Christian Living

If you are in an abusive relationship with someone suffering from NPD (or if you are dating a narcissist), then there is hope! God has not left us without help when it comes to dealing with this kind of person in our lives.

The book of 3 John is the shortest book in the bible, containing only 15 verses. It is a letter written by the apostle John to Gaius, who was a friend of his. This letter was probably written sometime between AD 90 and 96. The word "truth" is mentioned only six times. Giaus is celebrated for his commitment to service. While at the same time, John rebukes the actions of Diotrephes (a church member who is causing issues).

Jesus is often depicted as a tall, lean man who towers over his disciples. Scholars tend to agree that Jesus was about 5'7" (1.70m), or slightly taller than average for a man of his day. A recent study finds that the average height of an adult male in first-century Palestine was 5'3". In order to understand how tall Jesus was compared to other men, we need to know what he looked like and where he came from.

The Bible says that all sin is a violation of God's law. It's an offense against God and it causes us to lose relationship with Him. But the good news is that Christ rescues us from our sins and offers us life in His kingdom.

The book of revelation, also known as the Apocalypse of John, is one of the most important books in the Bible. It was written by John, an apostle who lived on Patmos, an island off the coast of modern-day Turkey. This article explores what context around this book may have been and if there is any evidence that John was not in fact its author.

The conversation of biblical age has been fascinating to observe over the years. Scholars have debated if time and hours were counted the same, but to me the most important observation to make is the command from God. At this time, mankind was given the assignment to multiply and populate the earth (Genesis 1:28).

The story of Jesus' first miracle is found in the gospel of John, chapter 2. The wedding scene is the first time that we hear about Jesus changing water into wine during his ministry (John 2:1-11). The Greek word translated as "belief" in the New Testament comes from two words that mean "to be persuaded." This miracle has far-reaching implications for what it means to believe in Jesus.

Cain and Abel were the first two sons of Adam and Eve. Cain was a farmer, while Abel was a shepherd. Both brothers made sacrifices to God, but God accepted only Abel's offering. This made Cain jealous of his brother and angry that God would accept someone else's sacrifice before his own. So he killed Abel—and this is why we're not supposed to be jealous.
