     | 4,812 views

    The prophet who cried out against Jeroboam's pagan altar in Bethel was on his way back home but stopped for a rest. Maybe he shouldn't have done this--he never made it back to his home alive.

Some prophets were murdered. like Uriah, who fled to Egypt, but was brought back to Judah and executed (see Jeremiah 26:20-23). Other prophets were more or less ...read more

    If it seems as if the world is falling apart before our eyes, perhaps it is because the world is falling apart before our eyes. How, then, shall Christians live in the midst of a world sliding toward divine judgement?

    we put quite a bit of effort into being attractional to the culture outside of the church. But is this really the best approach? How much is the church allowing culture to influence worship? When we understand the evangelistic nature of worship, we can better approach our role.
