The Consequences of not Knowing the Bible

Posted on August 31, 2010 by biblicaleschatology

How BIG of a Problem is Bible Illiteracy in the Church?

Posted on August 31, 2010 by biblicaleschatology

These words may be strong, but they are true: From our research and experiences, we have discovered big problems in our churches, the sheepfold of God’s chosen and precious creation.

One of the great tragedies of the church today is “bad teaching,” not just false teaching form the TV preacher crowd, but sloppy teaching and eisegesis from the Conservative and Evangelical even Reformed pulpits.

What are the best interests for your church?

Posted on August 14, 2010 by biblicaleschatology

We usually do not like to submit in American culture; we think it is against our best interests. But, think this through a bit. In Scripture, the wife is in submission as a response to the husband’s love for her, his provision, and his having her best interest and care at heart. It is [...]

How is your churches compassion, care?

Posted on August 14, 2010 by biblicaleschatology

The theme of submission to God is understating His love that covers and protects and in turn helps us relate to others more harmoniously. Real submission brings about closeness when it is formed from love. If it is subjugated, such a barrier to God is formed that, according to Peter, even our prayers will [...]

If you want to be successful as a church you must be willing and able to love! And… real love takes us beyond ourselves! How many of us have ever ventured into a church that was filled with unkindness, where we were ignored or even mistreated? As a pastor, I engage in a tough [...]

The Living Stone is defined as a dwelling! Dwellings need to be cared for, maintained, preserved, and, of course, used. His dwelling is where we can take rest and comfort out of the “weather” of life, and then regroup, recharge, and go out into the world with His Word in our hearts, attitudes, and minds. [...]

Is your Church Committed to Christ or to Trends and Self?

Posted on August 2, 2010 by biblicaleschatology

Because of God’s call and Schaeffer’s influence, we desire to see a church committed to His purpose and poured out to His ways. Then we will see revival through real prayer and devotion to His Lordship. For thirty years we sought “True Truth!” This is what we found, and it is not pretty: …our [...]
