal life in the Kingdom of God.
Your Christianity–Counterfeit or Real?
It is the largest of the world’s religions, and 2.4 billion people claim to be Christians! But is this the Christianity of the Bible or a counterfeit? Is your Christian faith real, or have you been deceived?
God of Peace — Peace of God
The world we live in constantly threatens to steal away our peace of mind and peace between one another. God offers us a sure path to experience lasting peace if we have the courage and faith to follow Him. The God of peace provides us with the opportunity to obtain the peace of God.
The Curse of Taxes
Christ told us to pay our taxes—to give Caesar what is Caesar’s. Paul repeats this and even says that tax collectors are “God’s ministers.” These statements must not be misunderstood. Even though we are to be subject to the powers over us, the concept of taxes is a curse. It is quite different from our obligation to pay God’s tithe. The Bible includes many warnings for governments who overtax the people. It also shows the blessing of tax relief.
A Story of Sacrifice
A young man is sent out into the world by his poor parents to seek a better way of life, only to find himself in many trials and tests, until he develops a change of heart by saving the ones he loves. Within this story there are many symbolic principles in relation to the Bible which can be applied personally and/or spiritually in our lives.
Beyond the Basics of Obedience
The 10 Commandments are the basics in the laws of God. They are the cornerstones for any true practicing Christian. Yet, Christ goes on to tell us that the 10 Commandments are not enough in terms of going above and beyond. What does that mean and what does that look like?
William Tyndale
God has raised up many people to do the work He required. One of them used to translate much of the Bible into English from the original languages was William Tyndale, a Catholic priest whose aim was to enable the common people to read God’s word in their native language. Because of doing this, he was put to death.
