Internal Struggles of a Christian

As a Christian, so often we hear from our leaders about the wonders of Christ and all we have to do is believe in Him, then all our troubles will magically disappear. In reality, we know this is not exactly how it is. The Lord is inviting us to partake in all the goodness He has to offer and once we make a commitment to Him, we are released from the chains of sin, we are given power over sin and our eyes are opened to the ways of the Lord.

Christ expects you to use this power, wisdom and strength to learn to live according to His principles.

Those Tall Tales of Biblical Disasters

Despite what you might hear in church, or view on Christian websites, the Bible isn’t all about those ten Godly commandments, loving your neighbour, doing onto others, mercy, forgiveness, compassion, truth, justice and everlasting life. Star Wars aside, there’s a dark side to the Force. Even apart from hell, fire and brimstone and lots of sins and sinning, there’s much death and destruction all around.

Some Differences Between Catholics and Protestants

The differences between Catholics and Protestants can be profound at times. None would argue that Christianity is a major monotheistic world religion. Yet, the divisions within the ranks of Christendom are well documented. However, all of its adherents believe in its central figure, Jesus, the Christ, who lived a sinless life and died on a cross to redeem mankind.

Isaiah 2 – The Mountain of God

Prior to seeing things as they actually are in his beloved Jerusalem, Isaiah prophesies a vision of the future house of God. All peoples will come to this mountain of God; to the light of the LORD’S teaching and to walk in his path alone.
