Steadfast is Your Love
Jesus said that if we follow him, that we will be hated as he was hated, and that they will treat us the same way as they treated him. We are taught in scripture that we can expect to be persecuted, too, for righteousness’ sake, and that we are blessed when people revile us and say all manner of...- Sue J Love

Leap for Joy?
Let’s have a show of hands. How many of us, when we go through tough trials, immediately count it all joy? How many of us delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, and in difficulties? How many of us, when people hate us, when they exclude us and insult us and reject our...- Sue J Love

Who can and cannot be saved.
Hello. Friendly atheist here. I come to the forums ‘cuz I’m interested in discussing religious matters and they just don’t generally come up when hanging out with my in-person Christian friends.

They Heap Abuse
The Lord Jesus led me to read 2 Peter 2 (Select vv. ESV). But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you.

Battle for the Mind
We are in a battle, and the battle is for our minds and our hearts. Satan is our foe, and he is out to destroy us. So, he will come at us from all different angles to try to break us down, to try to discourage us, to try to get us to give in to our emotions and/or to give up hope. But, we can’t...- Sue J Love

A Battle with Fear
Do you battle with fear? I did for a good portion of my life. Since I was abused as a child, by an angry father, I was afraid pretty much all of the time then. And, throughout my adult years, I also battled with fear, because I did not understand the sovereignty of God over my life, and I...- Sue J Love

Who Do We Imitate?
How are our lives impacting others for Jesus Christ? Does our walk match our talk? Do we live what we say we believe? Can others see Christ in us? Or, is what they see our flesh? Do we honor God by our lives, by what we say, and by what we do? Or, are we living to please our flesh, consumed...- Sue J Love

A Process
There are those who teach that once you are saved, indicating that salvation is a single, one-time experience, that you are sinless from that point forward, i.e. that you cannot commit a single sin and still be a Christian.
