Is It Possible to Lose Your Salvation?
The teachings on this subject can be divided into three persuasions: 1) what a person does has no bearing on his salvation 2) Salvation is unconditional and irreversible 3) Salvation is only valid so long as a person abides in Christ. What does the Bible say on this subject?

Lost... Reward
Rewards are frequently offered for valuable lost items, pets, and people. These may provide incentive to join in the rescue effort, but there is something greater and more satisfying than receiving the promised remuneration.

Mother
May all mothers everywhere realize the importance of their work, and be diligent to fill their feminine role, one that their children, the children's fathers, and the world needs desperately. From: Reaching Out (Issue 125)

Perfect
Perfection...as embodied in a peach? No, but some principles from that luscious fruit may point us toward the answer to man's quest for perfection. And for both people and peaches, their Maker deserves their best efforts...besides any and all glory from either.

Praying for a Terrorist?
In no way do genuine Christians want to condone acts of terrorism, but at the same time, they do need to portray Jesus’ teachings on love for all mankind, even toward enemies. Does Christ really want Christians to rejoice when a terrorist goes to hell?
-
Refuting Naturalism and Moral Relativism
It’s serious enough when men rob men of that which is good, but the natural universe is the property of God clearly, marked with the ink of God’s directives and divine signature. Naturalism/moral relativism has neither science nor the good of humanity on its side.

Repentance - a Gospel Requirement
John the Baptist introduced the coming Christ by calling the people to repentance. What were they expected to do? What is repentance? What is it not?
-
Ruin through Entitlement
The "owes me" mentality has created a culture of takers and cheaters. What can we say of the damage to Christian faith when our energies are diverted into shortsighted pleasures and materialism? But, praise God, there is a solution for the ravages of entitlement!
-
So You Want Friends?
You want friends? Sure you do! But be honest with yourself: do your friends cause you to do what is right? To square your shoulders and walk a different line than the corrupt society around you? Will you be that kind of friend to others?

Special Design in our Solar System
The fine-tuned design of our solar system reiterates the fact that there is a Creator who formed this earth to be inhabited. Just imagine the power and wisdom required to create all these heavenly bodies and keep them on exactly the right path over thousands of years. How amazing and awesome God is!

Teaching Children Respect
How can we train children in this secular and sinful society where Christian values are openly ridiculed? It is going to take courage on the part of parents to come out from the secular society, rejecting its materialistic, anti-God, anti-moral absence of values.
-
Technology Issues?
It is God who established scientific principles and mandated their correct use. Satan puts them to an evil purpose, but it is up to the Christian to honor and serve God with them where he can. Christians must abstain from using technology that would ruin morals and destroy the link with Christ.

The Age of the Earth
Why does it matter how old the earth is? Isn’t it just an unimportant side issue? No. It really comes down to a question of authority. Who is the authority? Is it God and His Word, or fallible scientists? If we don’t believe the Bible in one area, why should we believe it in other areas?
-
The Babel Effect
Noah’s ark was built to God’s design to save humanity for God. Babel, in contrast, was to be built to save man apart from God. Are there parallels of these two buildings in today's world?
-
The Bible: God's Word or Primitive Musings?
Science is possible because we have a consistent, unchanging Creator. Not only is the Bible internally cohesive, but since God is the Creator, and knows all things, He knows everything about science. What if He recorded accurate scientific facts long before human scientists discovered them?
