O through R
What do ordain, rapture, redeem, repent, revelation and righteous mean in the Bible?

Prophesy
Who is a prophet? What spiritual message should you believe?

Religion and the Christian
Religion is a hard word to define. I am a Christian; therefore, Christianity is my religion. Does that describe what I believe or what I do with what I believe?

S Words
What do salvation, sanctification, secular, sin, and supplication mean?

Sanctification - Spiritual Growth
When I first became a Christian I didn’t know what it meant. I have since discovered that many new believers and even some long-time Christians don’t have a comfortable grasp of the meaning of sanctification.

Satan - or the Devil
Who is Satan? Is he real or is he a myth? What does the Bible say about Satan?

Sin - What is it ?
We all have our own definition of sin, drawn from what makes sense to us. According to the Bible, sin is failing to live up to God’s standard of righteousness.

Spiritual Growth
In the Christian faith, one might be referred to as a baby Christian or as a mature Christian. This doesn’t relate ones age or to how long one has been a believer so much as how he puts Christ's teachings into practice.

Suffering
If God is loving and kind, why is there pain and suffering in the world? Why does He allow it?

Temptation
We usually think of temptation as something that grabs our attention and causes us to do something that we shouldn't. As Christians, we call that sin.

Testament
Today, we find the Scriptures grouped under Old Testament and New Testament.

Testify, Testimony
In Christian circles, we often hear of someone giving their testimony. It is the story of how God has worked in their life.

Transgression
This is a word that was not in my vocabulary before reading it in the Bible.

Worship
Formal Worship. Often called praise and worship...
