Joy in the Midst of the Storm

The Same Salvation

God hasn’t changed—we have. The same God who poured out salvation in the book of Acts is still saving today the exact same way. But somewhere along the line, man got comfortable, soft, and sloppy—watering down the truth to fit feelings instead of faith. If God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, then who gave us the right to rewrite His requirements? Salvation isn’t up for revision. It’s not a suggestion—it’s a command. This is a wake-up call to return to the old pathway. Heaven hasn’t moved the goalpost. It’s time we stop shifting the standard and start obeying the truth.

God's Order of Operations

Remember PEMDAS from math class? Just like math has an order of operations, God does too—and He doesn’t skip steps. He commands that everything be done “decently and in order,” especially when it comes to how His messages are delivered. When it comes down to hearing His instruction, we’d better follow His pattern, not our own preferences. This study unpacks how God sets things in motion.

The Whole Picture

Too many are banking their salvation on a half-quoted verse. John 3:15–16 is powerful and true, but belief in Jesus isn’t just words—it’s a lifestyle. If you truly believe, then your life would show it. Belief that doesn’t lead to obedience is just lip service. It’s time to stop settling for a feel-good version of the Gospel and start walking in the full weight of what it means to believe in Jesus.

Back to the Basics Pt. 2

In Part 2 of this foundational study, we continue laying the groundwork for true salvation. There’s more to the basics than most realize—and skipping over them leads to shaky faith. We’re taking our time, precept upon precept, to make sure every piece is in place. Before we build up, we’re making sure the base is unshakable. Let’s keep digging until the foundation is solid enough to stand the weight of everything God has planned.

Back to the Basics

Every lasting structure starts with a solid foundation—and salvation is no different. If we skip the basics, we’re setting ourselves up for collapse. Without understanding the foundational truths of the faith, there’s nothing sturdy to build on. This study digs into the core of what it means to be saved and why mastering the fundamentals is the first step to building up our most holy faith.
