Contributed by Alvin Hathaway, Sr. on Mar 16, 2009

If the Servant Church models itself after Jesus Christ who ultimately taught us what a servant is: then the Servant Church must love God, it must love the children of God, and it must keep His commandant to love.

A Servant Church Loves I John 5: 1-5 “We Love the Children of God” Verse 2: By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.” Hear Paul’s poem: I may speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but if I have no love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging ...read more

Taking The Lowest Place

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 24, 2014

We take the lowest place to imitate the Trinity

The term “Trinity” does not appear even once in the Sacred Scriptures. Theophilus of Antioch used it to describe God about 150 years after Christ’s death and resurrection, so it may have come into usage some time before that. What it means is that God exists as one God, one ...read more

God wants us to be faithful to him in words and actions, even in difficult situations. So, what does it take to persevere in the way of Jesus?

Who Needs Theology? Series

Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Jan 28, 2017

Knowledge is important, but insufficient. Man’s wisdom is folly compared to God’s. So, what good is knowledge if faith is all that we need?

The word theology comes from two Greek words: Theos (God) and logos (study, research). Thus, theology is the study of God. I am richly blessed to be a graduate of Evangelical Theological Seminary. My course of study (Master of Divinity) included five semesters in systematic theology, among the most ...read more
