The Table of Victory

Jesus had a reason for instructing his followers to celebrate the Lord’s Supper. We know there is something special about this service and that Jesus is present to minister to us in a special way, but exactly how Christ is present is a mystery. We may not fully understand the mystery, but we know that... Read More

Pursuing Charity

I Corinthians 12:31 introduces chapter 13, saying, “and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.” Charity is a requirement to honor Christ and bless others. Chapter 13 presents Christian charity–its importance, description, growth in it, and its permanence. Then chapter 14 begins, “Follow after charity” (KJV). Jesus was a GREAT LIGHT in a... Read More

Even in the beginning of time we see broken relationships between fathers and sons;... Read More

Virtues for Church Life

Ephesians 3 and 4 both contain passages that talk about growing into the “fullness” of God. Ephesians 4:2,3 names elements that are important for that growth to happen — lowliness, gentleness, and longsuffering. When lowliness is missing, our service becomes contaminated, we treat people roughly, we don’t listen well, and we don’t respond to correction.... Read More

Is God an American?

The New Testament was written to people who lived in the pagan Roman Empire, in which government leaders didn’t care who you worshipped as long as you respected and paid homage to Caesar. The story of Peter going to visit Cornelius demonstrates that Christianity is a worldwide movement that is not bound to any earthly... Read More
