Why we should follow the script (or Scripture)

September 21, 2016 by Scott LaPierre 16 Comments

Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons

We homeschool our children, taking them through Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons when they’re around four. We’ve been pleased with the book, including the way the instruction is presented like a script. The words Katie is supposed to say are in red, and our child’s responses are in black. There’s a response provided if a child answers correctly, and […]

Does the Gospel Make God an Abomination?

August 26, 2016 by Scott LaPierre 32 Comments

Does the Gospel make God an abomination_

People mean well when they say all sins are the same, but the problem is they’re not. One way they’re different is certain sins are identified as an abomination. Two such examples: He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord. Proverbs 17:5 […]

July 27, 2016 by Scott LaPierre 10 Comments

How-Did-Salvation-and-Forgiveness-Take-Place-in-the-Old-Testament-author-scott-lapierre

How were people forgiven (or saved) in the Old Testament? Did forgiveness (or salvation) take place in the Old Testament through sacrifices or human effort? The short answer is forgiveness (and salvation) was received in the Old Testament the same way it’s received in the New Testament: by grace through faith. The Gospel can’t be a New Testament […]

What Foods Should Christians NOT Eat?

July 8, 2016 by Scott LaPierre 28 Comments

What-Foods-Should-Christians-NOT-Eat-author-scott-lapierre

Are there any foods Christians should not eat? The New Testament is overwhelmingly clear that there are no food restrictions for Christians. Consider the following verses: Jesus said, “It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth.” Matthew 15:11 The Greek word for “defile” is […]

God Doesn’t Choose Like Man Chooses

May 17, 2016 by Scott LaPierre 6 Comments

God Doesn't Choose Like Man Chooses

The Apostle Paul explained said God doesn’t choose like man chooses: God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things (most translations say “lowly”) of the […]

Am I Saved? Seven Tests to Know!

May 6, 2016 by Scott LaPierre 70 Comments

Am-I-Saved-Seven-Tests-to-Know-author-scott-lapierre

“Am I saved?” is one of the most important questions we can ask. Jesus said many people are deceived about the answer: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, […]

Do You Desire to Live a Quiet Life?

Do You Desire to Live a Quiet Life

A quiet life might not sound attractive, but if we consider how God has called us to live, this is the way it should be: Aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you. 1 Thessalonians 4:11 We Identify with Peter Versus […]

When Should Children Be Baptized?

November 3, 2015 by Scott LaPierre 2 Comments

When should children be baptized by Scott LaPierre

I am a credobaptist, which is to say I believe people should be baptized when they become Christians. This stands in contrast to paeodobaptists who believe the infants of Christian parents should be baptized. I received the following question about when children should be baptized: Please explain why a child’s baptism should lack coercion. Helpful tips, suggestions, […]

Don't Test God

February 17, 2014 by Scott LaPierre 4 Comments

In May 2012 Mark Wolford died after handling a rattlesnake during service. He’d just turned 44 and he said, “It is going to be a homecoming like the old days. Good ‘ole raised in the holler or mountain ridge running, Holy Ghost-filled speaking-in-tongues sign believers.” Yesterday I read about Jamie Coots who died Saturday after […]

Paradoxes in the Bible

September 13, 2013 by Scott LaPierre 4 Comments

Paradoxes in the Bible-author-scott-lapierre

Paradoxes are statements that seem contradictory, inconsistent, or absurd, but are nonetheless true…and the Bible is full of paradoxes… God Exalts the Humble and Humbles the Exalted This is probably the Bible’s most common paradox. In the New Testament: 1 Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you […]
