belief is seen as something mystical, existential, and defying rational boundaries or requirements. For the Christian in such a context, thinking, theology, and reasoning can be seen as unnecessary distractions to “simple” or “pure” faith.

NO OTHER GODS
You may not worship false idols made out of wood and stone. You may not serve or worship a man-made statue. You may not serve a visible image. But what you might be serving is hidden deep within the walls of your heart. Let Christ search your heart. He knows the depths of your heart and the intimate parts of your soul.
He Laid Down His Life…For Us.
Christ willingly laid down His life for us. He willingly died just for you. He offered His life as a living selfless sacrifice. He loved us so much, that He willingly surrendered His life as a sacrifice for all who would receive Him. Christ was willing to pour out His life as an obedient sacrifice so that you and I can live.
REFLECT IN CHRIST
let God’s Word lead your path. Let His Word transform your heart. Let His Word transform your way of doing things. His Word is not just for Sunday. When you are fed the Word of God, it is meant to be carried out and executed every day and in every area of your life — even in the dark places.
为什么要受苦? –无限的一片(RZIM)
在我就这个话题进行的第一次对话中,我的里贾纳姨妈告诉我,看到她的儿子查尔斯(我的表弟)患有精神疾病是多么困难。作为回应,我分享了一些关于上帝为什么会允许苦难的抽象哲学思想。
Sermon on the Mount – Part 2
The one word for this clear and present danger that every follower of Christ faces is – hypocrisy. And hypocrisy is, in essence, about making the approval and praise of man our top priority.
WHY SUFFERING? – A Slice of Infinity (RZIM)
Suffering is very real and very personal, and since that conversation with my aunt I am always hesitant to address it briefly. Here I hope to suggest only that the question is more complicated than it first appears.
Through Christ You Are Set Free.
“According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:” 2 Peter 1:3 KJV
祂的言语和命令崇拜
根据诗篇14:1-3,没有人了解或追求上帝。罪恶在人心中的影响,让他们以为还有东西在他们中间倾向于寻求主,但痛苦的事实是,我们的心歪斜,只是为了荣耀而寻求敬拜。在生活的每个领域,包括(或可能是)崇拜,都是如此。
罪的本质
如果在上帝的设计中值得和崇拜,那么破碎和自私就是后果的一部分。我们为什么把目光从上帝的爱上移开?因为我们做出了自由选择。我们终止了与祂的关系。这是一个需要解释的问题。
