Living a Christian Life
The Holy Spirit wants Christians “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).
(1) To “lead a quiet life,” is to be a “peacemaker” (Matthew 5:9), as Jesus said. Paul explained: “If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men” (Romans 12:18).
(2) “to mind your own business” (m.y.o.b.) means you deal with yourself. This does not cancel preaching the Gospel “to every creature” (Mark 16:15) but making their life’s decisions for them.
(3) “to work with your own hands” means self-supporting, not living off your parents. This sounds like spiritual “rugged individualism,” and that’s exactly what God requires! No statistical “millennials” here! Living like Christians ought doesn’t leave time for laziness, whining, or being supported by parents or government handouts! - February 7, 2022

An Intelligence Test: Mini Article Now Available
Paul’s first missionary trip began on the island of Cyprus: “And when they arrived in Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. They also had John as their assistant. Now when they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar-Jesus, who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man called for Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God” (Acts 13:5-7). All across the island, they “preached the word of God.” Sergius Paulus, the “proconsul” who represented Roman Government, was “intelligent” for seeking “to hear the word of God.” Intelligent governance by those who seek “to hear the word of God,” can only get better. We must insist it be so. How “intelligent” are you? - October 11, 2021

QA: I've Already Been Baptized in Water
QUESTION: I've already been baptized in water. Do I need to be re-baptized? - July 15, 2018
ANSWER: The first time the Gospel of Christ was preached in its entirety was the day of Pentecost after Jesus' resurrection and ascension back into Heaven. Then people were told to, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized int he name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38) When Philip joined the Eunoch's chariot and "preached Jesus to him" (Acts 8:35), the eunuch said, "See? Here is water. ... Read More of this and other QA in Questions Answered.

QA: Why Should I Be Baptized Again? I've Confessed
QUESTION: Why should I be baptized again? I've already been baptized in water. - 8/30/2020
ANSWER: The gospel was first preached on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:38, 41), demonstrating that repentance by itself did not save them. When Philip joined the eunuch's chariot and preached Jesus, confession by itself did not save him (Acts 8:37-38). The Holy Spirit taught the meaning of baptism through Paul (Romans 6:3-4). ...

QA: How Can We Remember the Crucifixion of Christ?
QUESTION: What Must Christians Do To Remember the Crucifixion of Christ? - August, 2020
ANSWER: Simply, preach the Word (2 Timothy 4:2). Don't be distracted (1 Corinthians 2:1-2). ... By following a man-made religious calendar, people have been turned away from that Cross. “Christmas” diverts attention to Jesus’ birth; “Lent” places the emphasis upon human denial; “Easter” skips the cross to Jesus’ resurrection; and “the thief on the cross” makes salvation from a thief rather than Jesus! ...
