Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 8, 2010

It's a tough subject—sin in the church. This chapter can easily be misconstrued in several ways and I want to try ...read more

How To Prepare For A Spiritual Confrontation Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 4, 2025

How should a church or believers deal with gross sin which is found in their midst? Ingore it? Cover it up? Tell your friends? Gossip? Why not find out what God's Word says about the subject?

One of the most important questions any Bible-believing church must ask itself is this: How will we respond when we find that gross, even unrepentant sin is present in our church body? Many of us who fashion ourselves as born-again Bible-believing Christians might respond something like this: ...read more

Fornication As Was Not Named

Contributed by Phillip Smith on Jun 4, 2024

The ages old sin; fornication. The lust of the flesh tends to lead to fornication by two willing participants. But, this instance (in Corinth) spoken of is more revolting, disgusting, than common fornication.
