There are several reasons why we pray. We are commanded to pray in scriptures (Phil. 4:6-7, 1 Thess. 5:17), prayer is communication with God (Heb. 4:15-16), Jesus prayed (Mark 1:35), and Jesus even seemed to expect it as a work of piety (Matt. 6:5-15). But the question, “Why pray,” is one that is asking whatContinue reading “Why Pray?”

Washing the Saint’s Feet
Some do and some don’t. That is the observance of washing one another’s feet. I’m not going to make a distinction of whether you should or shouldn’t but just that this is a very positive experience that we are told of by Jesus. He says in John 13:17, “If ye know these things, happy areContinue reading “Washing the Saint’s Feet”
A Ministry of Giving
We have heard the phrase, “It is better to give than to receive.” It is probably better to note that this finds scriptural validation in Acts 20:35 when the apostle Paul spoke“I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of theContinue reading “A Ministry of Giving”

How to handle a full plate.

One Testimony
Several times I have encouraged my congregation to share their “Jesus Story.” It is simply how they were before they met Christ, how they came to faith, and their life now. In order to testify of Christ we do not have to have all the theological terms and nuances firmly set inContinue reading “One Testimony”
Church Seasons
If you take the simple request, “What time is it,” and switch the order of the words you can get a deeper question, “Time, what is it?” It is one of the most precious possession that we have but squander it as if it is an infinite supply. For some, time is simply a quantifiableContinue reading “Church Seasons”
Catch Phrase Christianity
Something that I have observed in many churches and individuals is what I would like to call, “Catch-Phrase Christianity.” I have no problem with sermons and Sunday school lessons that have to deal with a word study or a nice little phrase out of a scripture. The problem though is that many times we seeContinue reading “Catch Phrase Christianity”
The Preacher and the Preaching.
Preaching is the leading way that the Lord has chosen for the Gospel of Jesus to be spread. Even though to the world preaching such things, as the cross, are foolish, the people of God know otherwise. It is through faithful preaching of the Gospel message that individuals are saved. The necessity of preaching hasContinue reading “The Preacher and the Preaching.”
