Lessons from the Wilderness
1 Corinthians 10:1-13 In these verses Paul uses the example of the failure of the people of Israel during the exodus/wilderness period to teach lessons for the church. What are few of theses lessons and how do they apply to believers today?
The Judgment of Mystery Babylon
The whore of Revelation 17 is judged. Who is she and what is her end?
Know the Holy Scriptures
The scriptures are the very words of God. It has been said that it is God's love letter to man. How much effort do you put forth to know the holy scriptures?
The Lord Our Rereward
What is a rereward? How is it a blessing that God is our rereward?
Door Keeper in the House of the Lord
Many today love to have the preeminence (3 John 1:9) like Diotrephes of old. Man desires a position. God takes a servant and gives him a job to do.
The Wonder of it All
Many believers today seem to lose the wonder of what God has done for them. Paul never lost that wonder. You hear this wonder in his testimony of 1 Timothy 1:12-17. You see it in this passage as well. It begins, “What shall we say to these things?”
Who are the Reprobates
We have heard much of my life of the danger of sinning away our day of grace. This idea is that the Holy Spirit will only work in our hearts for so long, but at some time will cease and we are at that time, even if still alive, condemned to hell. Is it a Bible teaching? Is it possible that there are people among us who could never get saved?
Setting a Man Over the Congregation
Ordination is first of all a simple confirmation that God has indeed called a man and that he has faithfully shown the evidences of this call. It places some honor from those who do the ordaining upon the man who is being ordained.
The Testimony of a Soul Winner
We come into contact with people who are lost and on their way to hell every day. Yet, we do nothing to reach them. Why do we not tell them? We do not lead others to Christ because we do not have the heart of the apostle Paul.
Convictions
What is a conviction? One person says that it is no more than a personal opinion. Others define it as those things for which you would be willing to die; all else is a preference. Some teach that convictions are based on direct scriptural teaching. Others teach that convictions are not even scriptural. Why all the confusion? What is a good biblical approach to the concept of convictions? Let us see if we can make any sense out of it all.
