Righteous But Foolish

Contributed by Kayode Omotoso on Jul 4, 2014

Most of us are too spiritual to think of eventualities in our planning thereby neglect taking precautions. The foolish five couldn’t go with the Groom because they refused to take precaution even when they saw others did. Wisdom is the principal thing!

The story of the ten virgins in the book of Matthew 25:1-13 comes with a load of lessons and several sermons have been preached and are still being preached on it. Our focus today anyways is a critical look at the five that the Bible tagged “fool” among the ten virgins. What were ...read more

These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Thirty-Two. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

Part 4 - Matthew 10:5-6 - No Dogs Or Women Allowed! Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Apr 28, 2010

Jesus only calls men to be among the 12 disciples? Why no women? IS HE A MALE CHAUVINIST? At first He sends them only to Israel? IS HE A RACIST? I don’t think so.

Part 4 - Matthew 10:5-6 - "NO DOGS OR WOMEN ALLOWED." Some years ago in Whitsunday Baptist Church a few men got together and started a prayer meeting. We met every week on a MONDAY MORNING AT 6 AM at Wyn’s place. It was high up on the side of a mountainous hill that overlooked Proserpine and back ...read more

The Upper Class Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 26, 2021

It is hard for modern American Christians to get their minds open to the mind of Christ on this issue because it goes against the grain of our culture. The New Testament, however, is loaded with teachings about being servants.

When soldiers for the 6th Massachusetts Militia were attacked, and many were wounded at the start of the Civil War, they were brought to Washington, D. C. Clara Barton had been a teacher in Massachusetts, and she recognized some of the wounded soldiers as her former students. She went to the ...read more
