Understanding Biblical Prophecy: What Every Christian Should Know

Understanding Biblical Prophecy: What Every Christian Should Know   Photo by Aaron Burden on Unsplash The most interesting part of the bible is biblical prophecy but only to a point when it becomes confusing. Many Christians dig in the texts of what lies ahead, what will transpire, what should be given a warning, then merely sit and stare at it, asking themselves, what in the world do they mean. Some individuals become curious whereas others become somewhat overwhelmed. But the truth? Prophecy was not expected to be like a brain- teasher; it was there to instruct, to give a wake-up call and to motivate. God continued to deliver loose messages to people via prophets throughout the bible. These were not necessarily about future knowledge; on the majority of occasions, they were about retrieving the people into their faith, reminding them of the vows and raising a finger on the consequences of going haywire. It was like a bridge which made all people see what God intended. In...

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT DEMONS

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT DEMONS Photo by Vitaliy Shevchenko on Unsplash Introduction   Demons are among such topics that make even the seasoned Christians uneasy with their seat. And some churches are all abuzz about them, casting them out, name them, rebuking them in every prayer of them. They are hardly even noted by others, who quietly dismiss the entire subject of the matter as something disgraceful, the residue of pre-scientific belief that is passed off by modern faith.   Neither extreme is much in line with what Bible actually says. The fact is, Scripture does not round off the demonic. Not in an exalted sense, and not in a scared sense, but in a clear, common sense that provides the believers with a both realistic view of the spiritual world, as well as with a firm base upon which they will live in it. To be able to think about this, we must honestly look at what the Bible shows us, neither dramatizing it nor shrinking either. What Do the Bible teach us abo...

WHAT THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT ALCOHOL

WHAT THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT ALCOHOL   Photo by Олег Мороз on Unsplash Introduction   Frankly speaking, nearly all students have heard how the Christians and liquor are like opposing poles. Some of them were as if, no alcohol, no sin, whereas others were gulping down the wine in the dorm without a second consideration, depending on what campus church they attended. It’s a real split, and it’s deep. However, what is it that the Bible says? It is a little more complicated than butt out after a drip or the float the diet. It discusses the fun stuff, the risk stuff and the best-practice on how to keep on track. Assuming we are going to make a dive, then we need to see the entire picture. Alcohol During the Bible Time The thing to know is that, in that time alcohol was normal thing. Wine was our staple, as water in our case, which was sailed through culture, marriages, presents, and religious rites. The Old Testament even refers to the blessings of God as grain and new wine ...

What Does the Bible Work say concerning Love and Relationships?

What Does the Bible Work say concerning Love and Relationships? Photo by Allison Saeng on Unsplash Introduction Everything we literally bump into is love, eh? Pizza? Love. Our country? Love. Kids? Love. Spouses? Love. We put love in our mouth so carelessly, it begins to sound a little like a spam filter like you are holding it when you are not supposed to. The Bible however is not that messy. Scriptures exude love in a completely different tone. It is not a sense you can get on the weekend or a vibe that you may see on Instagram. It is a big push of something- much more demanding and much more gorgeous. And when it addresses itself to relationships, such as friends, marriages, church crews, families, it paints a picture that excavates ground deeper than the generic cultural script. At least this we ought to think. The texture of our entire grind is determined by how we love, what we love, and how we develop tension with other people. Getting it right matters. And the Bible really has ...

How Does the Bible Describe Heaven?

How Does the Bible Describe Heaven?   Photo by  Stephanie Klepacki   on   Unsplash What is heaven? Heaven is an ultra-interesting subject when delved into the Biblical materials, right? Decent theorists like professors and other pupils have been baffling as to what is really up there past the clouds. Is it just a serene, airy realm? It is a more spiritual state in the eye of some classmates. Still others say it is a much more enriching and glorifying reality than we are ever able to imagine.   The Bible does not present a step-by-step guide to the structure of Heaven, but still gives some clues occasionally. Such glimpses are scattered through Scripture like pearls, and they show us a very beautiful God-focused paradise where we must all spend eternity with Him. Reading those lines, we begin to envision Heaven not as an attitude of complete security of the human mind created by our designs, but as an actual existence developed by God, as explained in boo...
