On a recent article I tacked the question of “should Christians be close friends with non-Christians?” I think there are certainly some interesting scriptures we must take into account, and I am left with the impression that while Christians should be “friends” with everyone (in the sense of being friendly and loving), it probably isn’t [...]

Most Christians Today Are Lazy and Sinful
July 22, 2009 by
Sometimes I am utterly astounded by the lack of discipline of today’s so called “Christians.” I use the term “Christians” loosely because some people love to call themselves Christians, yet I have trouble finding anything that even remotely resembles “Christ” in them. Many Christians today are getting soft on biblical principles. Some support homosexuality (even though [...]

What Does the Bible Say About Gambling? Is it a Sin?
June 30, 2009 by
Gambling is big business for some cities, and for a good reason: People spend lots of money trying to get rich quickly. Unfortunately, most people tend to get poorer instead of richer when gambling.

The bible presents the resurrection not as a story or parable, but as a real event which will soon take place at some point in the [...]
