Is it wrong to get a tattoo? Today’s question is one that might be considered to be in the ‘less significant question’ category. However, tattoos are becoming very popular, they have been over the last several years in particular, and a lot of people are getting them. They’re a fashion statement and so it’s no surprise that Christians might be wondering, “Should I get a tattoo? Is it okay?” I want to commend you if you’re asking that question and wondering about this, because before we do anything, we ought to ask the question, what does the Lord think about what I’m thinking about doing?

What About People Who Have Never Heard About Jesus? Part 2
A Daily Little Lesson
I want to expand a little bit in today’s lesson on the previous lesson where we asked the question, what about people who have never heard the Gospel? Of course, we clearly showed from Scripture that God is speaking to everybody, not necessarily through the Gospel. He’s speaking to them, however, through Creation and through their conscience and, sometimes, through calamities. He expects people to seek Him.
What About People Who Have Never Heard About Jesus? Part 1
A Daily Little Lesson
Today’s question is a great one. What about people who have never heard The Gospel, never heard about Jesus? What’s going to happen when they stand before God? How could it be fair of God to judge them about believing in Jesus or not if they’ve never heard about Him, if they’ve never heard The Gospel?
What is Calvinism?
A Daily Little Lesson
Today’s question, “What is Calvinism,” is a great question. Calvinism is a theological belief about how God saves people, that is how he keeps them out of hell and gets them into heaven. Calvinists uniquely believe that God has sovereignly selected some to be saved, but not all. It’s not God’s will for all people to be saved in Calvinistic theology. He only selected some, in fact, he selected a minority to be saved. The rest, of course by default, he has selected them not to be saved. You can’t have one without the other, okay?

Is It Wrong for a Christian to Serve in the Military? Part 2
A Daily Little Lesson
We’re asking the same question a second time in Part 2 of the question, “Is It Wrong For Christians To Join The Military?” (Read Part 1 here) Today we’re going to try to go a little further in answering this question.
We did discuss last time that going to war does not necessarily preclude the obedience to the commandment, “Love Your Neighbor As Yourself”, because God told the people of Israel to love their neighbors as themselves, but God sent those same people into war.
Is It Wrong for a Christian to Serve in the Military? Part 1
A Daily Little Lesson
Is it wrong for a Christian to serve in the military? Today’s question will take more than just one Little Lesson to answer because of some of the complexities of the issue. Of course, Christians wonder about this sometimes. Is it right for a Christian to be in the military, because we know that we’re supposed to love our neighbor as ourselves, and going to war against your neighbor hardly seems like an expression of love towards him. That is a valid point, but I think that we need to go a little bit deeper and think about this.
Are You Suffering Under a Generational Curse?
A Daily Little Lesson
Are you perhaps suffering under a generational curse? Today’s question is about generational curses, and, of course, we could first ask, “What is a generational curse?” Well, a generational curse is commonly referred to as a curse that is passed down from generation to generation. For example, if your great-grandmother was a voodoo priestess or something, God was angry at her and He cursed her, and now that curse that got put on her has passed down from her, to your mother or father, to you and so forth. That is the explanation for why you’re suffering so much or things aren’t going well in your life, because you’re suffering under a generational curse.
