  • Why A Church Covenant

    Contributed by Don Baggett on Dec 1, 2007
    based on 7 ratings
     | 5,241 views

    Church members need to have an agreement concerning how they will conduct themselves with respect to the local church of which they are a part.

    The context of this verse has to do with the use of tongues, and other spiritual gifts, in the church. While all churches certainly need to make the Bible their standard for faith and practice, different churches tend to interpret things differently. Therefore, it is wise for a local church to ...read more

  • Do I Hear An Amen?

    Contributed by James Groce on Jul 17, 2002
    based on 61 ratings
     | 6,219 views

    "Amen" is far more meaningful than a period, a stop, or a signing-off word by which a prayer, song, or declaration is terminated.

    In Scripture the word “Amen” comes from both Greek and Hebrew and is transliterated; which means there is no word in our language that can be interpreted exactly...so we used their word and in this case it is AMEN. It is variously translated Surely, Sure, Truth, Verily and Amen! Bullinger says ...read more

    With so many changes taking place in our culture today, IS THE CHURCH KEEPING PACE? Our MESSAGE must never change, but our METHODS do in order to reach the culture we’ve been commissioned to reach.

    How God gives new hope during the changing of the guard.

    Now Then… Joshua 1:1-5 Notice the “Now then…” statement by God. Why does God say this in reference to Moses? It almost sounds like He’s glad Moses is dead and gone.
