    The Gender Issue

    Contributed by Robert Sickler on Jun 5, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,491 views

    What a paradox: in the eyes of God we are neither male nor female, but Paul gave gender specific instructions to Timothy.

    Bible – The Gender Issue We need to address a very serious issue in today’s church. Regardless of what the liberals, intellectuals, emergent and other people say, gender is relevant in the bible. The bible refers to God and the Holy Spirit as a male and thus we too should refer to ...read more

    John is instructed to take a rod and measure the temple, its altar, and the people who worship there. Why are these being measured?

    Read verses 1 & 2. We could get very deep in the study of just these 2 verses but again a lot of it is speculation. So let’s look at what we know. John is instructed to take a rod and measure the temple, its altar, and the people who worship there. Why are these being measured? Scripture ...read more

    Caricature Or Reality (Part 2)

    Contributed by John Telgren on Feb 23, 2017
     | 5,008 views

    God is holy, not a commodity. Even though Joy is appropriate and even instructed, God must be approached with reverence before joy

    Last week we saw that the number one characteristic of God is that he is holy. We need to understand this about God so we can make sure we are worshipping him and not some caricature of him we have made up in our mind. Do you know what a caricature is? We usually think of it as a picture, such as ...read more

    Many are leaving out critical directions given in the Bible, and cutting corners as they say to avoid following the instructions given by God.

    Jesus gave the directions we must follow, but few want to follow his directions to the letter. In out text passage he said if we hear him and follow the instructions given by his word we are wise builders and our (Spiritual) House will withstand the storms of this life.
