Does James contradict the Bible when he says God tempts no one?  Rightly parsing the Greek words James uses for “testing” and “trials” gives us clarity on what he meant, which when taken at face value from the English appears to be a contradiction to the rest of the Bible. James 1:2-3, James 1:12-14. VF-2501.

Science confirms many of the things taught in the Bible, such as the benefits of exercising gratitude.  Thinking daily about what you are deeply grateful to God for rewires your brain and improves your physical and mental wellbeing.  When Jesus healed the ten lepers, the one that returned to thank Him and glorify God was not only healed but for his faith he was saved.  Expressing your gratitude directly to God affects your whole attitude and relationship with Him. Luke 17:11-19. VF-2500.

One of the most common questions people ask is, “Why did you become a Protestant?”  The answer to this question is revealed through a combination of asking AI, “Why do some Catholics receive the wafer on the tongue and not touch it with their hands?” and a trek through ecclesiastical history, specifically that of the Roman Catholic church during the period of time leading up to the Protestant reformation. VF-2499.

God condemned the Edomites because of their unbrotherly behavior towards Judah.  When strangers invaded Judah, the Edomites did not come to the aid of their brothers, they acted like their enemies.  In the day of the Lord, His wrath will be upon the nations that came against Him and rejected Him; but God will take care of His people and those that turn to Him. Obadiah 1:10-21. VF-2498.

From their conception there was bad blood between Jacob, aka “Israel” and his brother Esau, aka “Edom.”  Tensions between their descendants continued after their death and run all the way through the Bible.  Obadiah picked up on this and prophesied of Edom’s downfall.  While this part of the prophecy has come to pass, it stands as a modern message, warning us to guard against godlessness and pride which was the root of Edom’s downfall. Obadiah 1:1-10. VF-2497.

Understanding the Atheist: God Does the Calling

Many of us have loved ones that refuse to believe in God and there is nothing we can say to convince them.  The best thing we can do is keep praying for them. This life, in the “land of the living,” is a place of great trials.  Without God, we would have no hope and nothing to hold on to.  Remember that we were all in that state before we came to the faith.  The call of God is in His perfect timing. Psalm 27:13. VF-2496.
