What is sin?
There is a word that appears in many of my articles, as in many conversations about Christianity and theology. But it can be easy to overlook. That word is ‘sin.’ But what is sin? And perhaps more importantly, what is sin not? Let me clarify my question. The point of this article is not to answer the question, what is ‘a sin.’ But rather, what is sin. A sin (though I’m not answering that…

What is the Christian life?
What is the Christian life?
I want to address the question, what is the Christian life? I want to make an observation of the Lord’s purpose for Christians beyond saying the sinner’s prayer and planning for the remainder of our lives to go to heaven.
Early in my Christian walk, I was faced with many questions regarding my new life’s new purpose. Has my life changed? Should it have? How should it change? What should a…

What is prayer?
The more I learn about living the Christian life, the more I discover I am lacking. That isn’t to say that being a good Christian is impossible. It can, however, be unclear what the proper Christian life consists of. With this blog, I hope to help in this area. This week we will discuss prayer. What is prayer? What isn’t prayer? Why should prayer matter if we are saved by grace?
As always,…

Did God kill several people in the Bible?
Did God kill several people in the Bible?
A reader recently asked me a question I hadn’t heard in several years. It’s a question I used to ask a lot when I was still an atheist: Did God kill people in the Bible?
Yes, God killed a lot of people. Now what? Does that mean…
…there is a God whose ways I question or disagree with?
…that if God were actually real, He never would have killed so many people? Therefore, God must not be real.

What is chastening?
Now that we are Christians, we can expect all rainbows, sunshine, and smooth sailing in our lives, right? Isn’t that what the Bible says? Actually no. The Bible says we should expect tribulation from the world, and chastening from the Lord.
Though God’s chastening is for our good, we rarely identify it as something pleasant. So what is chastening?
As always, please feel free to like, not like, co…

What is sanctification?
In my first few visits to my local church, I encountered more than one word that I did not really understand. One of the first words that sent me to the dictionary was the word sanctification.
Sanctification is one of those dog whistles that pastors expect everyone in attendance to hear. But the new Christians, like me, had to jot this word down and look it up later.
A kind reader named Debbi…

Stepping into the light
If you’re new to Christianity, you’ve likely got a ton of questions. I also have little doubt that for each question, you’ve found several answers. That is the reason for the Saved for Later blog. This week, we will be covering an important action step; that is, stepping into the light.
Questions are great. God is not afraidof your questions. Eventually, however, there will come a point where our…

When I was first saved and began attending church, one of the words I noticed being used rather liberally was the word grace. What is grace?, I wondered. Oddly, it was often a word used in its own definition to define it.
Ya know…grace. It’s like “God’s grace.” Or my personal favorite, that’s why they call it grace.
I hoped it might be helpful to spend some time on the topic of grace. Without an…

Why are there so many versions of the Bible and which one should I read?
I was saved in 2012. In 2011, I was an atheist. I was always very quick to ask (what I thought was) a rhetorical question, “if the Bible is the Word of God, why are there so many versions?”
When I was convincedabout my doubt, I viewed the fact that there were so many versions of the Bible as evidence that there must have been some confusion about the Bible within the Bible community. I was, maybe…

One of the first Christian groups I encountered as a new Christian was the “churchless” Christian movement. If you’ve read my blog before, you know that I am a far bigger fan of Jesus than I am of His followers. I want to give you reasons, however, why this is no reason to avoid going to church.
If you have recently been saved, I’ll be encouragingyou to think critically about the impetus of such…

Just a couple months into reading the Bible for the first time, I came across the character of Solomon. King Solomon is one of my favorite people in the Old Testament. Solomon’s life can be seen as among the most encouraging the Old Testament has to offer. But I suppose that depends on how you look at life.
We learn of Solomon’s life in the Old Testament books of 1 Kings and 2 Chronicles. We…

Welcome to the kingdom
When I first came to Christ, I joined a men’s group at my church. I was given the opportunity to give my testimony, (the story of the events leading up to my conversion). I was applauded, congratulated, patted on the back, prayed for, and warned.

Before I read the Bible for the first time, I knew there were many Bible heroes. What I did not know was what made them Bible heroes. Would you believe that every hero in the Bible had one thing in common?
I was 43 years old before finishing my first reading. There were many characters with many different backgrounds, lineages, and titles. I expected that I would be reading about many examples of…
