What Is A Disciple Of Jesus Christ? How Do You Become One?

Last updated on: May 14, 2018 at 4:02 pm By Jack Wellman

Jesus’ command was to make disciples of all nations, but what is a disciple? How do you become one? A Disciple Jesus commanded the first disciples to make disciples of others (Matt 28:19-20), but what is a disciple? It comes from the Old English discipul which comes from the Latin discipulus, meaning, “pupil, student, follower,” and said to be from discere (“to learn”) from which we get the word “discern.” From that comes from the root word, dek which means...

How To Live A Life Of Contentment

Last updated on: May 7, 2018 at 1:56 pm By Jack Wellman

What is your contentment in life based upon? Whatever it is, that determines your contentment in life. Circumstances The Apostle Paul gives us the command to “Do all things without grumbling or disputing” (Phil 2:14), in order “that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world” (Phil 2:15), but why would Paul tie in our contentment with being blameless...

Love: The Greatest Apologetic

Last updated on: May 9, 2018 at 2:51 pm By Jack Wellman

How will everyone know who Jesus’ disciples are? Loving One Another It is difficult to reconcile the fact that someone hates their brother or sister and yet professes to be Christ’s. That is not my opinion, but what Scripture clearly teaches. Hating a brother or sister is dangerous ground to tread as Jesus said, “whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire” (Matt 5:22). Hating... Read more

Is It Sinful To Have Fear And Doubt?

Last updated on: May 8, 2018 at 9:48 am By Jack Wellman

Almost everyone’s had a time of doubt and fear, so what does the Bible say about fear and doubt? Is it sinful? Doubt Doubt is a feeling of not knowing what to believe or what to do, or the condition of being uncertain or it’s an uncertainty about something or someone, or even having difficulty believing in something or someone, but fear is more debilitating than doubt because fear is a feeling that can be induced by a perceived danger...

Is America On The Brink Of Financial Disaster?

Last updated on: May 1, 2018 at 10:26 pm By Jack Wellman

With the U.S. debt spiraling out of control, is the U.S. on the brink of a financial catastrophe? Indebtedness The United States national debt has now reached twenty-one trillion dollars and counting, and counting quickly. You can see for yourself on the U.S. Debt Clock (www.usdebtclock.org/) just how astoundingly fast this debt is piling up. I calculated the rate at which the debt is swelling and it was a stunning $45,000 further in debt every second! That’s right! Count, one-thousand... Read more

What Is The Roman Road?

Last updated on: April 24, 2018 at 3:02 pm By Jack Wellman

Have you ever heard of the “Roman Road” to salvation? If not, here’s what it means. Old Testament Saints Before I write about the Roman Road, let me ask you, how did the Old Testament saints get saved since Jesus would not die for their sins for another thousand years or more? If we need to trust in Christ to be saved, how were Noah, Abraham, and the other Old Testament saints saved before Jesus came to die? Aren’t we... Read more

Is Sin, Sin? Is All Sin The Same?

Last updated on: April 19, 2018 at 3:23 pm By Jack Wellman

Have you heard someone say, “Sin is sin?” Is that true? What does the Bible say? It Only Takes One Sin is sin. You’ve probably heard that from some Christians when speaking about a certain sin someone or they committed. To begin with, the Apostle John tells us what sin is, writing that “Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness” (1 John 3:4), but thankfully, Jesus Christ “appeared in order to take away sins,...

The number of false prophets has exploded in the last few years, so to prepare you for their deception, here are some powerful Bible verses about false prophets. Warnings In Matthew 7:15 Jesus warned us to “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves,” and Jesus prophesied that prior to His second coming, that “many false prophets will arise and lead many astray” (Matt 24:11), and we know that these wolves love...

The Book Of Esther And God’s Providence

Last updated on: April 18, 2018 at 3:42 pm By Jack Wellman

In the Book of Esther, God’s name is never mentioned, but you can clearly see the fingerprints of God’s sovereignty throughout the book. Queen Vashti Rebels The Book of Esther is the only book in the Bible that does not mention God by name. It doesn’t matter because you can see God’s divine fingerprints over everything that happens. Maybe that’s the point; when we see no evidence of God moving in our life, and it seems we’re on the brink... Read more

What It Means To Lay Aside Every Weight And Sin

Last updated on: April 18, 2018 at 2:08 pm By Jack Wellman

We know what it means to lay aside sin, but what does it mean to lay aside “every weight” that so easily slows down our race to the finish? Sin Sin is defined as transgressing the law of God (1 John 3:4). It is missing the mark…the mark of perfection that God requires to enter the kingdom of God (Rev 21:27). Thankfully we can receive the righteousness that is required by God from God Himself through Jesus Christ. The Apostle... Read more
