Why Lust Kills Everyone: A Wake-Up Call to the Modern Church

Why Lust Kills Everyone: A Wake-Up Call to the Modern Church

Spiritual Growth
A full exposition of Paul Washer’s teaching on sexual immorality, sanctification, and the deadly spiral of lust. Introduction: The Sin That Slowly Murders the Soul There is a reason Scripture speaks with terrifying clarity about lust. Not because God wants to ruin joy, but because He wants to prevent destruction. As Paul Washer warns, no man suddenly falls. They slide—inch by inch, compromise by compromise—until conscience evaporates and darkness devours them. Lust kills.It kills marriages.It kills ministries.It kills purity.It kills spiritual discernment.And ultimately—if left unchecked—it kills the soul. Washer’s words cut like a surgical blade: “I am sick and tired of hearing men whine about the power of this when I know God has given us power over it.” This is not a light issue.This is not “every man’s struggle.”This…

How Jesus Defines Work: A Biblical Perspective That Frees, Heals, and Uplifts

Daily Life, Spiritual Growth
Introduction: The World Measures You by Productivity — Jesus Never Did Our culture says: “You matter if you earn money.” “Your value is in your job.” “Productivity equals worth.” But Jesus never taught that. In Scripture, identity is rooted in who you are in God, not in what you produce for society, the job you have, your title, how much you have in your bank account, working 9 to 5. God never commanded anyone to “be valuable by earning a salary.”He commanded us to be faithful, obedient, and devoted to His purposes. So what is “work” in the eyes of Jesus? Let’s build this from Scripture — especially correcting the misunderstanding around 2 Thessalonians 3:6–15. 1. “Work” in the Bible Does Not Mean “Paid Employment” Scripture uses two major words for…

Kill Anger by Killing Your Ego (Die Of Self Everyday)

Kill Anger by Killing Your Ego (Die Of Self Everyday)

Spiritual Growth
Anger has become so normal in today’s world that many Christians don’t even recognize it as a threat anymore. But Scripture speaks very differently. The Bible doesn’t treat anger like a personality issue, a temperament struggle, or a justified reaction. It treats anger like a deadly spiritual plague. And the truth is blunt: Anger survives wherever the ego lives.Anger dies wherever pride is crucified. If you want freedom from anger, you don’t start by fixing your emotions — you start by killing the thing that feeds them: your ego. 1. Anger Is Not a Small Problem — It Is a Spiritual Cancer The world treats anger like it’s natural. They say: “Everyone gets angry.” “You have a right to be offended.” “If someone disrespects you, you defend yourself.” But Scripture…

The “Rewritten Bible” Myth: How the Qur’an Itself Confirms the Bible’s Authority

The “Rewritten Bible” Myth: How the Qur’an Itself Confirms the Bible’s Authority

Apologetics
Before discussing manuscript evidence or history, let’s start right where the Muslim argument self-destructs: the Qur’an itself. The Qur’an commands Muslims to believe in the Torah (Old Testament) and the Gospel (New Testament): Surah 5:46–47 — “We sent Jesus, the son of Mary, confirming the Torah that had come before Him, and We gave Him the Gospel… Let the people of the Gospel judge by what Allah has revealed therein.” Surah 3:3–4 — “He has revealed to you the Book with truth, confirming what was before it. And He revealed the Torah and the Gospel before, as guidance for mankind.” Surah 10:94 — “If you are in doubt about what We have revealed to you, then ask those who have been reading the Scripture before you.” These are not obscure…

The Fallen Hosts: How Thousands of Cast-Down Angels Still Shape the World Today

News & Discernment
  1. The Great Rebellion in Heaven Before there was sin on earth, there was pride in Heaven.Lucifer—once radiant, wise, and adorned with light—turned from worship to ambition. He coveted the throne of God.Isaiah 14:13–14 records his delusion: “For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God… I will be like the Most High.” But Heaven has no rivals.Lucifer and all who followed him—a third of the angelic host, according to Revelation 12:4—were cast out.That means thousands upon thousands of powerful spiritual beings, once ministers of light, became agents of corruption. They did not vanish.They were cast down to the earth, and they have been working here ever since—through nations, ideologies, religions, music, entertainment, governments, and culture.…

The Ants in the Jar Analogy Imagine a jar filled with ants. Left alone, the ants crawl around, occasionally bumping into each other, but they coexist. Now imagine someone comes and shakes the jar. Suddenly, the ants go wild, attacking each other as if they are the problem. But here’s the truth: the real problem is not the ants — it’s the one shaking the jar. The question is who is doing the shaking? This analogy is from the author Kurt Vonnegut.  This is exactly what has been happening in the United States for a while now. Americans are fighting each other, convinced that their neighbor is the enemy, while ignoring the bigger reality: the jar has been shaken. Media, political leaders, cultural influencers — all have fueled anger and division.…

Why study the life of Daniel? When the world pressures us to abandon our values… When the culture demands that we give in or stay silent… We need to remember Daniel.

Why study the life of Stephen? Sometimes we believe that only those who do "great things" are the ones who shape history. But Stephen teaches us that a short life, when filled with the Spirit, can have more impact than a thousand empty words. Studying Stephen is to gaze into the face of someone who wasn’t afraid to die—because he was already fully living for Christ. It is to see how a death in faith can ignite a flame that would reach the apostle Paul… and far beyond. Brief Biography Name: Stephen (Stephanos in Greek, meaning “crown” or “crowned”) Background: Greek name; likely a Greek-speaking Jew (Hellenist) Era: Mid-1st century A.D.
