Thyatira: Corrupted By Compromise

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 26, 2020

Although situated within the smallest of the seven cities, the church in Thyatira received the longest letter. They were faithful in their labor, but had compromised with false doctrine. Jesus challenged them regarding the toleration of false teaching.

While the church in Thyatira was situated within the smallest of the cities the Lord would address, it is interesting that they received the largest letter. The name ...read more

The Fruit Of The Spirit Is The Foundation For Ministering Effectively In The Anointing Of God

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Dec 3, 2020

The absolute guiding principle of operating in God's anointing and spiritual gifts is starting from the foundation of love and the natural growth of the Fruit of the Spirit.

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” (Gal 5:22-23 NIV) Many years ago, I purchased an older ranch style home that needed fixing up. It had lots of potential and the ...read more

"all The Church Cares About Is Money." Series

Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Oct 7, 2019

Money is powerful! The amount of money we have allows or prevents us from having or doing certain things. Jesus understand the power of money as a prime competitor for our hearts. The church echoes Jesus' warning as we see what he was willing to pay for our eternity.

We learn very early on in life that when you walk into a store and you see something that you would like to buy, what is one of the first things that you look at? You look at the price tag. You want to know how much money that thing is going to cost you and if you have enough money then to buy ...read more

Jesus Among Secular Gods, Part 4 - Killing The Imago Dei: Answering The Questions Of Relativism & Secular Humanism Series

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Nov 4, 2019

Part 4 based on the book by Ravi Zacharias and Vince Vitale: Secular humanism believes we can look to human advancement for justice, peace, and the end of suffering. In sharp contrast, Christianity teaches that the only way for us to truly live is to remove ourselves from the equation.

Humanism (also known as progressivism) is based on relativism and the idea that human advancement is the solution to injustice, war, and suffering. Like most worldly reasoning or false teachings in the church, there some truth in this reasoning. The Christian and Biblical world-view that God uses ...read more

Dead To The World
