     | 1,838 views

    What is Laziness? It is being unwilling to work or being idle. Here is where Paul admonishes the church against laziness.

    There were a few people falsely teaching the Thessalonian church that being as Christ was returning soon, people should stop working, lay aside any responsibilities, quit planning for the future, and just sit back and wait. Be that as it may, their absence of action just drove them into ...read more

    ​are We Truly The Salt Of The Earth Or Have We Become Bland?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Apr 28, 2023
     | 1,445 views

    What does it mean to be good for nothing? Does it mean that a person is of little worth? How does the concept of salt compare with the Christian?

    What is salt used for and for what is it good for? In Matthew 5:13, assuming a seasoning has no flavor, it has no worth. On the off chance that Christians put forth no attempt to influence their general surroundings, they are of little worth to God. If we are like the world in an excessive amount, ...read more
