It is a topic that is familiar to us all. Even those we consider to be invincible in spirituality have been vulnerable to this poison; and all of us have drowned in it. What is sin?

Sin: An immoral act against a divine law.

Some have also defined this way: Sin is a failure to let God be God and placing something or someone in God’s rightful place of supremacy. There are times when we cherish money, possessions, ambitions, other relationships, and much more above the glory of God. There are times when we try to be the god of our own lives and not joyfully submit to Jesus; and most of the time, we disobey willingly and repeatedly. We exchange the glory of the Creator for the glory of created things (Romans 1:18-25).

The Problem: Why Do We Sin?

A child of Jesus does not need to defend themselves as God is their defender!

Let God be God today.

16 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. 17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us[a] from Your Majesty’s hand. 18 But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.”

Now that we have acquired a better understanding of the person of God during the first segment of this series, our study will focus on how we were created by God; separated by sin; and saved by His grace.

Created in His Image

Humanity came into existence when God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them” (Gen. 1:26, 27). God created man in His image and likeness.

But have you ever wondered what it means to be created in God’s likeness? Continue Reading

Rev. David Yonggi Cho, Senior Pastor in one of the world’s largest churches (with more than 800,000 members) said: Every morning when I awake, I greet the Holy Spirit and invite Him to go with me through the day and take the lead in all my affairs, and He does. I say, “Good morning Holy Spirit. Let’s work together today and I will be Your vessel.” Every evening before retiring I say again, “It’s been a wonderful day working with You, Holy Spirit.”

What is amazing is that the Holy Spirit who is available for Rev. David Yonggi Cho is available for every believer who believes in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

Who is Jesus? Answering a Question That Millions Have Asked

January 11, 2012 in Spirituality with 5 Comments

Here’s a question asked by 24,900,000 people on a monthly average on Google alone. And this is not taking into consideration other search-engines like Yahoo, Bing and so forth… So, who is Jesus?

Everyone must come to a decision about Him. There is no middle ground we can take. While some have dismissed Jesus as a fictional character, others have attempted to portray Him as merely a good teacher. However, both of these assumptions are terribly inconsistent. The truth is, there is no person in human history like the person of Jesus Christ. No serious historian would doubt his existence without risking his own credibility.

Considering that we have more historical documentation on Jesus Christ than anyone else in history is staggering. Consider for a moment that a person as widely accepted as Alexander the Great has five ancient sources dated 300 years after his death to attest to his existence.

Father God and His Heart For Us – 30 Bible Study Series

January 10, 2012 in Spirituality with 8 Comments

As you grow spiritually, God’s desire is that you increasingly know Him as Father and His Father-heart in your life each day.

One of the great declarations of the Bible is that God is Our Father. The Bible tells us of the amazing closeness, intimacy, warmth and tender-heartedness of God, Our Father. When received through faith in Jesus Christ and acted upon, this truth gives amazing freedom and power in our lives as believers.

Unfortunately in societies around the world today, there are many “fathers” but few “good fathers.” Continue Reading
