    "The Mystery Of Apollos"

    Contributed by Clark Tanner on Jun 13, 2005
    based on 29 ratings
     | 7,508 views

    Why did Luke include the mention of Apollos in his narrative at this point?

    “Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus; and he was mighty in the scriptures.” Whether it was intentional on Luke’s part or just a by-product of the meticulous manner in which he gathered information and compiled it in his letters to ...read more

    The most common thing associated with the Christian life is to take God’s word and go through the process of internalizing it. When you first become a Christian you hardly know where to begin. I read through the Bible every year. It’s a big task to tak

    How Radical Should You Get?

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 10, 2003
    based on 28 ratings
     | 4,093 views

    When we first come to Christ we are tempted to make radical changes to our lives in order to prove our devotion to God. But there are some dangers there - and Paul addresses these in answer to a perplexing question.

    There was a saying when I first became a believer in Jesus Christ. It was a way of characterizing your devotion to the Lord – you’d say “I’m radically saved.” We meant that we had given all of ourselves to Him, and it was a good thing. But some people took the radical part to extremes. There were ...read more

    A biblical foundation for giving and receiving. God is the source of all our wealth and good things; it follows that we are to share those good things in order to enjoy them more.

    FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW “Take what you can get…and don’t give anything back!” From what I remember of Pirates of the Caribbean, this was some sort of motto that Captain Jack and his first mate lived by. It wasn’t the pirate code per se but a rule of life. Unfortunately it sounds a lot like ...read more

    This confrontation between the Jews and Jesus reveals a lot about who we are and who Jesus is.

    A CRISIS OF IDENTITY Who is Jesus to us? I am reminded of the question Jesus asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am?” The answer is not as simple as it sounds.
