I can’t stop talking about switching on the divine power to live the Christian life! It’s time to get beyond mere Bible teaching into the laboratory of our daily life and practice being a “believ-ing one.” Ephesians 1:19 says, And what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the operation

The Christian life is not only difficult—it’s impossible! But God commands us to live a life that we can’t live. Does this present a problem? Yes—if you don’t know the secret. What’s worse—people are often taught to live according to the Bible, without the power to fulfill it. That’s enough to make you give up

Does your Bible reading leave you feeling nourished? Does it leave you inwardly satisfied, strengthened and happy in the Lord? Paul exhorted his young co-worker Timothy saying, “If you lay these things before the brothers you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, being nourished with the words of the faith and of the

If we’re honest, most of us would have to agree that our Bible study isn’t what it should be. We know that as Christians we should read and study our Bible, but often, it’s hard to find the time to do it. However, most of us do know that Bible reading is the foundation for

One of my most popular posts in recent months was “Is there a difference between the Spirit and the Soul?” I believe that seeing that we are a three-part vessel with a spirit, soul, and body is crucial to experiencing God’s salvation and living the Christian life. In this post I’ll share a recently released

First Corinthians is one of the unique books in the New Testament that actually shows us the practices of the early church, and how the church was practically built up. Such a building up was not mainly by one person’s speaking but by all the believers’ speaking. First Corinthians 14:3-4 says, “But he who prophesies

I’m really glad you made it to the new Holding to Truth blog site and hope you found the move uneventful. I was afraid for a few days that a failed hosting transfer might cause the whole site to evaporate into the blogosphere, but fortunately that didn’t happen. Then there was the concern that all

What’s the secret of having a fresh, fervent, first and even best love for the Lord Jesus? In the Bible, the Lord definitely commands us to love Him, even with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength (Deut. 6:5; Mark 12:30), and in the book of Revelation, the Spirit says to the church in Ephesus that the one
