Serving In The Church: Volunteerism… or Responsibility?

“Each one should use whatever spiritual gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.

Why the Bodily Assumption is wrong, unBiblical, and not early in Church History.

Gavin Ortlund does an excellent job of showing how the dogma of the Bodily Assumption of Mary is wrong and not early in church history, and, in 1950, for the Pope to make it a dogma on pain of anathema … Continue reading

In the Name of the most Holy and undivided Trinity

The Paris Treaty of 1783, which brought an official end to the Revolutionary War and acknowledged the existence of the United States of America, began in this thoroughly secular, Darwinian, non-binary, marry whoever you want at any age you want, way: In the Name of the most Holy and undivided Trinity. We live in a day when acknowledging the “Name […]

Counseling One Another

As the church is more and more influenced by the standards of society, rather than the objective Word of God, this individualism and opposition to authority has become rampant even among professing Christians. The thought of other Christians interfering in our lives, especially admonishing us, would raise serious objections among many in our churches today.

Divine Forgiveness Admired and Imitated

“Divine Forgiveness Admired and Imitated” Colossians 3:13 Charles Spurgeon MTP, May 1885 Sermon number 1841 Taken from Spurgeon’s Expository Encyclopedia 7:401, 402, 405, 406. When He forgives He forgives the whole of our faults, follies, failures, and offenses. There is a certain solidarity about sin, so that it makes up one lump. I read the other day […]

Forgiving Myself?

“Forgiving myself” is common practice among Christians today, almost taken for granted as right, necessary, and biblical. The idea runs roughly like this: when I sin, I must confess my wrongdoing to God, accept his pardon, and then forgive myself. Poignantly reflecting the heavily psychologized world in which the Church walks, to witness how vigorously […]

Forgiving God? 

Plans sputter, hopes crumble, relationships derail, or evil exposes itself. I know I did my part – but God didn’t come through. Because life is full of disappointments, modern pastors and writers inform me, it must also be full of forgiveness. Their sage advice? Loosely commandeering Psalm 142:2, they urge cultivating a lifestyle of forgiving others, forgiving […]

The Love of God in the Shepherding of Souls

The undeniable love of God for His people pours forth abundantly from the pages of Scripture. God really loves and cares for the good of the Church. One of the ways this shows itself is in His wise bestowment of godly pastors to His local churches (cf. Eph. 4:11).  Every Christian needs a pastor! And […]

Your Christian Attitude: A Most Important Ingredient

“About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them” (Acts 16:25). It has been said that the way a person looks at a rose bush determines whether he is an optimist or a pessimist. A pessimist is sad that rose bushes have thorns. An […]
