We are Called to Stretch and Grow beyond what we Think we can Do!

Posted on September 29, 2010 by biblicaleschatology

It grieves our Lord deeply when we reject Him or turn from Him and His ways. He is especially grieved when we seek the tantalizations the world has to offer and ignore His wonder and blessings. As our Lord showed us by example, we are to follow up by caring for His people—our brothers and [...]

How is the Flow of the Spirit in your Church and Leaders?

Posted on September 11, 2010 by biblicaleschatology

We are also duty-bound to be diligent in taking and receiving His flow of the Spirit, not for our salvation, but to grow in life and ministry. These benefits are the reasons we are given this precious opportunity to have the Fruit of the Spirit. God’s love working in us needs to be known and [...]

How Fruitful is your Church and Leaders?

Posted on September 11, 2010 by biblicaleschatology

A lack of Fruit is what Christ was so concerned about with the leaders of His day (just read Matthew 23) and why He spoke so much about this and that the coming judgment for our actions and responsibility. We will be held accountable as followers and especially as leaders; thus, we have to [...]

The Consequences of not Knowing the Bible

Posted on August 31, 2010 by biblicaleschatology

The Church, as well as the airways, is becoming more and more filled with bad, false teaching from faulty models of biblical interpretation! At the same time, more and more Christians are not delving into the Bible for their spiritual nourishment, rather swapping it for “feel good” books that do not properly instruct and/or [...]

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. The sheep are skinny and dumb! And, many of the shepherds tend to be merely puffed-up, directionless idiots leading their flock away from [...]

The Problem of Eisegesis

Posted on August 22, 2010 by biblicaleschatology

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. That fewer and fewer pastors are using and reading the Bible. Fewer and fewer Christians are living the life of a [...]

Whose Dwelling is your Church?

Posted on August 13, 2010 by biblicaleschatology

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 [...]
