The scene he describes is not past or future — it is happening now. And it draws us to the same realization the elders had: God alone is worthy.https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/job-of-the-church-is-to-warn/Sat, 27 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/job-of-the-church-is-to-warn/Is warning people unloving? Many in the church now think so. But Scripture shows that warning a perishing world is not the opposite of love — it is one of love’s truest expressions.https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/you-must-be-born-again/Wed, 24 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/you-must-be-born-again/Religion, rituals, and church attendance cannot save. Jesus told Nicodemus you must be born again — a spiritual birth that is the difference between eternal heaven and eternal hell.https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/are-christians-sinners/Mon, 22 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/are-christians-sinners/“Christians are sinners” has become a popular cliché — but does it line up with the Word? A look at 1 John 3 and the difference between struggling with sin and practicing it as a lifestyle.https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/does-christ-is-king-make-someone-a-christian/Sat, 20 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/does-christ-is-king-make-someone-a-christian/Bold slogans and Christian language aren’t proof of saving faith. A biblical look at why fruit, repentance, and submission to Christ — not rhetoric — reveal who truly belongs to Him.https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/deceitfulness-of-riches/Fri, 19 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/deceitfulness-of-riches/Jesus called riches deceitful for a reason. Money has the appearance of value but cannot give eternal life. True riches — the abundant, overflowing life that never runs dry — are found only in being rich toward God.https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/are-you-saved/Thu, 18 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/are-you-saved/The single most important question you will ever answer in this life is not about money, marriage, or plans — it is this: are you saved? Scripture allows only two positions, and everyone is in one of them.https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/walking-in-goodness-righteousness-truth/Wed, 17 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/walking-in-goodness-righteousness-truth/Once we were darkness; now we are light in the Lord. The fruit of that light is goodness, righteousness, and truth — attributes that come not from ourselves but from the Spirit of God working through us.https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/becoming-little-children-in-the-kingdom/Tue, 16 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/becoming-little-children-in-the-kingdom/Jesus said unless we are converted and become as little children, we will not enter the kingdom. Childlikeness means rest, trust, and humility — leaning on a great and mighty God rather than our own strength.https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/misconception-7-grace-can-run-out/Tue, 16 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/misconception-7-grace-can-run-out/We rightly celebrate the grace that saves — but there is a sobering truth alongside it. The grace at work in an unbeliever’s heart can be resisted, and it can run out. Do not sin away your grace.https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/misconception-6-church-and-politics/Mon, 15 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/misconception-6-church-and-politics/The enemy has used the word ‘politics’ to silence the church on the very issues that matter most. But politics is simply the public realm of ideas — and the church is called to be the pillar and ground of the truth there too.https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/self-or-god-shining-forth/Mon, 15 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/self-or-god-shining-forth/Scripture sets two places side by side: Tyre, perfecting its own beauty, and Zion, where God shines forth. Only one can reign in us. Either the fallen nature shines from our life, or God does.https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/misconception-5-grace-license-to-sin/Sun, 14 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/misconception-5-grace-license-to-sin/Many treat God’s grace as total freedom to live however they please. But Scripture itself confronts this ‘false grace.’ Real grace teaches us to say no to ungodliness — it never licenses the sin it came to break.https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/no-great-people-god-alone-is-great/Sun, 14 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/no-great-people-god-alone-is-great/The world is full of people proclaiming their own greatness. But Scripture says men of high degree are a lie. There is no great person apart from God — He alone is truly great, and pride blinds us to it.https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/living-in-the-now-vs-living-in-the-know/Sat, 13 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/living-in-the-now-vs-living-in-the-know/Are you living in the ’now’ — guided by what you see and feel — or in the ‘know,’ an intimate understanding of God given by His Spirit? One is passing away; the other lays hold of eternal realities.https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/misconception-4-love-is-a-feeling/Sat, 13 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/misconception-4-love-is-a-feeling/The world says love is a feeling — tolerance of everything, whatever makes us feel good. Scripture says love is a moral quality of God’s own character, always grounded in truth and never rejoicing in sin.https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/eternal-judgment-happening-now/Fri, 12 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/eternal-judgment-happening-now/God’s eternal judgment is not only a future event — Scripture says His wrath is being revealed now. Understanding this sobering truth equips the church to be God’s prophetic voice, and to point people to the open door of grace.https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/misconception-3-repentance-and-salvation/Fri, 12 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/misconception-3-repentance-and-salvation/Many in the church think the first step in evangelism is sharing Jesus. But Paul’s pattern began earlier — with repentance toward God. Before a person can receive the Savior, they must first acknowledge God as God.https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/misconception-2-world-condition-gods-will/Thu, 11 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/misconception-2-world-condition-gods-will/Closely related to the first misconception, but aimed at God’s deep work in human hearts. The broken state of the world is not evidence that God has failed any soul — He has been faithful to every person He ever made.https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/misconception-1-everything-is-gods-will/Wed, 10 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/misconception-1-everything-is-gods-will/The first in a series on common misconceptions of the faith. Is everything that happens really God’s will? Scripture distinguishes God’s sovereignty from God’s approval — and protects us from blaming Him for evil.https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/is-the-bishops-position-biblical/Wed, 22 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://f88e2e01.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/is-the-bishops-position-biblical/Testing a widely-shared inauguration sermon against Scripture — and why a message that sounds compassionate can still be a half-truth that leads people astray.
