    The Limitations/Irony Of Worldly Wisdom-4

    Contributed by Byron Sherman on Oct 8, 2013
     | 3,178 views

    4 of 4. Paul related the limitations/irony of worldly wisdom to the Corinthians believers. The irony of worldly wisdom is in its being relegated to foolishness. But How is it limited? Worldly wisdom is limited by...

    The LIMITATIONS/Irony Of WORLDLY WISDOM-IV—1Corinthians 1:18-25 Attention: A cowboy rides into town & stops at a saloon for a Sasparilla.

    Women And Christianity Pt. 2

     | 6,707 views

    In this concluding article of this title series, I want to focus on the ministries that are prohibited and the ministries that women can and should pursue.

    In my previous article on this topic, I focused on how Christianity elevated the status and opportunities of women. I wrote about how Christian women, in the New Testament, have had (and, thus, still have) opportunities to labor for the Lord’s Church. However, I did mention in passing that ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,471 views

    Christ our Master has commanded us to baptise disciples rather than baptising rebels to make them disciples.

    “Jesus came and said to [the disciples], ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.

    WHAT DOES A NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH LOOK LIKE? By Owen Carey and Eric Hanson Within Christian circles, many people have some idea of what a New Testament Church is.

    Mystery Babylon, The Lincoln Affair Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Jul 21, 2015
     | 3,291 views

    The facts are documentable. There really is a connection between Rome and the events surrounding the Civil War, including Lincoln's untimely death. Step back and look at history through Biblical eyes, and your view changes considerably...

    FORTY-EIGHT: THE LINCOLN AFFAIR So we are now in a time when bloodshed, which is newsworthy and can be reported to generations following, begins to give way to influence, which tends to go unnoticed except by the most observant.

     | 3,919 views

    Are we patterned on Rome, on America, or on the Bible in our church? Who is in charge?

    CHURCH GOVERNMENT If Paul were to visit other American congregations, he might be just as appalled at the male leadership as at the female. He would see that, in the main, congregations are built around one man. And with sorrow he would note that the size of the congregation is in direct ...read more

    Jesus From Eternity, And Prophesied. (No Comparison To Muhammad) Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Sep 1, 2015
     | 4,096 views

    As I state in the message, comparing Jesus and Muhammad is pretty unfair. Jesus is eternal. Muhammad was temporal. Jesus is God. Muhammad is mere man, and admits it. Jesus is the Son of the Father, Muhammad was a spokesman for a distant god.

    JESUS: First, Last, and Best 1. Introduction There was a man named Muhammad. And there was a man named Jesus Christ. These two men call for your allegiance, one out of the history books, one by His ever-living Spirit. Their sayings and their lives are in total contradiction to one another. If one ...read more
