    Covenant Before Culture

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 15, 2025
     | 151 views

    Marriage is God’s covenant design from creation, not a cultural contract, and only the new heart given by Christ can overcome hardness, restore faithfulness, and display His love to the world.

    (The Case for Marriage) I. God’s Original Design Genesis 2:18–24 When the Pharisees asked Jesus about divorce, He did something simple and bold. He didn’t argue the law. He didn’t haggle over texts. He went back to the garden. He started at the beginning. He said, “From the beginning it was not ...read more

    Do we equate the things we love about our Churches with the authority of Scripture? You bet we do.

    What is the most authoritative part of the Bible? Is the New Testament the most authoritative part of the Bible? The New Testament is the New Covenant that Jesus Christ gave to us, that sure is a powerful thing. Could the Gospels be the most authoritative part of the Bible, because they are about ...read more

    Cultural Christianity, or "Hollow Christianity" is characterized by worthless worship, worthless words and worthless wisdom....

    "The Problem of Cultural Christianity" Matt. 15: 1-20 Introduction: 1. What is Cultural Christianity? There are many possible answers. 2.

    How should Christians treat those of different cultures and traditions and religions?

    Thursday of the 5th Week in course 2018 Reformation/Revolution Our Scriptures today ought to be at least a little disturbing to us today. In first Kings, Solomon, who was the anointed of God, the heir to the great king David, apostatizes. He had what we can only call a “mess” of wives. “According ...read more

    Witnessing To The Culture Of Death Series

     | 2,338 views

    We must work and pray, as St. Benedict told us to do. Work for the spread of the kingdom in our families and communities, and vote as a Christian must, for godly men and women who will resist the culture of death and legislate for life, peace, and goodness.

    Tuesday of the 2nd Week in Lent 2020 For our first reading today, I have chosen to begin earlier in the first chapter of Isaiah than the Lectionary suggests, and to add the verses the Lectionary omits. The Lenten readings take a great deal of the very long prophecies of Isaiah, but they omit ...read more

    Countering A Divorce Culture

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 12, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,865 views

    Today, we live in a divorce culture; a society without “commitment.” Consumerism causes people to always look for the next best model; and disposability and its take-and-toss attitude has translated into a mindset of divorce.

    When asked on his fiftieth wedding anniversary about his rule for marital bliss and longevity, Henry Ford replied, “It’s just the same as in the automobile business, stick to one model.”(1) When he made this statement, Henry Ford was talking about commitment. I want to share a definition of ...read more

    Identifying With Our Culture Series

     | 5,321 views

    Jesus identified himself with sinful humanity through his baptism. We must learn to identify with our culture if we are going to represent Christ to them.

    Introduction: Have you ever tried to identify with someone that you just had nothing in common with? I find that it’s sometimes hard to identify with people you do know have commonalities with, but it’s especially hard to identify with someone who is radically different. Cultural barriers have ...read more

    THE KINGDOM CULTURE OF LOVE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: John 13:34-35, 1 John 4:7-8 "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to ...read more

    The principle of twelve has a culture in which it thrives and grows. T.E.A.M.S. is an acronym for this culture.

    The Five Cultures of the Vision Habakkuk 2:2-4 NKJV Then the LORD answered me and said: “Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.

    Jesus had no social prejudice nor felt inconvenienced; therefore, He was able to meet the needs of a woman from another country and different culture. Being spiritually-minded allows us to lower our prejudices towards those who are different.

    Leo Tolstoy, author of War and Peace and Anna Karenina, once said that “those who are willing to use their minds without prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their own customs, privileges, or beliefs” possess a state of mind that is not common, but essential for right ...read more

    Do you live in fear? Well it is time to stop. Fear stops us from reaching our true potential but faith is uplifting. Faith in God that is? Try it and see!!

    The Transformer ¶And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.

    Stories like the story of the Transfiguration bring us closer to God and draw us farther away from the world. We need to figure out how to listen for God’s voice among the noise of our worldly lives.

    Have you ever had an experience that was so powerful that it changed your life? I have-that’s why I’m able to stand before you today and preach the good news. Jesus had several powerful experiences, including his Transfiguration, which we heard about in Mark 9:2-9. Transfiguration is a ...read more
