Recently I had a conversation with a young believer who had many confused ideas about what it means to be a Christian. She was feeling terrible guilt because she thought she should be able to be perfect all the time, and she was struggling. She was afraid that she would lose God’s love, or that [...]

I have spent many years of my Christian life trying to make myself into this picture~perfect Christian I thought God and everyone else expected me to be. I was taught what was expected of me as soon as I became a believer. Teachers, leaders, and even well meaning friends led me on this path away [...]

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

Many years ago I worked for a small manufacturing company whose founder and president was a believer. He had hired only other believers (from many different denominations) to work in the office, but outsourced some positions to non-believers.
