    When the Church is God’s Enemy…

    So far this month, we have talked about why God allows trials in our lives and the importance of our striving to control the words that we say. We learned together that sometimes we bring trials upon ourselves by making bad decisions and by giving in to sin. We learned that gossip is never good…

  • The evil named Tongue

    The evil named Tongue

    The preacher stood to deliver his message. Little did his congregation know that he waited until Saturday night to begin preparing. We’ve heard that preachers only work 2 days a week. This guy took that literally. As a result, he had not studied the passage of Scripture well enough to teach it rightly. His sermon…

  • Why does God allow trials?

    Why does God allow trials?

    This month, we get to study James’ letter to Jewish Christians who were living in gentile communities. He wrote his letter before A.D. 50, and he used it to expose hypocrisy and to promote right behavior in life before God. __________________ __________________ Jewish Christians who lived in gentile communities had some significant struggles. They were…

  • Our Participation in Christ

    Our Participation in Christ

    This month we have gotten to look through Jude’s letter to believers in Jesus Christ. His challenge was for the church to contend for genuine faith in Christ. We learned that we contend by speaking in favor of the things that honor God according to His word, and we contend by constantly looking for how…

  • Dear Church, we are partners, not competitors

    Dear Church, we are partners, not competitors

    What a beautiful thing it is when the people of God come together. There truly is only one Church and only one body of Christ. We can look around in our churches and in our communities; seeing others who have different hobbies, different priorities, different values, different colors of skin, different languages, different preferences regarding…

  • Pointing Fingers

    Pointing Fingers

    There are a few ironies in our society today. We spend, on average $30,000 each year for four years to get a college education and most college graduates (53% in 2012) are unemployed or underemployed.1 We spend four years in college and ten years paying off the college experience. We demand something that we call…

  • How We Contend

    How We Contend

    Last time we were together, Jude challenged us to contend for the genuine faith because there are some who teach falsely. We learned that there is false teaching that permeates our society and many of our churches. We learned some of the things that we must contend against: The false idea that life is about…

  • False Teaching Today?

    False Teaching Today?

    This week I went to my uncle’s funeral. He was really popular and he had everything anyone could dream of having on this earth and more. He was a great man and he was faithful to God. At his funeral, when people were sharing things about him, they didn’t share about how much he had.…

  • The People God Hates…

    The People God Hates…

    There were two local churches. One church was concerned only with its own well-being. It competed with other churches in the area for attention, but didn’t really do anything to benefit the community. In fact, its members mocked the community and the world. Instead of sharing Christ’s love and the message of salvation, it only…

  • Dear Hurting Family

    Dear Hurting Family

    This year, more children are growing up between homes and with a single parent than ever before. If you are a single parent or a child or teenager and your family has been torn apart for whatever reason, please know that I weep for you in your current circumstances and that you will receive nothing…
