Matthew 5:13 Losing Your Saltiness

 

Losing saltiness, being thrown out, and being trampled underfoot are harsh descriptions of what believers can face. So we must understand what Jesus meant by this warning. Join me as I bring clarity to this verse and determine what it means for a Christian to lose their saltiness.

Can you be saved but not sanctified?

 

Salvation and sanctification are inexplicably linked. To what degree depends on how you define them. Until you recognize how the two are synchronized, you will struggle to rest in the finished work of Jesus Christ and be loved by God. The result will be a life of trying to earn by deeds what has already been given to you by faith. Join me as I sort this out for you.

1 Timothy 6:10 Wandered From The Faith

 

Many conditional statements in the Bible are used to support the belief that a Christian can lose their salvation. One of those statements is "wandered from the faith." However, when you study this statement in context, you discover that it is not about salvation at all. Join me as we discover what Christians are wandering away from.

What is the truth about faith and works?

 

Galatians 3:12 draws a hard line. Paul shows that any system built on obedience, rituals, or performance is a works-based life, not the life of grace. Scripture repeats this truth with force: justified by faith, apart from works; saved by mercy, not deeds; grace collapses the moment works are added. Romans, Galatians, Titus, and Ephesians all declare the same reality. It's up to you to decide what reality you will live in.

1 Thessalonians 3:4-5 Labored in Vain

Paul feared for the Thessalonian church. So much so that he sent Timothy to strengthen and encourage them. Some Christians have concluded that Paul's fear related to the possibility of the Thessalonians losing their salvation. In this video, we will explore what motivated Paul's concern for the Thessalonians.

What does Paul's use of "if" actually mean in 1 Corinthians 15:1 and 2?

 

Paul says we're "saved if we hold firmly to the Gospel." Was he warning believers, or revealing something deeper about the very nature of real faith? In this short, we dig into the Greek, the context, and the one thing that makes belief either solid or empty. If you've ever wondered what "believing in vain" really means, this will change how you read 1 Corinthians 15 forever.

1 Timothy 1:18-20 Shipwrecked Faith

What if nothing is missing in your walk with God?

 

There's a claim in Scripture that, if true, changes everything about who Jesus is and what it means to belong to Him. It's a line that speaks to identity, authority, and the kind of security most people never realize they already have. This short unpacks a truth that shows why nothing in heaven, on Earth, or in the unseen realm can add to what He's already done, and why those who are His aren't missing a single thing.

2 Peter 2:20-22 Entangled and Overcome

 

A passage that sounds like a warning to Christians is actually talking about a different group of people. In this video, we break down 2 Peter 2: 20-22 and uncover whom Peter is actually describing, why their condition becomes "worse," and how the imagery of corruption, entanglement, and returning to filth fits into the larger message of the chapter.

Does obedience to the Mosaic Law determine who goes to heaven?

If obeying the Ten Commandments isn't hard enough, some people want to add another 603 commandments to that list. I don't think people understand what they are getting themselves into when it comes to living a life under the law. Join me as I answer this question about the Mosaic Law and heaven.

Hebrews 6:4-6 Mission: Impossible - Back To Repentance

Hebrews 6:4-6 is one of the most debated passages in the New Testament. A passage that says it's impossible to be brought back to repentance. But what does that mean? In this video, I will unpack the language of "tasting the heavenly gift," "sharing in the Holy Spirit," and falling away." In this video, we will also discover whom the author of Hebrews was writing to and what the warning that he gave was about.

Are Christians under a "Renewed" Covenant

 

In the Bible, "renew" means to restore, make new, or transform something broken or worn down back to its intended, vibrant state through God's power. While the concept of "new" means total spiritual transformation, fresh divine action, and a shift from old ways to eternal life through Jesus Christ. It points to a deep inner change rather than just a time update. With those definitions in mind, let's see which one applies to the covenant Christians are under.

Acts 15:10 Unbearable

 

A crisis hits the early church, and one question threatens to split everything apart: what truly saves a person? Acts 15 pulls us into a debate that exposes a burden no one could carry, a freedom no one expected, and a truth that still confronts believers today. This video traces the moment the apostles had to choose between an old yoke and a new way-and why that choice still matters.

What does "die to self" mean?

 

The Bible never uses the exact wording "die to self." But, the term is often used by Christians to explain "surrendering your own personal will and selfish desires to align your life with God's will" or to explain "the shift from living to please yourself to living to love God and serve others." However, those terms are vague and the means by which to achieve all of this is open-ended. However, in this video you will discover how to "die to self" is simpler to explain and rooted in a basic understanding of God's love for His children.

Do Our Works Justify Our Faith?

 

To justify inserting works into the Christian life, people will say that our works justify our faith. However, if we believe this, we must verify that it is supported by the Bible. Furthermore, the definition of justify means something different than the way it's been used. In this YouTube Short, I answer if works justify our faith.

What Do Demons Believe?

There is a difference between what demons believe about God and what Christians believe regarding the Gospel? However, there are some who will blend the two to make it seem as if the demons and certain Christians believe the same thing. The reason they do this is more than just a misreading of scripture. There is something more sinister at play. Join me as I talk about the true motives behind why some Christians misquote James.

Should we give our lives to Jesus?

 

A common phrase used when evangelizing is to tell a person to "give their lives to Jesus." While God can use this, there is no mention of what Jesus gives to the person. Is salvation about giving yourself to God, or is there something far greater that takes place when we believe the Gospel?

Galatians 3:23-25 No Longer Under A Tutor

 

The purpose of going to school is to graduate with the knowledge to use to help guide you through life. Tutors are often used to help you better understand the material so you can graduate. How would it look if someone stayed in school all their life, constantly being tutored, and never graduated? There are many Christians who think never graduating is how you live the Christian life. In this video, I explain how this is done.
