     | 197 views

    So the church was split. In our society, eating meat sacrificed to idols is no longer an issue. But at least three principles Paul teaches in this passage are as relevant as ever.

    Letter To The Pergamum Congregation Series

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on May 24, 2015
     | 5,269 views

    Compromising in holiness is far more dangerous than severe persecution of a congregation and individual Christian.

    Verse 12 - Jesus introduces Himself as having a two-edged sword. The significance of that will be plainly understood later in this letter. Verse 13 - Jesus first tells the congregation that He knows that one of the greatest challenges they must deal with is dwelling where they do - Pergamum - ...read more

     | 8,107 views

    We see the spiritual lives of Christians today in a state of confusion and disarray. Reason? Lack of Biblical teachings and knowledge.

    ABOMINATION TO THE LORD! Not every sermon I’ve preached or written were a home run and a blockbuster hit; many have boomerang and hit me back instead – this one I write today may be one. Just a caution before I proceed! We have talked a lot of ‘joy of the Lord’, ...read more

    I'm shocked to learn that some Christians do not read the Old Testament. Let’s review some highlights in Deuteronomy and see how it's still relevant for Christians.

    Let’s review some highlights in Deuteronomy still relevant to Christians. Images We’ll begin with statues and pictures in churches. Are such images wrong? What about the images of cherubs and pomegranates in the tabernacle? You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of ...read more

    The Paradox Of Pursuing Knowledge About God And Experiencing Him

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jun 8, 2019
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,378 views

    The danger of intellectual pursuit without an intimate experiential knowledge of God is that the heart can be come cold and brittle like a stone, making knowledge an idol.

    I remember as a young Born-Again Christian, just starting my spiritual journey that I would walk in and through the presence of God effortlessly. I lived and breathed the supernatural. Signs and Wonders were everywhere! The anointing was powerful! Then I went to Bible School and was told those ...read more

     | 315 views

    This morning, we shall see how the failures of the Wilderness generation and their rejection of Yahweh for a golden calf became the paradigm for the Sanhedrin's rejection of Jesus for a Golden Temple made by hands.

    The Trial of Stephen, Part 5 Acts 7:36–41 NKJV He brought them out, after he had shown wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years. “This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me ...read more

    A Pharisee and a tax-collector bump into eachother at the temple. This looks like a sitcom! ...

    “Jesus told them another joke”, we are told, “and He told this one to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and looked down on others.’ Now, I suspect that your translation probably says ‘parable’ rather than ‘joke’, but I think ‘joke’ is actually a very good translation.
