The Intended Purpose Of God’s Law

Last updated on: July 18, 2018 at 6:14 pm By Jack Wellman

Why do the Ten Commandments get so little attention in preaching and evangelism? What Must I Do? What was the intended purpose of God’s Law. Let’s begin with a rich man came up to Jesus and asked, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do... Read more

Last updated on: July 16, 2018 at 8:01 pm By Jack Wellman

What’s changed in the proclamation of the gospel in the last hundred years or so? It’s the presentation of the gospel that’s changed. Come into my Heart What’s happened to the presentation of the gospel? Where have repentance and faith gone? What about Jesus’ saying, “whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it” (Matt 16:25).

I’m Saved, So Why Do I Still Keep Sinning?

Last updated on: July 16, 2018 at 2:34 pm By Jack Wellman

Why do some believer’s struggle with overcoming sin more than others? Why do we keep sinning after salvation? Our Nature It is human nature for us to sin. If you took a fish out of the water, they’d be out of their environment because they’re not capable of surviving without being submerged in water. That’s the way fish were created, so it’s their nature, but it’s also our nature to sin, even when we know what it’s wrong. After a... Read more

The Consequences Of Obedience And Disobedience

Last updated on: July 9, 2018 at 2:53 pm By Jack Wellman

There are consequences for every action, both good and bad, just as there are consequences to obeying or not obeying God’s law. Blessings and Curses It could not be clearer that obedience blessings us while disobedience brings curses or negative consequences. There are only twelve verses in Deuteronomy that outline the blessings that come from obedience (28:3-14), but there are sixty-five verses where curses are the result of disobedience (27:15-26; 28:16-68). [1] Although God has determined to save Israel because... Read more

Hay, Wood And Stubble

Last updated on: July 9, 2018 at 12:28 pm By Jack Wellman

The Bible says that our works may be burned up as hay, wood, and stubble, and only those things done for Christ alone will pass through the fire. Knowing Christ When Jesus was speaking to a large crowd, He wanted to make sure that they not only listened to His words, but they did what He said. For example, Jesus warned that “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who... Read more

What Is The Book Of Life And The Book Of The Living?

Last updated on: July 8, 2018 at 8:08 pm By Jack Wellman

The Bible mentions the Book of Life, but what is it? Who’s in it and who’s not and how do you get in it? Two Books of Life? The Bible mentions a book of life or a book of the living, so are these the same book or are they completely different?

Philippians 2 As A Mission Statement

Last updated on: July 2, 2018 at 1:46 pm By Jack Wellman

For the Body of Christ, Philippians 2 is a great chapter to take to heart and mind as it reflects Christ Himself. A Church’s Mission Most churches have mission statements or specific purpose statements. They have these in order to tell a visitor what the church’s central focus is or what their mission is. Is it aligned with Christ’s directives (Matt 25:35-36, 28:18-20), or is it ambiguous and doesn’t really say much? What is the church’s priority here on earth?... Read more
