The “third use” of the Law?
My sister is telling me God wants us to balance law and grace. She refers to Luther’s “third use of the law.” What are your thoughts?

Do Christians really “backslide”? No!

Are all sins equal? What about consequences? And what about judgment and punishment? I drank an energy drink, and now I’m afraid I took the mark of the beast! I visit church services of many denominations, and I wonder what’s most important to look for in a church?

What does it mean to believe in the name of Jesus? I don’t understand James 3:1. Will preachers be judged more harshly? When I sin, how much remorse should I feel for it to be true repentance? What about people who think they need to keep the Ten Commandments? Are they saved?

And then all those feelings were lost. Now I’m just confused. Have I committed the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? Can you […]
