Bible

The Bible is your guidebook for all matters of the Christian Faith, and life in general.

Protestant Christians believe that the Bible is the ‘sole authority for matters of faith and practise’. That means that all standards for truth are tested against the Bible.

Why?

Because Christians believe that the Bible is God’s Word, faithfully given to us to guide us.

If God is perfectly holy, all-powerful and all knowing, then His Bible must contain any errors.

All posts in this category are all about the Christian Bible itself, what we know about it, what it says, why we can trust it, and how to read it and understand its message.

Most one-year Bible reading plans usually require you to read 3-4 Chapters everyday without missing a single day.

It’s not long before you fall so far behind that you give up. I know I have.

In this post I share with you:

  1. A Bible reading plan you can easily fit into any busy schedule or lifestyle
  2. A super simple bar chart that cuts all the effort out of planning
  3. Pro tips and tricks for transforming this plan into a life-long habit (that I have honed over many years of success and failure)

This Bible reading plan is perfect for anyone who has really struggled to make Bible reading a daily habit, or anyone who thinks they don’t have time to read the bible everyday.

This plan really works and, best of all, you can start using it right now.

What kind of Christian are you? A lesson from the parable of the sower

by

Did you grow up in church?

Do you ever doubt your faith, or wonder if you could be getting it all wrong?

The prodigal son is truly the exception to the rule today.

The heartbreaking reality is that the church is in decline. More importantly, it’s the youngest generations that are turning their backs the fastest. Something like 59% of youth, raised in the church, will leave and never come back.

Why is this?

What the hell is going on?

I mean we have bright fancy lights and loud music. We have trendy pastors who wear ripped jeans and printed tee’s right? What more do these kids want?

Maybe the church is simply becoming less ‘relevant’. Maybe they are learning the ‘truth’ at school and university. Maybe it’s social media and the ‘fake news’.

Or is it something simpler?

As usual, I think the Bible can give us some clues as to why this might be happening.

Why You’re Probably Doing Worship Wrong

by

The Oxford English Dictionary

Worship

noun/verb

  • The feeling or expression of (or to show) reverence and adoration for (or to) a deity.

When asked most Christians will give a well rehearsed answer to the question ‘What is worship?’ along the lines of ‘oh it means giving praise and honour to God’. Some might go a little further and say ‘oh yes, you can worship anytime, anywhere’.

No Christian I know would disagree that worship is something that you can do any time, any where. Prayer, communion, music – all these things count as worship.

In practice however, actual worship is something entirely different.

This is a problem.

Ten Signs Debunked

by

This post is debunking a very popular, and old, meme that has been circulating the internet for a long time and is titled “ten signs you are an unquestioning Christian”.

There’s a lot of misinformation out there about Christianity and Creation. Actually there’s a lot of misinformation out there about everything.

I can’t remember how I came across this anonymous placard. I just know that I’ve held onto it for years. I figured that one day if I happen to do something like say, start a blog, I would go through it point by point and explain why it was hogwash.

So that’s what I’ve done.
