One of the most pressing questions believers wrestle with today is simple — is salvation truly secure, or is it something that must be maintained through continued faithfulness, obedience, or perseverance? For many sincere Christians, salvation has quietly shifted from a finished work of God into a fragile arrangement dependent on human consistency. The result is often uncertainty instead of …
Beyond Salvation
In this teaching, Marc Dickie delves into the vital topic of spiritual growth and maturity in the Christian life. He challenges believers to move beyond simply being born again, emphasizing the ongoing need for purification, the renewal of the mind, and the practice of consistent moral and ethical choices.

Hating What God Hates
Hating what God hates is not about being judgmental or self-righteous, but rather about aligning ourselves with His perfect and righteous nature. As humans, we are often tempted to make excuses for our actions and justify our sinful behaviors. However, when we truly understand and embrace God’s Word, we realize that sin is not just a list of rules to …
Freedom in Christ
This month the United States of America will celebrate July 4th in remembrance of the ratification of our Declaration of Independence. Both in the preamble and the epilogue they acknowledge the Creator God as the both the author and protector of freedom.

Righteousness: A Way Of Being
I, like many of you grew up believing that my country, the United States of America, was the greatest country on earth. Our founding documents were aligned with righteousness and equality.

God’s Mercy and Compassion
“Mercy triumphs over judgment.” As Jesus said to the Pharisees, “Go, learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’” God’s judgment is tempered by his mercy, the withholding of merited judgment. This was especially exemplified in the life of Jesus. In a culture full of criticism and accusation, mercy is a quality that God cultivates in his people.
Sanctification (Part 1)
Sanctification: Principles Of Walking In The Spirit A “walk” in the Bible is often a metaphor for practical daily living. The Christian life is a journey, and we are to walk it — we are to make consistent forward progress. The biblical norm for all believers is that they walk in the spirit: “If we live in the spirit, let …
God’s Heart For Humanity
The longer I live, the more I appreciate the beauty of the Bible. It remains insightful, refreshing and always peculiar in so many ways. Even after decades of reading and studying I continue to discover nuggets of wisdom that surprise me. In recent years, I have come to especially appreciate the narrative structure of its message. Previously, I was perhaps …
Jesus Messiah
Jesus Messiah. Jesus, God’s Anointed. Jesus Christ. Did you know that Christ is not Jesus’s last name? It’s not, yet for the majority of Christians, this is the unwitting assumption. The fact is, Christ, Christos in the Greek, means what Meshiac in the Hebrew means – ANOINTED. Jesus is God’s Anointed. He was sent to carry out God’s plan for …
Arrabon is Better Then Cinnabon

Please come to the party, as I think you’ll enjoy the festivities. Via what is basically a word study of the word “seed,” we will see how what God …
