  • Church is About True Family, Not Performances

    Church is About True Family, Not Performances

    Hebrews 10 24 and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, 25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near. Stimulate one another The author of Hebrews gives us a…

  • What is a Local Church?

    What is a Local Church?

    There is a great need for spiritual awakening. There are many churches and preachers. There are good, healthy churches and preachers. Yet, with all the churches and preachers preaching, the movement of the Holy Spirit seems often lacking. I know, the Holy Spirit moves where He wants to move, and we cannot see where He…

  • What If The Democrat and LGBTQ Enter the Kingdom Before You?

    What If The Democrat and LGBTQ Enter the Kingdom Before You?

    It is Fig Monday, and Jesus has been challenged by the chief priests and elders. They asked by what authority He did and taught the things He did. He did not tell them. Jesus now tells His critics three parables about them. Here is the first. Matthew 21:28-32 “But what do you think? A man…

  • The Lady Named Church

    The Lady Named Church

    Who, what, when, where, and how? Those are the questions I want to ask concerning the identity and purpose of the church. Paul wrote 1 Corinthians in 53-54 AD. Paul, Aquila, and Priscilla planted the church at Corinth in the home of a man named Titius Justus (cf. Acts 18:1-11) in 50 or 51 AD.…

  • God Hates Comfortable Religion

    God Hates Comfortable Religion

    Comfort, here to mean complacency, is one thing people really enjoy but God hates. Yet, many local churches strive to gain or keep congregants by making people comfortable. We do this by teaching easy things, neglecting accountability, offering entertaining programs, playing politics based on human preferences, offering ways for people to be righteous, and appealing…

  • Christianity, More Than Belief in God or Church Attendance

    Christianity, More Than Belief in God or Church Attendance

    In the previous verse, we saw Jesus give authority to His disciples over unclean spirits and over every sickness. This authority was meant as a sign that they carried with them the authority of the Messiah. We also saw that God provides gifts to believers today, but not as signs of either salvation or authority.…

  • Individualism and Jesus

    Individualism and Jesus

    As we continue to think about God’s path, there is a tendency I think we have. Our tendency is to ask what God might have for us individually as though we are to be promoted in some way as a result of God’s leading. We have individualized the Christian faith to a dangerous extreme. This…

  • Holiness in Community

    Holiness in Community

    Genesis and Exodus provide the perfect context for us to discuss, together, the community of faith. In Genesis we learn that God created people and desires to have a personal relationship with each one. In Exodus we learn that God’s desire remains the same in the context of a fallen world. Because He desires this…
