Cultural Lies: Building on Rock or Sand?

The current culture presents conflicting ideas about truth, especially the notion of "my truth," which undermines objective reality. Recognizing and countering these cultural lies with Biblical principles is crucial for maintaining faith. By understanding salvation through Jesus and scriptural teachings, believers can build their lives on a solid, truthful foundation.

A Brief Overview of Rights, Privileges and Entitlements

Let's look at rights and their foundational role in protecting freedoms, categorized into negative and positive rights. Negative rights prevent actions infringing on individual freedoms, while positive rights require certain actions from others. We'll also mention the ongoing debate regarding the classification of modern claims such as health care and education as rights versus entitlements.

Are All Sins Equal?

We discuss whether or not all sins are equal, and talk about how we understand sin impacts our feelings of guilt and justice. While some biblical passages suggest all sins are equal, others indicate differing severities of sin and punishment. Ultimately, the question depends on what you mean by "equal."
