Peter Newman: 10 books

What does it mean for a Christian to submit? The Bible says to "submit to God" (James 4:7); "submit to one another" (Ephesians 5:21); "wives submit to your husbands" (Colossians 3:18); "younger men submit to your elders" (1 Peter 5:5); "servants submit to your masters" (1 Peter 2:18); and "everyone...

Many Christians think it is wrong to ever judge another person’s conduct. However, this is not Biblically correct. Spiritual discernment and godly judgment is a God-given gift that should steadily increase as we progressively walk in God’s sanctification and love. An unScriptural fear and aversion...

Very few Christians understand the relationship between faith and works, and particularly which works are acceptable to God and which are not acceptable.
