It’s important for Christians to think carefully and biblically about everything… but in today’s climate, it’s especially important to think well about issues of sexuality and identity.
Andy Naselli writes about the issues that plagued the first-century church in Corinth, and how the gospel addresses issues like favoritism, sexual sin, and theological errors.
William Lane Craig speaks at Johnson Ferry Baptist Church in 2012 on the importance of an engaged mind to we who follow Jesus, and its implications for those who doubt.
Sally asked about Kenneth Copeland's teaching on "the law of faith," where he cites Mark 11:12-24. In that passage, Jesus cursed a fig tree and it withered. He points to this passage as an example of using words to change reality, and suggests that we can do the same. Is he right?
Questions about God are always important! Whenever we try to describe God, words will always fall short. We simply don't know everything about God. We don't even have an earthly parallel to God, so we can't study things that are like God to discover more about Him. Every analogy is incomplete in some way.
I'm happy to see that you're looking for a second opinion on whether anyone, including Hank Hanegraaff, is a false teacher. That's wise. This article is based on an email exchange and is a work in progress. It's designed to continue the conversation about false teachers, not to end it.

While much of the brick-and-mortar world was shut down, the internet was alive. I'd like to say 'alive and well,' but we all know that wouldn't exactly be true.
A lot of GodWords readers consider themselves "Torah-observant." They believe that Christians are to live by the same laws given to the ancient Israelites. A primary verse in their argument is Matthew 5:17, where Jesus says that He came not to abolish the Law and the Prophets, but to fulfill them. Are they right? Are Christians under the law?
Is the Kingdom of Heaven the same as the Kingdom of God? Are they different? If they're the same, why do different books of the Bible use different words to describe the same thing? What does each phrase mean? The Bible is complicated. While it looks like a single book, it's really a group of 66 unique books.
Unfortunately, Myles Munroe was a false teacher. I don’t say that gladly. He was by all accounts a happy man, an engaging speaker, and a skilled leader of leaders. He could have done much more for the Kingdom of God had he clearly taught what we find in the Scriptures. Instead, Myles Munroe taught heretical Word of Faith doctrines.
