I Quit!

With the daily usage of technology comes new terminology. Some may recognize the term, clickbait, others may not know what that is referring to. Many would view the title of this article as clickbait. Others would describe it as misleading because no, I am not quitting preaching. Many use clickbait to attract viewers or readers. It is all about the angle or advertisement.  The more views you have, the better, is the principle. I believe this is true even for printable bulletins and e-bulletins. We want as many people to read about God’s word as possible. If a title catches […]

Can We Say It Better?

What is it called when someone thinks that they can do something better than others and they are extremely proud of it? Being arrogant, right?

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Philippians 3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; If you were to go on stage of a large assembly of people who believe themselves to be Christians, quote these two passages, and then teach that we are required to give up a certain lifestyle or habits in order to have a relationship with God; You would get booed off the stage.

Some Should Not Teach

The Preview: “Simply put, there are some who should not teach. They are dangerous. They like to push buttons and see how far they can stretch the envelope of what people will tolerate. They are not bringing an understanding to the Scriptures, but creating doubt, suspicion, and harm.” The Article: Titus 1:10-11 “For there are many rebellious men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, who must be silenced because they are upsetting whole families, teaching things they should not teach for the sake of sordid gain.” Multiple times in the N.T. there are warnings about the rise […]
