It's very common to see Christians/Christianity being mocked, questioned and slandered. Whether it be amongst your peers or on mainstream media, without a doubt there'll be a time where you witness an attack on the faith. As a Christian it can be disheartening and leads us to the question "why do we get so much scrutiny?" There's an array of reasons but let us discuss a few. Genuine Christians . If we look at numbers, we'll see that the majority of the world identify as Chri

Some of us are familiar with the verse; "For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.” 2 Thessalonians 3:10 We understand that this chapter is about idleness and the importance of working (specifically believers). However, we can also apply this to our spiritual life. Those who are unwilling to work on their walk with God (read the bible, pray, follow Gods teachings) shall not eat from the blessings of God. This doesn

If those in the bible struggled with this then what hope do we have in having an easy ride. The bible has never said we wouldn't struggle with this. Instead it gives us many warnings that we will. Ontop of that, being a Christian has never been trendy or cool, but rather it’s looked at as a boring religion. What struggles are we facing? Life in itself is a struggle, but here are some things in life that can deviate you from walk with Christ. Matthew 6:25 “Therefore I say to y

I’ve been suffering with this since the day it started, It’s been 12 years why can’t we be parted I’ve spent my life savings looking for a cure, Is that so hard, I don’t ask for any more I’m not allowed in the church, because I’m unclean, The say this is the way but I think it’s just mean I’m an outcast in the community with no friends, I can’t take this no more, when will it end The way they look at me, I’m living in shame But I wish they could see, my internal pain Why me,

At our church we're encouraged to read the bible for ourselves to ensure what's being taught is in fact the word of God. As easy as it is to just listen to the man at the pulpit, we have to ensure what we're absorbing is not contrary to the truth. If you ask someone why they're christening their child, they'll mostly answer with "it's what my parents did with me and my grandparents did with my patents." In the ceremony you also find the babies being given a "Christian name"

We've just about covered what it means to be a Christian, but we haven't discussed why. In part two we saw the word 'saved' come up in Acts 16:31 . This is what will be discussing today in part 3, the finale. Jesus Christ was sent on this earth to seek and save the lost with his light. He was then crucified. He died for our sins, paying that price for us so that whoever believed in him would be rewarded. Three days later he resurrected, just as he said he would. This was to s

Last week we concluded that Christianity is Christ. Today we will go through various scriptures in the bible to further answer this question. Being a Christian is usually connected to attending church on Sundays and listening to a man at the pulpit in religious garments. Some of these people may believe that engaging in this regular activity is all that it takes. However, the bible shows us otherwise. In the bible, we first see the word used in Acts 11:26; And when he had fou

This word is known all over the world and if you ask someone the question, you'll most likely get the same answer, "it's a religion". But did you know the term 'Christian' is used very loosely? Which explains as to why most people do not understand what it means to be one and are only familiar with the more common practices such as Christmas, Easter and christenings. Through the bible we see Gods commands for us, but after the birth of Jesus Christ we see the focal point of C
