But The People Were Silent

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 14, 2016

The people of God must never keep silent in the midst of attack on the message of the gospel. Elijah took a stand even in a hostile and homicidal environment. The people had so much compromised that they could not choose for Jehovah God.

BUT THE PEOPLE WERE SILENT 1 Kings 18:17-39 17 And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel? 18 And Elijah answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou ...read more

Is What Sounds Good Always Good?

Contributed by Robert Sickler on Jan 18, 2016

What pleases the ear is not always sound doctrine; yet, what pleases the ear is what people want to hear. What is sound doctrine regarding Jesus' return?

Feeding On Christ

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 13, 2019

What does it mean to feed on Christ? Why doesn't everyone respond positively to the gospel?

Today’s passage is challenging. The passage is difficult in two ways; first, it is difficult to understand, as it requires unpacking a figure of speech, a metaphor. What does it mean, really, to “eat the flesh” and “drink the blood” of Christ? So it’s difficult to understand. And perhaps more ...read more
