The Christian View of Work

Last updated on: February 4, 2019 at 3:31 pm By Jack Wellman

Work is a good thing, even if it doesn’t feel like it at the time, the Bible shows us that God is still working and our working is God’s will. Working for God When I was working my way through college, paying as I went, I remember having some of the most difficult jobs of all. One was a janitorial position at an aircraft manufacturing plant that I worked at for over seven years, and prior to that, I worked... Read more

How Christians Look at Death

Last updated on: February 4, 2019 at 1:38 pm By Jack Wellman

Death is not an easy subject to discuss, but for believers, there is hope after the grave, and here is Scripture to show that. No Separation Nearing the end of his ministry, the Apostle Paul knew that his time was drawing near, and so he wrote to Timothy, “For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand” (2 Tim 4:6). Paul could rightfully say, “I have fought a good fight, I have... Read more

What the Bible Says About Loving Our Neighbor

Last updated on: January 29, 2019 at 3:13 pm By Jack Wellman

The Bible commands us to love God and to love our neighbor as ourselves, so what does that look like? Loving God Jesus tells us the very two greatest commands in all the Bible and they are found in Matthew 22:37-40 where Jesus says, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall... Read more

What the Bible Says About Love and Relationships

Last updated on: January 29, 2019 at 12:47 pm By Jack Wellman

The Bible speaks about the love of God, but also about human love, so here’s what Scripture says about love and relationships. The Love of a Spouse Jacob and Rachel is one of the greatest love stories in the Bible. In fact, Jacob was so consumed by Rachel, that “Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed to him but a few days because of the love he had for her” (Gen 29:20). Much earlier, after Isaac’s mother died,... Read more

The Power of Encouragement

Last updated on: January 29, 2019 at 1:52 pm By Jack Wellman

There is power in the tongue to either destroy or build up, but read about the benefits that encouragement bring. Burdens Shared I remember hearing that a joy shared is doubled, but a sorrow shared is halved, and I believe that is true, but I also believe that God wants us to take all of our burdens to Him. Jesus tells us all, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take... Read more

4 Characteristics of a Good and Faithful Servant

Last updated on: January 29, 2019 at 10:42 am By Jack Wellman

What does Jesus mean by calling some, “Good and faithful servant?” Who is a faithful servant? Faithful What believer doesn’t long for the day when Jesus will say to them, “Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master” (Matt 25:23). This is opposed to those who wouldn’t even invest in what God had entrusted to them (Matt 25:24-27), but what does it... Read more

Why Does Jesus Say “Blessed Are Those Who Mourn?”

Last updated on: January 23, 2019 at 5:01 pm By Jack Wellman

Isn’t mourning a bad thing, so why does Jesus say, “Blessed are those who mourn?” Mourning Everyone goes through a time of loss and mourning. It might be a beloved aunt, grandparent, parent, or even a child. Those who lose their pets go through very much the same thing, so why does Jesus say, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted” (Matt 5:4)? How is mourning over something or someone supposed to bring a blessing? Part of... Read more

The Infinite Power Of Love

Last updated on: January 23, 2019 at 2:12 pm By Jack Wellman

Love is more than a feeling…it is a verb, and it is the most powerful of all human emotions. Love is a Verb Love is not just a greeting card or saying “I love you.” Love is a verb. It is what you do. The greatest display of love ever shown was at the cross (1 John 3:16), as God loved us first (1 John 4:19); we who were still ungodly, wicked enemies of His (Rom 5:6-10). God made the... Read more

What The Bible Teaches About Forgiveness

Last updated on: January 17, 2019 at 8:54 pm By Jack Wellman

The Bible teaches us much about forgiveness, and here’s some of the best Bible verses on that subject. Forgiven Since we’ve been forgiven so much, it’s important that we learn or choose to forgive others, so my hope is that these Bible verses about God’s forgiveness will help us to forgive others more easily, especially considering how much we’ve been forgiven. After David had committed adultery and conspired to have Bathsheba’s husband murdered, he wrote perhaps the greatest chapter on... Read more
