If a pastor has a successful, growing congregation would you assume that he is in God’s favor because of the numbers? What about a businessman who lands a lucrative contract, is he being rewarded for his godliness. In both cases, the assumptions may be correct, but there might be other factors at work not at…

To be zealous sounds really awe-inspiring. It takes on a ring of enthusiasm and intense passion—something held in high regard. But in scripture, the word zealous can actually take on the meaning of jealousy. And to most, this word doesn’t seem to gain the same approval in today’s world. Is there a fine line between…
One of the greatest Biblical scholars of all time wrote: “For indeed Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block, and to Gentiles foolishness.” The Apostle Paul draws a distinct difference between those who move in faith and those looking for reason, when it comes to Messiah.
