How Church Should Feel

In the local church at Corinth, there was much gossip (probably secret or ambush meetings), divisions, inflated disagreements about politics, and people who were living in sin and causing division were being elevated over those who tried to honor Christ with their lives. All too often, local church environments today are as terrible or worse–even…

The Loss of Basic Church

One burden on my heart is the loss of “basic church” in the western world. Doing church has become about many things, programs, and attractions. It has become a manifestation of the sensationalism that plagued America in the previous generation and this one. In all of our malcontent, the Bible speaks consistently about what God…

Weak Consciences and Christian Liberty

Paul is writing to exhort the church at Corinth toward unity. According to Paul, unity comes through maturity. Paul has provided the basis for his next exhortation, knowledge makes arrogant but love edifies. Paul now answers a question that was likely asked of him in a previous letter from Corinth: Is it a sin to…

Ministry Update September 2021

Friends and Family, Sorry for the radio silence. The last couple months have been very busy. Less has come out on this blog, and the daily devotional blog has slowed down (in fact, I will be grafting the devotional blog into this one and eventually closing down the devotional blog. Much has happened in my…

On Christian Arrogance

Paul writes to the local church at Corinth in order to encourage unity through maturity in the faith. He begins a new section about the eating of meat sacrificed to idols, or the participation in what is perceived as unholy actions by some. I have heard people apply this portion of Scripture to the eating…

The Two Harvests in Revelation

John has described the age in which the Gospel is going out, persecution abounds, and the church experiences all sorts of distress—the tribulation of which he is a partaker (cf. 1:9). After describing the dragon and two beasts, he turns now to describe the result of the tribulation experienced in this world—the harvests of the…

God’s Formula for Happiness

“You can’t date ’til you’re married. You can’t get married until you’re 30,” said the stereotypical father to his daughter. You’ve heard the statement. In Corinth, it had become customary for fathers to dedicate their children to the Lord, which meant that their children became the picture of purity and devotion to God alone. Apparently,…

The True Christian’s Focus

Paul is writing in order to admonish the Corinthian church toward unity through maturity in the faith. In Chapter 7, he admonishes them toward contentment because contentment facilitates growth to maturity. Now, Paul explains why contentment is advantageous in this life.

Preacher Bashing According to Jesus

Jesus has dialogued with the Pharisees, scribes, Herodians, and Sadducees—proving His dedication to the Scriptures and showing that He is a qualified Rabbi. In this section, Jesus speaks seven woes against the Pharisees and scribes, seven reasons they are Hell-bound and take others to Hell with them (cf. Matthew 23:13, 15). This is Jesus’s last…

Hellish Religion

It is Fig Monday, and Jesus is speaking seven woes against the Pharisees and scribes according to Matthew’s Gospel. The Pharisees and scribes are woeful because they are children of Hell and, by their examples, make others worse children of Hell than they are (cf. 23:13, 15). When Jesus says, “Woe to you,” it carries…
