Learning to reason with God helps us respond to non-believers when they use verses in an attempt to show us God is unreasonable, or unlovable. A friend of mine used the following verse to illustrate that God is unlovable, Deut 19:21, “And thine eye shall not pity; but...
If Jesus is some fictional character and did not die on a cross for our sins, what is the point of Christianity? Paul tells us that without the resurrection, we would all be wasting our miserable lives following a lie, 1 Cor 15:17-19, “And if Christ be not raised, you...

Jam 1:13-14, “Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.” The devil is always looking for our weaknesses, our l...
God has told us the things He hates, and lying is one of them, Prov 6:16-19, “These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet...
