Go For The Men

November 9, 2018May 21, 2021men3 Comments

It has been said, “If you preach to women, you’ll reach women. If you preach to children, you’ll reach children. If you preach to men, you’ll reach men, women, and children.” The typical program-based church has an endless array of “ministries.” Normally, they will have children’s programs galore, a ladies’ ministry, youth group, pre-school/daycare, sports teams, Sunday School for all ages, and maybe a Christian school. Does it strike you a bit odd that the only group left out of the line-up is the men?

Promoting Irresponsibility

To say that character and discipline are out of vogue would be an understatement. Ours has become a culture that caters to the irresponsible. In children’s sports participation awards have replaced trophies for winning. Forced equal outcomes in childhood are preparing this generation for the coming socialistic takeover.

Whatever Happened To “Fear And Trembling”?

Paul’s admonition to “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling” (Phil. 2:12) is a seldom expounded, and unpopular, text. By the way, it does not say to work out your salvation with “Fun and Calmness”—but with Fear and Trembling.

A Man Is Deceived When... 1. He becomes a hearer and not a doer of the Word. (James 1:22) 2. He says he has no sin. (1 John 1:8)

Cultural Vs. Biblical Churches

August 17, 2018May 21, 2021churchOne Comment

You attract what you are... right? Churches tend to assimilate people who look alike, think alike, vote alike, dress alike, sound/sing alike, earn alike, sin alike, etc., right? So what about the mixture of nationalities and cultures that comprised the early church: Greeks, Jews, Barbarians, Scythians, etc. (see Col. 3:11)? How were they able to unite such cultural diversity in this new organism called the church?

Why Prayer Was So Powerful In The Early Church

July 7, 2018May 21, 2021prayer2 Comments

Most prayer in the Book of Acts was corporate prayer. The Apostles had two main responsibilities: leading the church in prayer and ministering the Word (Acts 6:4). Serving tables and the like were handed over to Spirit-filled men (deacons) so the shepherds could oversee the prayer ministry in the church. Is it not instructive that shepherding in prayer is mentioned prior to the important task of preaching? This order is not a trivial fact. But what other factors contributed to such powerful prayer?
