Sweet Fellowship
Is there any word used in the church today that is more distorted from Scripture’s intent than the word “fellowship”? I typed the words “bowling fellowship” into Google and I received 13,500 results. It seems you can put the word “fellowship” after any activity and that is far too often what people believe fellowship is, [...]
The Messy but Marvelous Church
In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach, 2 until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. 3 He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing [...]

The Sometimes Necessity for Civil Disobedience
There are times in the Bible where believers not only take an active role in civil disobedience, but are blessed because they chose to do so (e.g. Esther, Daniel, Peter and John in Acts 5, the Hebrew midwives of Exodus 1:15-20, Rahab’s hiding of the Israelite spies and her subsequent mention of her faith in [...]

What It Takes to Be Saved
And a ruler asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 19 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. 20 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor [...]
The Black Eye of Persistent Prayer
And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. 2 He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man. 3 And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me [...]
Some Further Thoughts and Clarifications on the Message from Luke 17:20-37
Regarding Lightning in verses 24-25 Chris F. sent me a question via email regarding verses 24-25 (For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day. 25 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.”) [...]
The King Has Come
Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed, 21 nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.” 22 And he said to [...]
