The Gospel of Matthew tells us of Jesus’ command to “go therefore and make disciples”.
Matthew 28:19-20 (ESV)
19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Obviously the call is to “spread the gospel” to the nations. We as believers want our neighbors (near and far) to be saved. We also want believers to grow. So, in an effort to help you with questions in your Christian walk (your growth in grace and holiness) below is a listing of trusted resources that can assist with questions, with Bible study, with hard topics. These might be real theological or doctrinal questions, or practical application questions.
A theological or doctrinal question might be about:
- the work of the Holy Spirit
- Eternal Security
- Why did Jesus have to die for my sins?
- Who was Jacob wrestling with?
- 7 Day Creation?
- Can I trust the Bible as God’s inerrant word?
A practical question might be about:
- Relationships
- Who to date?
- When should my kids date?
- Marriage
- Gender Issues
- Sexuality
- Raising children
- Social Media impact on kids
e.g. we want a Biblically based, Christ-centered perspective on our lives and our families lives
While it unlikely that all of us align exactly with each opinion or comment in the following links, what we can do is major on the main things and not yield, nor wilt on those. Those are our primary beliefs listed here on this website https://www.oakgrovechurchtn.org/about-us/
Then we as maturing believers (due to our freedom in Christ) can exercise discernment, humility and grace on the secondary or tertiary issues that may be listed in the following resources. So, read and research in that manner. We hope this is helpful. NOTE: much is free, there are also links to purchase books, bibles, studies in some of these sites as well
