Last updated on: December 6, 2018 at 2:50 pm By Jack Wellman

It seems we are the hardest person to forgive, so here’s how you can enter a new year with zero regrets. Have the Funeral One of our most widely used phrases when people can’t forget for forgive their past is to “Have the funeral.” Bury the past, and move on from what you can’t change.

Does The Bible Mention Holy Water?

Last updated on: December 6, 2018 at 10:36 am By Jack Wellman

Holy water is now one of the hottest selling items on TV and the Internet, but does the Bible mention holy water? Baptism Every believer is commanded to be baptized after they are saved, with the understanding that the water doesn’t save them. There’s no special power in water or special waters that are blessed to make them holy, and after examining the Bible, I found the Scriptures silent about holy water. There is much to say about water, and... Read more

The Power Of Gratitude

Last updated on: December 24, 2018 at 7:59 pm By Jack Wellman

There is great power in our words…power to do good and power to do harm, but words of gratitude have a power that keeps on giving. Words The saying that “Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never harm me” doesn’t appear to be true. I can’t count the number of people that’ve heard words from their parents like, “You’ll never amount to nothing” and “You’re useless.” Sadly, this can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Words do matter…very... Read more

What Does It Mean To Shrink Back At His Appearing?

Last updated on: December 3, 2018 at 1:14 pm By Jack Wellman

Why did the Apostle John say he wanted believers to abide in Christ and have boldness on the day of His appearing, and not shrink back in shame? What’s the meaning? Faithful Servant All believers are stewards…stewards of their time, talent, and treasure, and Jesus will hold us all accountable for what we have done (Matt 25:40) and haven’t done for Him (Matt 25:41), so when Jesus was speaking about stewardship, He gave the Parable of the Talents. To each,... Read more

Hymnal Theology

Last updated on: November 26, 2018 at 3:47 pm By Jack Wellman

What’s so great about all the old hymns? Maybe it was the fact that they were theologically sound. Theology So, what’s so great about all the old hymns? Aren’t they outdated or old fashioned? Or, are they more theologically sound than many contemporary Christian songs today? In our day, it’s not always theology (study of the “Word”) you hear in Christian songs but a “me-ology,” or Jesus is the lover of my soul, Jesus is my friend, and so on.... Read more
