The Peril Of False Prophets (Part 1) Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 13, 2022

Satan doesn’t mind the church gathering together as long as we don’t share the truth of the gospel. He doesn’t mind preaching as long as it doesn’t reveal the depravity of humanity and the salvation available through Christ our Lord.

Make Me A Blessing (1 Of 3)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Aug 8, 2024

In I Timothy 6:1-12 we do not have to do any surmising when it comes to who Paul was addressing in this passage of scriptures. Although we know the letter is addressed specifically to young Timothy, yet it is clear, the thing he has to say in this passage of scripture is to the MAN OF GOD

Look at verse 11. We read, “But thou, O MAN OF GOD...” To be referred to as a “man of God,” or a “woman of God,” is one of the greatest titles that could be given to any Christian.
