Christ-Esteem Over Self-Esteem
If we are to have a relationship with God, Christ has made it possible. In fact, without His sacrifice, you would be unable to experience it.
Romans
There’s Hope for People Like Us
If you feel overwhelmed by the state of the world and your soul, there is still good news to be found. There’s hope even for people like us.
Intro to Religions
Our world has thorough religious systems that significantly alter how people live and societies function. Learn what comprises a religion and how it should influence one’s decisions.
You Aren’t Righteous Enough
Most of us gauge our righteousness by comparing ourselves to the depraved culture or the misguided individuals around us. No matter how well you compare to the people around you, you aren’t righteous enough to meet the required standards.
Righteousness Comes Through Faith
Jesus was a perfect sacrifice in that He required no reconciliation on His behalf because He never sinned. His perfectly righteous status enabled Him to take our place and provide us with the necessary righteousness.
Righteousness Requires a Standard
We can’t just make up standards without God’s help because we could never agree. If we are going to comprehend right and wrong, we must understand that righteous requires a standard.
The Chutes and Ladders God
Many people follow the Chutes and Ladders God. We reckon that God depends on our ethical integrity to determine how he should best deal with us.
Only God Can Determine Justice
While we all claim to have a standard of right and wrong, that justification can only come from God. If God exists, and I believe He does, then He is the only one with the right and responsibility to determine what justice is.
While We Were Yet Sinners
Romans 5:6-11 – Christ didn’t offer His life for us because we deserved it. He was gracious to us while we were yet sinners.
Churches Helping Churches
If we can rid competition from our churches, we can start viewing one another as partners in the Great Commission. We need to start prioritizing what God is doing among all the churches rather than focusing on how we can brag about what we are doing through ours.
