What About What The Bible Doesn't Say

Contributed by Michael Bolin on Jun 7, 2009

what we eat is irrelevant-- but how our actions affect others in the body is not irrelevant.

In our scriptures this morning, Paul moves now to a heated Corinthian dispute over an issue of doctrine. Should Christians eat meat from animals that have been offered first to pagan deities, and can they take part in a dinner party the host dedicates to a god or goddess?

The Sleeping Church

Lessons From Paul's Salutations

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 18, 2015

It is most amazing to me how the apostle Paul opens his letters to the churches. This sermon concentrates on the salutation used in the letter to the Colossians and provides insight into how we could or should interact with each other. Praise be to God!

Colossians 1:1-13 “1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, 2 to God’s holy people in Colossae, the faithful brothers and sisters in Christ: Grace and peace to you from God our Father.” “3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord ...read more

Contributed by Jose R. Hernandez on Nov 5, 2000

The side of God that many ignore or pretend not to know.

Turn up the Heat I was thinking the other day about the way people think of God and I received a message which is quite strong. I say that it is quite strong because we all have an idea or concept of how God is. We all have the concept that He is willing to forgive us, and that He always has His ...read more

So what does God’s word tell us about this preoccupation many of us have with worrying? Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? ...read more
