    When Outsiders Come To Church

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Oct 24, 2010
     | 4,676 views

    The impact of spiritual worship on outsiders is reviewed. It is the proclamation of the Word and not the frenzied attempts to awe and inspire outsiders that result in salvation of the lost.

    “Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature. In the Law it is written, ‘By people of strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to this people, and even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.’ Thus, tongues are a ...read more

For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, your ...read more

    Can A Christian Be Lost Again?

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 7, 2012
     | 4,226 views

    Eternal life means unending life; this is what Christ offers. Some, however, are convinced that His gift is probationary. The life He offers is meant to encourage us, and not to intimidate us.

    “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father ...read more

They shall keep guard over him and over the whole congregation before the tent of meeting, as they minister at the tabernacle. They shall guard all the furnishings ...read more

    Diversity In The Church

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 11, 2012
     | 5,717 views

    Leadership in the congregation is to reflect the Lord’s choice rather than seeking diversity as defined in the world.

    “The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, ...read more

    What was confessed through baptism reflects your understanding of relationship to Christ.

    “What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?

    based on 1 rating
     | 9,738 views

    "Everyone knows" can become an excuse for our bias in the church. The Apostle instructs us to see our strength as imposing responsibility rather than conferring privilege.

    “Concerning food offered to idols: we know that ‘all of us possess knowledge.’ This ‘knowledge’ puffs up, but love builds up. If anyone imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know. But if anyone loves God, he is known by God. “Therefore, as to the eating of food ...read more

    In his salutation, Paul presents the dual resources of Grace & Peace through 1) The dual source of his apostolic authority (Eph.1:1a), 2) A dual description of believers (Eph.1:1b), 3) A dual blessing for believers (Ephesians 1:2a), and 4) The dual source of those blessings (Eph. 1:2b).

    A Grievously Abused Verse: "if My People..."

    Contributed by Michael Stark on May 17, 2025
     | 642 views

    We have a high and holy privilege of asking anything of God, knowing that we will receive what we ask when we ask in the Name of Christ our Lord.

    “If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” “If my people who are called by my name…” You will no doubt recognise the opening words of this ...read more

    God has worked in the life of His people since before the foundations of the world--preparing and appointing them for service.

    “Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying, ‘Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.’” [1] It is most humbling to realise that we cannot boast of anything we possess or of who we ...read more

    If You Would Be Perfect

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 31, 2015
     | 6,054 views

    Stewardship begins with stewardship of life--receiving the life that Jesus offers. All that we consider "stewardship" flows from this first great decision.

    “Behold, a man came up to him, saying, ‘Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?’ And he said to him, ‘Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments.’ He said to him, ‘Which ...read more
