  • Knowledge Puffs Up But Love Edifies

    Contributed by Mitch Davis on Jun 22, 2007
     | 4,912 views

    We all have knowledge (or, at least we think we do) but such does not build up the body of Christ. Too many professing Christianity actually tear down the body of Christ with their knowledge instead of building it up with the love God demands.

    Knowledge Puffs Up But Love Edifies Theme: Considering the conscience of your brother. 1 Corinthians 8 INTRODUCTION A. Within the body of Christ will arise issues that are deemed doctrinal by some and opinion by others. 1. Both sides believe they have the truth on the divisive subject. 2. Such was ...read more

  • Telos

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jul 9, 2018
     | 3,549 views

    Of all the sins listed in our Gospel today, the telos in that list is extremely off-course from God.

    22B People put their entire moral analysis on intention only; e.g. If my intention is good, I can do it. But actually, “telos” is the word in the Bible that orients ourselves toward God. Telos means “purpose, intent, goal.” E.g. Bulimia is acting against the telos of eating. A couple good ...read more

     | 6,006 views

    We are commanded the lift up the standard. What does that really mean? We can get help by comparing it with the rules and etiquette of our own national flag.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,305 views

    The need for reconciliation arises because of our estrangement from God on account of our sin. The mediator of reconciliation is God. The cost of reconciliation is the death of Christ. The result of reconciliation is a new relationship with God.

It requires spiritual thinking: no longer regarding people from a worldly point of view - “according to the flesh” - and certainly not regarding Christ from a worldly ...read more

  • So, You Think You're Not A Pharisee?

    Contributed by Dan Funk on Aug 28, 2014
     | 5,121 views

    Christ directed the Parable of the Pharisee and the Publican Praying in the Temple to those who trusted in their own righteousness. We are more prone to trust in our own righteousness than we might think. This self-trust can keep us from being merciful.

    Over the years, we have all heard preachers address the parable of the Pharisee and the Publican praying in the Temple. “The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast ...read more
