What The Bible Says About Evangelism

Last updated on: January 17, 2019 at 5:51 pm By Jack Wellman

Missionaries have a very special calling, but so do Christians, because we’re all called to go and make disciples, teaching them what Christ taught His disciples. Imperative Command Jesus gives the church an imperative command in Matthew 28:19-20 where He said to “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I... Read more

What The Bible Says About Mothers

Last updated on: January 17, 2019 at 9:00 pm By Jack Wellman

Mothers are very special, so in honor of mothers everywhere, here is what the Bible says about you. Honoring Mom The Bible doesn’t just teach that we should honor others, like the elders among us, but also to honor our father and our mother. That is the first horizontal commandment given which relates to how we deal with one another. The fifth commandment says, “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that... Read more

How Can We Be Holy, As God Is Holy?

Last updated on: January 14, 2019 at 2:40 pm By Jack Wellman

The Word tells us to be holy as God is holy, so how is that possible? Holy, Holy, Holy Perhaps one of the greatest attributes of God, if not “the” greatest attribute of God, is that He is holy. When Jews wanted to emphasize something, they would often repeat it, much in the same way that God often repeated a person’s name twice, but this repeating of the person’s name was an indication of a close, personal relationship. Jesus would... Read more

The Living, Active, Word Of God

Last updated on: January 14, 2019 at 12:52 pm By Jack Wellman

God’s Word has power, and I think you’ll better understand that power after reading about the living, active Word of God. The Word Convicts Some people tell me that they have a gift of discernment, and that they can tell when someone’s lying or if something’s not right, and maybe they do, but no human alive can discern the human heart like the Word of God can. The author of Hebrews tells us that “the word of God is living... Read more

What Does The Parable Of The Weeds Mean?

Last updated on: January 1, 2019 at 10:17 pm By Jack Wellman

God actually knew there would be tares or false converts within the church, but why? The World In the Parable of the Weeds, Jesus said that “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field, but while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away” (Matt 13:24-25), and in time, “when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also” (Matt...

The Exclusivity Of Salvation Through Christ Alone

Last updated on: April 1, 2019 at 5:14 pm By Jack Wellman

Clearly, trusting in Jesus Christ is the one and only way that God can save us, and to establish that truth, read these 7 Bible verses. John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Jesus makes it abundantly clear that there is no other possible way to the Father than through Him. He is the one and only way. He alone is the... Read more

Traditional Wedding Vows And Their Meanings

Last updated on: December 31, 2018 at 11:55 am By Jack Wellman

The traditional wedding vows are packed with meaning. Read about some of these vows and what they mean. The Bride of Christ The church is called the Bride of Christ because she is betrothed to the Lord Jesus Christ, and someday the Bridegroom, Jesus Christ, will come for His Bride and seat her at the banquet of the marriage feast of the Lamb of God. At the consummation of the marriage, the Bride will “rejoice and exult and give him... Read more

Is Being “Slain In The Spirit” Biblical?

Last updated on: December 22, 2018 at 4:44 pm By Jack Wellman

Have you heard someone say, they were slain in the Spirit? What does this mean? Is it from Scripture? The Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit is not a force or a power of God, but God Himself as the Third Person in the Trinity, as there is also God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit, but why is the Holy Spirit called “the Holy Spirit?” Why isn’t He called “the Spirit of God,” or as...

Bible Verses To Help You Spot Apostasy Or Heresies

Last updated on: December 20, 2018 at 2:51 pm By Jack Wellman

It’s getting more difficult to spot apostasy and heresies but these Bible verses should help. Growing Apostasy Since apostasy seems to be on the increase and false teachers are even more deceptive, how might we recognize it when we see, hear, or read it? The Bible and the Holy Spirit are our greatest weapons in discerning the false from the true and the satanic teachers from the biblically sound teachers. One man comes to mind when I think of biblically... Read more

Be Anxious For Nothing, Pray About Everything

Last updated on: December 20, 2018 at 11:22 am By Jack Wellman

Here’s how you can kill the anxiety by praying about everything. Anxiety Anxiety is described as a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease about things, situations, or relationships, typically about some imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome. That sounds a lot like worry to me, and Jesus commanded us not to worry, saying, “do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on....
