     | 2,569 views

    The assemblies of the Lord must recognise the marks of the false prophet and the false teacher. They must guard themselves against succumbing to the alluring message that leads to destruction of the congregation.

    The word of the LORD came to me: ‘Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel, who are prophesying, and say to those who prophesy from their own hearts: “Hear the word of the LORD!” Thus says the Lord GOD, Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! ...read more

He handed over the cash to the cashier, who paused, held it up to the light, scribbled on it with one of those little pens—and then called the police. It was a counterfeit. The man was stunned—he ...read more

    Feed The Flock

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 3, 2025
     | 206 views

    God calls pastors to shepherd His flock willingly, humbly, and faithfully—feeding souls, guarding hearts, and awaiting the unfading crown from the Chief Shepherd.

    There is a peculiar ache that only a pastor knows. It’s the ache that comes from carrying both the Word of God and the weight of His people. It’s the midnight burden that wakes you when everyone else sleeps. It’s the sound of the phone ringing when your own heart is still raw from yesterday’s ...read more

     | 109 views

    It is meant to improve yourself in everything through the practice of Christian perfection, guiding your souls to more holiness by cooperating with God's grace given first to you in baptism.

    Instead of typical New Year’s resolutions to exercise, eat better and lose weight—the Church says just become God-like and you can do all that and much more. It is not that “you yourself are God,” but we are “gods by grace” (Aquinas) beginning with baptism as we have the indwelling of God in our ...read more

     | 580 views

    How should we live in a world that is hostile to Christianity? Not by adopting the culture around us uncritically, nor by rejecting the world completely, but by engaging with the world while guarding against sin.

    This morning, we continue with our study of First Peter. As a reminder, 1 Peter is a general epistle, meaning that it was a letter written to Christians in general, rather than to a specific church body. The first verse of the letter tells us that it was written: “To God’s elect, exiles scattered ...read more
