Can Christians Turn Away from God?

Can Christians turn away from God after being saved? Yes, they can. Do they lose their salvation if this happens? No, they do not. Eternal life, once received, cannot be lost or forfeited. While there are consequences for turning away from God—such as divine discipline and the loss of rewards—losing eternal salvation is not one of them. Scripture teaches, “If we are faithless, He remains…

There’s an interesting verb used with both Enoch and Noah that denotes intimate fellowship—the word is “walked.” The way we choose to walk with God today is just as vital.

To Serve and See what God will do before Resting and Celebrating a big day.

Woke up this morning looking forward to what God is going to do in and through today.

Let’s explore how humility and the fear of the Lord practically and spiritually pave the…

Proverbs Daily Reflection – January 6, 2025

"These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him..." It is good to know what the Lord hates, that way we know how not to offend Him.

Proverbs 6:16-19 (KJV) “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 that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.” Reflection: In this passage, God reveals the behaviors and…

Did Jesus Lie in John 7:1–10?

This passage in John 7:1–10 often raises a challenging question: Did Jesus lie when He initially told His brothers, “I’m not going up to this festival,” but later went in secret? To answer this, we must examine the context, language, and purpose of Jesus’s actions. Context: Jesus’s Timing and Mission The key to understanding Jesus’s words lies in His explanation to His brothers: “My time has…

I Concede (Job 42:1-6, 10-17)

Let us never believe that faithfulness and devotion to God involves putting up a false front and nice polite piety.

By Bible Art Then Job answered the Lord: “I know that you can do all things    and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.‘Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?’Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand,    things too wonderful for me that I did not know.‘Hear, and I will speak;    I will question you, and you declare to me.’I had heard of you by the hearing of the…

Feeding on God's Word: The Path to Spiritual Maturity

At the moment of faith in Christ, believers know very little about God, His will, or the many blessings He has provided. Spiritually, they are ignorant babies. This is not a negative, but the reality of the situation. Prior to salvation, the soul is filled with human viewpoint, which is often contrary to God and His Word. This is why Christians are directed to renew their minds (Rom 12:1-2).…

The Truth About False Words

1 And Job again took up his discourse, and said: 2 “As God lives, who has taken away my right,     and the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter, 3 as long as my breath is in me,     and the spirit of God is in my nostrils, 4 my lips will not speak falsehood,     and my tongue will not utter deceit. 5 Far be it from me to say that you are right;     till I die I will not put away my integrity…

A Leader’s Example

As goes the leader, so go the people. The sooner godly leaders leverage this truism, the more of God’s blessing their people can experience.

Kingdom Builder.

Matthew Botelho “For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building. According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it.” –1Corinthians 3:9-10. One thing I love about our Lord Jesus is that first, He loves me and forgives me of all my sins!…

Job 6:1-13

“Then Job responded,‘If only my grief were actually weighedAnd laid in the balances together with my disaster!For then it would be heavier than the sand of the seas;For that reason my words have been rash.For the arrows of the Almighty are within me,My spirit drinks their poison;The terrors of God line up against me. Does the wild donkey bray over his grass,Or does the ox low over his feed?Is…
