    My beef with Word of Faith theology

    Back in the early 1990s, I spent a few years at two WOF churches. One in my hometown and the other in the college town where I was taking classes. My issues come from some of these formal beliefs taken from the WOF board here. (Lots of other people make other kinds of complaints as far...

    "in" Christ

    Religion is about what you do. Your good works, obedience, repentance, law keeping, how much you give, your church attendance, prayer etc. The Gospel is about what Christ did. His Death, Burial, Resurrection. And when we trust Him, what He can do thru/with "in us". The phrase's: "In Christ"...

    If you're a Christian & think you've committed the unforgivable sin, you haven't & you CAN'T!

    Theological question about Abram and Sarah.

    I've decided to study the OT a bit more and as I was reading Genesis I could not understand one thing and I know this might be a weird question to many. But. Why did God punish Pharaoh for Abraham's lie about Sarah being his sister, not his wife if Pharaoh did not know he wasn't told the truth...

    ELCA vs. UMC

    ELCA and United Methodists Differences

    I keep trying to find the differences between ELCA and the UMC. I only find one major difference - that the UMC believes in becoming holy on this earth and has more of a focus on earthly works. However, they still believe in God's grace and that Jesus is the one who saves. They believe that...

    What I learned from the Syriac Tradition

    1) Christ was a poet, not just in heart but also in actual speech. If we bring the Gospel text back into the original spoken language of Aramaic we find there are many poetic devices used by Christ in his sermons, parables and sayings. This is significant because many people I think have...

    What We Hope For Keeps Us Going
