Paul's Sermon At Athens: The Evidence Of A Shepherd's Heart

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 6, 2021

When Paul arrived in Athens, he was grieved over the rank idolatry of the city with statues and temples dedicated to various gods and goddesses. He knew that the Gospel had to be proclaimed. Souls hung in the balance. This is the heart of a man of God and the example we need to follow today.

When Paul arrived in Athens to wait for Silas and Timothy to join him, he looked around the city and did not marvel at the beauty of the city's temples or the culture or anything typical of a tourist's curiosity. If he were to be classified as a "sightseer", the sights he saw ...read more

The Lord, who created our eyes, tongue, hands, heart, feet, lips and spirit, is vexed and grieved when we use them for evil. When we do, our bodies which were meant to be the temples of God’s Spirit become anatomical abominations!

Working together in harmony under the brain’s direction, our members enable the body to live, work play and worship. We are strictly warned by God never to ...read more

Desire God's Glory Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Apr 16, 2021

David fervently desired to be in God’s temple all the days of his life, so he could behold the glory and the beauty of the Lord. In contrast a majority of people simply wish to receive material blessings and miracles from the Lord, with no desire whatsoever to see the glory of God.
