The grace at work in an unbeliever&amp;rsquo;s heart can be resisted, and it can run out. Do not sin away your grace.</description></item><item><title>Misconception #6: The Church Should Not Have a Voice in "Politics"</title><link>https://71957911.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/misconception-6-church-and-politics/</link><pubDate>Mon, 15 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://71957911.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/misconception-6-church-and-politics/</guid><description>The enemy has used the word &amp;lsquo;politics&amp;rsquo; to silence the church on the very issues that matter most. But politics is simply the public realm of ideas — and the church is called to be the pillar and ground of the truth there too.</description></item><item><title>Misconception #5: Grace Is Carte Blanche to Sin</title><link>https://71957911.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/misconception-5-grace-license-to-sin/</link><pubDate>Sun, 14 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://71957911.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/misconception-5-grace-license-to-sin/</guid><description>Many treat God&amp;rsquo;s grace as total freedom to live however they please. But Scripture itself confronts this &amp;lsquo;false grace.&amp;rsquo; Real grace teaches us to say no to ungodliness — it never licenses the sin it came to break.</description></item><item><title>Misconception #4: Love Is a Feeling</title><link>https://71957911.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/misconception-4-love-is-a-feeling/</link><pubDate>Sat, 13 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://71957911.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/misconception-4-love-is-a-feeling/</guid><description>The world says love is a feeling — tolerance of everything, whatever makes us feel good. Scripture says love is a moral quality of God&amp;rsquo;s own character, always grounded in truth and never rejoicing in sin.</description></item><item><title>Misconception #3: Repentance Toward God Is Not Necessary for Salvation</title><link>https://71957911.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/misconception-3-repentance-and-salvation/</link><pubDate>Fri, 12 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://71957911.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/misconception-3-repentance-and-salvation/</guid><description>Many in the church think the first step in evangelism is sharing Jesus. But Paul&amp;rsquo;s pattern began earlier — with repentance toward God. Before a person can receive the Savior, they must first acknowledge God as God.</description></item><item><title>Misconception #2: The Condition of the World Today Is God's Will</title><link>https://71957911.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/misconception-2-world-condition-gods-will/</link><pubDate>Thu, 11 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://71957911.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/misconception-2-world-condition-gods-will/</guid><description>Closely related to the first misconception, but aimed at God&amp;rsquo;s deep work in human hearts. The broken state of the world is not evidence that God has failed any soul — He has been faithful to every person He ever made.</description></item><item><title>Misconception #1: Everything That Happens Is God's Will</title><link>https://71957911.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/misconception-1-everything-is-gods-will/</link><pubDate>Wed, 10 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://71957911.christian-standing.pages.dev/blog/misconception-1-everything-is-gods-will/</guid><description>The first in a series on common misconceptions of the faith. Is everything that happens really God&amp;rsquo;s will? Scripture distinguishes God&amp;rsquo;s sovereignty from God&amp;rsquo;s approval — and protects us from blaming Him for evil.</description></item></channel></rss>
