I’m a Christian because when I hear Jesus’ voice, it stirs me. I am drawn to it like a child is drawn to a parent’s voice.

It’s actually evil to worship God, read the Bible, pray, or do good works if the reason you’re doing them is to try to get God to do something you want Him to do. The reason why it's evil is because you are using God as a tool instead of treating Him like a Person.

The moment my “devotions” become bargaining chips, I’m no longer worshiping God. Instead, I’m worshiping the thing I’m trying to manipulate Him into giving me. The outward actions may look holy, but the inward posture is corrupt. It’s relationally disordered.

Jesus didn't criticized the Pharisees for praying or fasting, He criticized them for doing those things with self-serving motives. When spiritual practices become transactional, they stop being communion and start being idolatry.

The solution isn’t to pray less, read less, or serve less.
The solution is to recover the real purpose of those practices: to know God, love God, enjoy God, and align ourselves with His will.
Worship becomes worship again when God is the end not the means.

Sin is just not loving something properly. If you think that someone has not loved you or something else the way they should have then you believe in sin.

The Christian God is the ultimate precondition from which all extrapolations are derived. He is also the framework of any worldview that includes Him. If He is not considered, then that worldview’s foundation is in error—and that error permeates it throughout.

Faith is belief that results in action. The strength and reasonableness of that belief can range from a mere guess to a well-grounded conviction.

In Islam, the greatest sin is shirk. Shirk is associating partners with God, which is considered blasphemous.

Islamic law has often treated public blasphemy, including claims that Jesus is the Son of God, as a grave offense, sometimes even punishable by death.

That means preaching the Gospel can sometimes be dangerous certain Islamic contexts.

As Christians, we must still proclaim the truth of Christ with love and courage.
We’re called to love our Muslim neighbors, even when our beliefs stand in direct conflict or when some may regard us as enemies.
“If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” (Romans 12:18)

It’s important for us to understand what our own values are, so that we can see where we may be misaligned with Christ.

2 Corinthians 13:5: “Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves.”

When we identify those misalignments, we can invite the Holy Spirit to guide us through transformation. Let’s move away from living by our own priorities and strive to embody Christlike values such as humility, love, forgiveness, and obedience.

When it comes to whether there’s a true religion, the answer isn’t nearly as ambiguous as some people imagine it to be.

If you actually look at the world, theism, and especially Christian theism, fits it too well for “nonresistant unbelief” to be a stable category.

Many cite “separation of church and state” as a reason to reject laws informed by Christian moral principles. But it never meant that religiously informed moral reasoning should be excluded from the public square. It meant that the state should not establish or control the church.

My deeper concern, however, is that people often use the phrase “separation of church and state” to argue that secularism is the only legitimate basis for legislation. The problem is that secularism offers no coherent vision of what human flourishing actually is. Without an objective understanding of what humans are for, it cannot provide stable guidance for how to promote genuine human good. In practice, this means that moral decisions are made according to shifting cultural preferences rather than enduring truths.

The reality is that there are countless ways to damage human flourishing and far fewer consistent ways to nurture it. Any system without clear moral direction will, over time, drift toward harm. Secularism’s supposed “moral neutrality” doesn’t prevent evil, it unintentionally enables it.

Christianity, by contrast, provides a coherent and time-tested moral framework grounded in the intrinsic worth of every person as made in the image of God. Its vision of flourishing (rooted in properly ordered love, justice, mercy, and truth) has historically produced some of the deepest moral and cultural goods in human history. Secularism, lacking that foundation, has too often eroded the very virtues it inherited from Christianity.

That’s why Christians must be able to articulate and defend Christian principles in the public arena. We must participate in government. We have, after all, a framework that not only defines true human flourishing but shows us how to achieve it.

The claim that there is “too much” evil assumes that we can reliably judge what amount of evil would be unjustifiable for an omniscient and perfectly good being to allow. But since we are not in a position to assess all possible goods and connections between goods and evils, we cannot rationally hold the belief that this much evil is unjustifiable. We certainly do struggle to see the justification, but we cannot reasonably conclude that none exists.

Anything that diverts our ultimate priority from Jesus Christ is demonic.

If your ultimate mission is to find yourself, that is demonic.
If your ultimate goal is to understand the universe, that is demonic.
If your highest pursuit is inner peace, that is demonic.
If your ultimate desire is to draw near to God apart from Jesus Christ, that is demonic.
If your greatest aim is power or influence, that is demonic.
If your ultimate focus is self-improvement, that is demonic.
If your ultimate passion is mastery of your craft, that is demonic.
If your ultimate concern is social reform or equality, that is demonic.
If your ultimate devotion is to defend the widow and the fatherless, that too is demonic.
If your ultimate priority is even ministry itself (helping people understand or grow in faith), that is demonic.

Our ultimate priority must be Jesus Christ Himself. Not merely His teachings, not His example, not His mission, but the whole person Himself.

And the irony of the Kingdom is this: when Christ Himself is sought first, these other missions, goals and pursuits are added in their proper order and measure.
