     | 6,417 views

    Divine rewards demand that we conduct our lives according to God's rules provided in His Word.

    I consider the initial verses of this chapter to be among the most significant verses of the book. They are, as well, perhaps the most neglected verses of the missive which Paul wrote. I confess that I am ploughing quite a narrow furrow in these expositions. Note that the Apostle appeals to ...read more

    Women have a vital role in the life of the saints. Struggling for mastery over men ensures that they cannot fulfil the role God has graciously given.

  • A Dirty Little Secret About The Church

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 29, 2015
     | 7,787 views

    Churches are too often controlled by immature Christians. Though they think themselves to be mature and godly, they are destructive and harmful. Christians need to work at maturing in Christ to ensure that He is honoured through the Body of Christ.

And this we will do if ...read more
