Salvation is a free gift that once you receive it, you gladly in your heart understand that it costs everything. If you think you have Jesus on one hand holding on to the world with the other, you're flat out wrong. That's not salvation—that's religion.

Which makes you healthier—generating positive thinking or eliminating negative thinking? Turns out 70% of health improvements come from eliminating the negative. Here are the five C's destroying your peace and what Scripture says about transforming your mind.

A leper—walking death, isolated, hopeless—pushed through a hostile crowd for one minute with Jesus. Others would have stoned him. Jesus touched him. The corruption didn't transfer to Christ. Christ's cleansing transferred to the leper. That's still how it works today.

"Jesus accepts you just the way you are." Sounds nice, right? But it's a dangerous half-truth infiltrating the church. Here are 5 more demonic trends masquerading as biblical teaching—and how to spot them.

Jesus told a parable about four soils—but only one produced real fruit. Look closer: there are four hearers, three conversions, and two are false. What separates authentic faith from the counterfeit? It's time to examine yourself and see whether you are truly in the faith.

Ten demonic trends are infiltrating the church right now. Not subtle theological quibbles—full-blown deceptions designed to twist Scripture and lead believers astray. Here's how to spot them.

AI deep fakes. Spiritual hypothermia. Wars and rumors of wars. The 2026 forecast is stormy—but there's a shelter. Your Bible, your prayer life, and your church are the jacket, heater, and umbrella you need to weather what's coming.

Think of the Bible like a buffet table with 66 dishes. You get a small taste from each, but you'll know what that flavor is—and then you'll have a full plate. Genesis 1:1 through Revelation 22:21. So, let's go.

Christmas will be gone in a week. Or will it? The Lamb was promised, prepared, and provided. When Simeon held the 40-day-old Messiah, he couldn't contain his praise. If you understand what Christ has done for you—praise is just the result. You can't help it.

200 years ago, Christmas dinner was a high-stakes performance. No refrigeration. No timers. Six hours to boil a figgy pudding. Getting it all on the table at once? That was a Christmas miracle.

Those swaddling clothes weren't just blankets. In Bethlehem, they wrapped spotless lambs' feet so they'd never touch the ground—marking them for sacrifice. When Mary wrapped Jesus that way, she marked him as the one. The Lamb of God had arrived.

What's real and what's not? In a world of manufactured controversies and media manipulation, believers need to step back and focus on what matters. Plus: weird Christmas traditions from around the world—from Japan's KFC obsession to Venezuela's roller-skating masses.
