Eldership - 1 Peter 5:1 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Feb 7, 2025

Different denominations have different traditions about what the elders' job description should be. But there shouldn't be differing traditions. Peter makes it very clear.

Churches are to be elder-led. The term elder refers to a position of authority and leadership, but elders should work with congregations in major decisions like a husband with his wife. Elders should be nominated by the people and appointed by the other elders. The elder takes over the roles of the ...read more

1 Peter Commentary —chapter 1 Series

Contributed by John Lowe on May 18, 2021

Peter’s first epistle is addressed to Gentile believers among the dispersed (the scattered) of Israel. They have been released from the futile way of life they learned from their ancestors (1:18). Those who were at one time, not a people, had become nothing less than the people of God (2:10).

Psalms 1:1 – Unfriending Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jan 7, 2017

Does the experience of joy really depend on who I befriend? Who is really wise enough to discern when advice is malicious and wicked? Who is able to recognize when they are keeping the wrong company? How do I detect the traps of cynicism and mockery?

Psalms 1:1 – UNFRIENDING “Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers.” GO TO THAT PERSON’S PROFILE If David was on facebook he would have unfriended them. Brothers Abishai and Joab are as wicked ...read more

Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (15 Of 16)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022

One of the difficulties the Lord Jesus had in dealing with mankind was getting people to accept Him for Who He was.

He could have solved that problem by making us all robots. All He would have to do then is push a button and make us believe on Him as our Savior. Illus: That would be a bit like a young man pulling a gun on a beautiful young lady, pointing it in her face, and saying, “Tell me that you love ...read more

We read, “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which ...read more

Do churches face coups? What can we learn from an attempted coup? Let's look at 1 Kings 1.

Is political leadership still today exercised by people pushing and shoving? Do leaders of nations still like to impose their will rather than act in humble self-sacrifice? Let’s look at 1 Kings 1. In his old age, how did David remain warm in bed at night? Was it a purely platonic ...read more
