As an underground contemporary Christian music (particularly, hip-hop) artist, I believe that Christians have a right to do so. And I also believe that only a spirit of legalism would tell him that rock is of the devil and therefore Christians shouldn't listen to it.
The Bible says "The (... więcej)

Somebody asked, "Why take so much interest in theology when you're just a children's department teacher? You're not a pastor, are you?"
First of all, in my humble opinion, I think that question is a bit of nonsense. To say that only pastors should study theology is somewhat (... więcej)

I was reviewing my Sunday school lesson for September 20, 2015 and the passage that I was meditating on was Mark 5:21-43. To be honest, I was tempted to settle with simply teaching my young pupils that Jesus is the Miracle Maker. But as I was meditating on the passage, I was reminded of these four wonderful (... więcej)

The Trinitarian nature of God (i.e., God existing in three equally Divine Persons, and yet being one God) just one of the incomprehensible teachings in Biblical orthodoxy - meaning, no human mind (which is just finite and therefore limited) can fully comprehend this teaching. As it is written in Deuteronomy (... więcej)

* "Salvation is not a license to sin. A true Christian will continue to do good work, as Christians are not only appointed by God to be saved but they are also appointed to do good works before the foundation of the world. “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this not (... więcej)

I believe that only those who do not know what life is should fear death.
First of all, if a person would only observe the diversities in life, he should be convinced that there is one God Who created it. This should cause him to have a conscientious feeling that he might be offending this God in (... więcej)

Repentance is not only a matter of what one should turn from but also of Whom one should turn to. For repentance is a redirection of what the heart wants or so desires from something to something else. In it, the heart changes its course of direction and makes a half round turn from its former way; for (... więcej)

Let me get this right. So, aborting a human fetus is a woman's right, but cooking an underdeveloped duckling is wrong? Seriously, American liberals?
Okay, so when we Christians and conservatives protest against abortion, you'll say, "That's just a clump of tissue." Oh, well. (... więcej)

“Why can’t the rich people just be satisfied with the money that they have?”, a friend asked in Facebook.
First of all, this is not to generalize that all rich people are greedy. We’re not discounting the possibility that there are actually rich people who wish they can’t get any (... więcej)

I remember a time when my Mom asked me to play my song on her phone. After playing it, I jokingly asked her, "So now, you love hip-hop?" She frankly replied (well, she's an Ilocana, so it's very natural that she would), "No, I hate [hip-hop]. I only listened to this song because (... więcej)

COME TO THINK OF IT:
By nature, we don't want a God Who would tell us what to do and what not to do. So, it's either we'll just imagine a version of God Who's okay with everything that we do - after all, He is forgiving; or, we'll just totally suppress the (... więcej)

"In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes." - Judges 21:25, KJV
These past few years, I've been frequently hearing news about people committing some extremely unacceptable crimes. And whenever I hear a news like those, (... więcej)

Well, the "philosophical"/figurative heart and and the mind are essentially one. The "philosophical"/figurative heart is the vessel of thoughts and passions; therefore, it is in the same faculty with the mind.
And here's a problem: the heart/mind of man is corrupted (... więcej)

I just read a post in the Facebook with a statement that says something like this:

"Piety towards God and servitude towards men."
That is the code of honor that I'm trying to live up to. But I'll be honest - it's very difficult code of honor to live up to; at least, in two parts.
First part is the "piety towards God". In philosophy, piety (... więcej)

As most of those who are acquainted wth me knows, I was a terrible porn addict when I was younger. And as a former porn addict, I believe I have the legitimacy to say that porn is NOT for real men.
But then, what is my definition of "being a real man" at the first place? As a Christian, (... więcej)

Truth is, if God is Who really He says He is, we don't want God to be wholly true. We all want God to be just loving and just merciful, but we don't want Him to be perfectly merciful and at the same time, perfectly just. Because that's what He says He is and therefore, what He really is; (... więcej)

Before you use a term in sharing the Gospel message through literature, you have to be careful in doing so. Before using it, you have to be sure of what it means exactly. It's even wiser to first define the term properly for the readers before the further use of it. Otherwise, an audience might (... więcej)

To all my Protestant brothers who are unwittingly embracing doctrinal relativism,
Greetings!
First of all, let me clarify that I have no problems with the idea of Protestants and Catholics living together peacefully in a community. As a matter of fact, I have Catholic friends and I love (... więcej)

I just recently understood why the NYer animal rights activists want to ban balut in their state. I believe that the actual reason behind this is the fact that common sense is exponentially becoming a very scarce commodity in America... or pretty much, in this progressivistic world.
So, to the animal (... więcej)

A man that I deeply respect once said that "A happy wife equals a happy life." Well, he's married; so obviously, I believe him in that statement.
Problem is, that statement makes me hate the fact that I'm single. To be honest, I want to experience those joyfully painful headaches (... więcej)

Before you accuse me of being brainwashed by these people that you call "churchians," please know that I was once like you people who had so many doubts with Christianity.
I tell you what - I grew up in an ideally disappointing Evangelical family. With that kind of environment, I have (... więcej)

The perfectly loving God doesn't just love mercy - He also loves justice and righteousness (Jeremiah 9:24). God already made a way for sinners to be forgiven and be redeemed from the curse of sin through the atoning sacrifice of Christ on the cross - and this is how the perfect mercy, perfect justice, (... więcej)

God, Who are You in this life of mine?
You are the very Source of it. You are the Creator of all things, and none of all that began to exist existed apart from Your wonderful and unimaginable power of creation. From the farthest stars in the heavens to the abysmal depths of the (... więcej)

A brother in a Christian forum asked this topical question, "If you die right at this very moment, do you have assurance of going to heaven?"
By the following points, I have the assurance that I am saved:
In light of the Scriptures, I know that I am saved because I see in my life how (... więcej)

DISCLAIMER: This only applies to the case of those who died in infancy. In no way does this imply universalist soteriology. Remember that God in His sovereignty has an appointed time for the salvation of every individual believer (Acts 13:48) - and that includes the infants.
How does God redeem (... więcej)

"Moreover, the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, so that he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had spoken to Moses."
- Exodus 9:12, MEV
Why did God hardened Pharaoh's heart? Because he committed the only unforgivable sin - to resist and blaspheme (i.e. to be defiantly irreverent (... więcej)

Somebody (who is presumably a charismatic "Christian" of cultish kind) called me a "false teacher" just because my view about Christian perfection seems to be different from his own view.
I do agree with him that true Christians strive for spiritual perfection (Matthew 5:48). (... więcej)

A friend in Facebook complains in her post, "Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot, I only exist we you need something." I'm not sure whether or not she actually meant to address it to somebody. But I can only imagine if God will say the same complaint to us. And to be honest, I sometimes wonder (... więcej)
