Here are 5 key passages from recent Christian articles around the web, including one article on being a whole woman of faith, and another on an important message found in Hebrews.
A Whole Woman of Faith: The Need for Doctrine and Deeds (Lara d’Entremont, Servants of Grace)
The question is not simply if you are theologically well-versed, but how are you using that theology? Does your Theology lead you to love others better?

Hebrews 10:19-39: Don’t Shrink Back (Josh Moody, God Centered Life)
The author of Hebrews is warning us that we cannot turn our backs on God and expect that there will be no consequences. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. There is no room for complacency. We must stick with Christ. We must press on to holiness. We must live up to our calling. We must make sure of what we say we believe. Don’t drift. Don’t abandon Christ.

You and I are not called as Christians to seek out this hidden will, which we cannot know because God hides it from His people. Instead, His people are to live by what the Lord has revealed about Himself in His Word.
