If you grew up Catholic, you may have been taught that when you die, you don’t necessarily go straight to heaven or hell. There’s another stop along the way—purgatory—a place where souls are “purified” before they can enter God’s presence. But here’s the real question: Is purgatory biblical? Because at the end of the day,…
Church is supposed to be a place of refuge, a family of believers where we worship, grow, and encourage one another. But for many, the very place that should foster spiritual healing has become a source of deep wounds. We need to know how healing church wounds through forgiveness and reconciliation can bring about peace…
Divorce is never pretty. It leaves scars, wounds families, and creates ripple effects that can last generations. If you’ve found yourself facing divorce, you may be asking: “Does this mean I’ve lost my salvation? Is divorce the unforgivable sin in Christianity, or is there hope for me in Christ?” A Hard Reality and an Honest…
There’s something frustrating about walking into a church, sitting through the service, and leaving without a single meaningful conversation. Week after week, you see groups of people talking, laughing, and making plans—while you wonder, Why can’t I make friends in church? Understanding Fear, Self-Doubt, and Biblical Friendship There’s something frustrating about walking into a church,…
Tithing. It’s one of those topics that keeps coming up in Christian circles. Some say if you’re not giving 10% of your income to the church, you’re robbing God. Others argue that tithing was an Old Testament law that no longer applies. So, do Christians have to tithe? A Question That Won’t Go Away I’ve…
It’s a comforting thought: the idea that, in the end, everyone goes to heaven. No judgment, no eternal consequences—just a loving God welcoming all people into paradise. It’s an idea that fits well with modern sensibilities, where tolerance is king, and personal truth is celebrated. But is it biblical? The Universalist Question: Are All Saved?…
We’ve all heard the debates about gender—about how it’s supposedly a spectrum, how it’s a social construct, how biology doesn’t determine identity. But here’s the thing: the Bible isn’t vague on the issue of why are there two genders. God created two genders—male and female. He did so with intentionality, purpose, and a design that…
Unsure about Christianity? I know what it’s like to wrestle with faith. You hear about Jesus. You hear about heaven and hell. You hear people say that Christianity is the only way, but something inside you hesitates. Maybe you’ve seen hypocrisy. Maybe you’ve suffered loss and wondered where God was. Maybe you just aren’t sure…
Authority. Just reading that word probably stirs up some emotions. For many, it’s a word tied to control, abuse, and manipulation. We’ve seen church leaders fall from grace, institutions protect power over truth, and people wounded by those who were supposed to shepherd them. It’s no wonder that in today’s culture, the word authority carries…
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve heard it: “Doctrine doesn’t matter. All that matters is love.” And I get it. On the surface, it sounds right.
