    A Bibilical Deacon

    Contributed by Dwight Kennedy on Feb 22, 2018

    I want us to look at what the BIBLE gives as qualifications of a deacon. Also, the question sometimes comes up, "Do we really need deacons now?" I believe that stems from a misunderstanding of what a deacon should actually be.

Churches today are filled with men who may hold the TITLE of deacon, but their lives disqualify them from actually being a ...read more

    In his farewell speech Paul advises the leaders at Ephesus how to become good leaders of the flock.

    The call of Abraham is addressed in three elements contained in the following statement: ’God calls ordinary people.’

    There’s a children’s Bible song called “Father Abraham.” The words speak of Abraham having many children, and also speaks of you and I being Abraham’s children. It reminds me of a couple back home. They adopted two children because they believed they couldn’t have any biologically, but then they ...read more
