What The Bible Says About Anger

Last updated on: September 24, 2018 at 11:54 am By Jack Wellman

Everyone gets angry, even Jesus, but what happens when the anger is dysfunctional? Here are some great Bible verses to read when you’re angry. Be Angry I had never imagined that there was a command to be angry, but here it is, written by the Apostle Paul who wrote, “Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil” (Eph 4:26-27). Anger is good when it’s justifiable.... Read more

Practicing Pure Religion

Last updated on: September 24, 2018 at 10:35 am By Jack Wellman

Nursing homes residents live in one of the loneliest places on the planet, and many of them feel scuttled by family and society. Scuttled by Society We are a society in which people seem to be disposable, and it’s become acceptable. Abortion is one example, but, when someone reaches an age where they can no longer care for themselves, and family is not able to care for them either, they must either pay for in-home care (if they can afford...

When Worship Music Replaces Worship Of God

Last updated on: September 15, 2018 at 11:43 am By Jack Wellman

Has worshiping God been replaced by programs, music, and entertainment on stage? In some cases, yes! In Spirit and Truth Jesus told the Samaritan woman at the well that God is seeking those who will worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 3:24), but what does that mean? If we worship God is spirit only and have no truth, our worship will be vain or useless to God. On the other hand, if we worship God only in truth... Read more

Should Pastors, Preachers Or Priests Be Called Reverend?

Last updated on: September 11, 2018 at 4:05 pm By Jack Wellman

Is it appropriate or biblical to call someone reverend? Titles and Pride It’s very easy to get caught up in titles. We can be dad, mom, brother, sister, husband, wife, employer, supervisor, CEO, Dr., Mr., and so on, but Jesus was not impressed by religious titles. He wanted His followers to resist any marks of distinction among people. Jesus rebuked the Pharisees and the scribes, saying that they “do all their deeds to be seen by others. For they make...

How Gifts Of The Spirit Overshadow The Fruits Of The Spirit

Last updated on: September 8, 2018 at 5:22 pm By Jack Wellman

Every believer has at least one gift of the Spirit, but why do gifts often seem more important than the fruits of the Spirit, even though we can produce neither without God’s help? Gifts of the Spirit The Bible teaches that each one of us have a gift from the Spirit, and likely more than one gift. The Apostle Paul said, “For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though... Read more

The Truth Sets You Free Or Makes You Mad

Last updated on: September 6, 2018 at 1:27 pm By Jack Wellman

Why does the Word of God offend so many? Why did Jesus’ words often offend the religious leaders? He is the Truth Satan can’t handle the truth. That’s why he is so enraged when the Word of God is taught, preached, or studied. He knows his end is coming, and that his fate will be fast and furious (Rev 20:10), so the enemy doesn’t like to hear the truth, but that doesn’t mean people who refuse to hear the truth...

Getting The Most Out Of Your Bible Reading

Last updated on: September 5, 2018 at 1:19 pm By Jack Wellman

There are ways we can get the most out of reading our Bible. Here’s a few ways. Meditate on the Word Our church elder mentioned that meditating on the Word of God may be a lost art today. It’s one thing to read the Word, but it’s totally different when we stop and contemplate the Word. I would rather read only a few lines of Scripture and mediate on these, than read a whole chapter and not remember most of... Read more

If I Don’t Forgive Others, Am I Not Forgiven?

Last updated on: September 5, 2018 at 9:14 am By Jack Wellman

Jesus said if we don’t forgive others, we won’t be forgiven, but does this mean we’ll lose our salvation? Forgiveness The Bible teaches that “since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Rom 5:1). This means there is “now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Rom 8:1). After we are brought to repentance and faith, our standing before God changes. That’s only because it was “For our sake... Read more

Is There A Point Of No Return?

Last updated on: September 11, 2018 at 4:07 pm By Jack Wellman

Does the Bible teach that if a person rejects Christ over and over again, will they reach a point where they can’t be saved? Strong Delusion The Apostle Paul spoke about the days when many would reject the truth. Why? It would be because of “the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved” (2 Thess...

How To Be The Salt Of The Earth

Last updated on: September 4, 2018 at 2:06 pm By Jack Wellman

What did Jesus mean by telling the disciples that they are the salt of the earth? What does that mean? The Essential Mineral Salt is a necessary mineral and so important that it was used as a currency in ancient times, and it’s where we get our word “salary” from, but for thousands of years, salt’s been used as a preservative, preventing spoilage in foods, particularly meat. Biologically, humans cannot life without salt. Jesus said salt is good (Mark 9:50),... Read more
