Sit, Walk, Stand

Contributed by Greg Carr on Oct 24, 2011

A friend spoke this word at a ministers conference and I did not take notes. Should we sit, walk or stand? We should do all three.

I want to tell you about a man by the name of Watchman Nee. In 1920, after a considerable spiritual struggle the seventeen-year-old, high school student, was dynamically saved.

What Is To Stop Me From Being Baptised? Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 25, 2012

Who should be baptised? Why should one be baptised? These are questions that must be answered by each one calling himself or herself after the Name of the Son of God.

Why Does The Government Do More Than The Church To Help The Poor? Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 26, 2015

This passage on the care of widows opens up a larger question: what's the place the church should have in the care of the poor (versus the place the government should have)?

THE POINT OF THE PASSAGE: Taking care of the needy widows was a big deal in the early church. - There was a different societal structure and a lack of social safety net back then. The church stepped in to help. - Unpack some of the passage. - The passage raises a more general question: why ...read more

A Proper Altar Call Series

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Dec 27, 2019

We argue over the best methods to win people, including whether we should have altar calls. Perhaps we should stick to the message.

A Proper Altar Call Acts 2:37-41 The “Altar Call” plays a very important part of many Evangelical worship services. We want people to accept Christ as Savior. This is right because the Scripture states that God Himself is not willing that any perish. Considering the dread alternative of eternal ...read more

The Goodness And Severity Of God

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 16, 2014

Even some Christians, and sadly some Christian teachers and preachers amongst them, seem to want to drive a wedge between the ...read more
