    The focus here is the union with Christ that produces the communion with one another as his body.

    Introduction In the previous passage Paul has taught that everyone in the church has spiritual gifts, that they all come from the same source, viz, God, and that they are to be used for the common good. With these gifts in mind, he now impresses upon them the profound truth of their union in ...read more

     | 12,715 views

    The Lord had three things to commend this church for, but the rebuke brought focus to the very real problem of loosing your love for Christ.

    As I believe the Lord is leading, it is imperative for us to consider exactly what type of church Jesus desires to have. While opinions and ideas could, and probably would run rampant concerning that topic, there is one place the answer may be clearly found. That is in God’s Word. While many ...read more
