The Fear Of Man
What is your greatest fear: Public speaking? Heights? Flying? Spiders? Snakes? Needles? Enclosed places? Death? We humans have many phobias, but I believe the most common and the greatest fear of all is the fear of man.
The “Fear Of Man”…A Self-Check
“The fear of man bringeth a snare (trap)” (Prov. 29:25).
The Feminization Of God And The Gender-Bender Generation
The cultural shift which is taking place in America seems drastic and sudden. Attempts to explain this appear to defy reason. Democratic lawmakers in Virginia put more effort into “transgendered restrooms” in high schools than fixing the dysfunctional DMV. The President cheers gay athletes and then hails Bruce Jenner’s supposed sex-change as heroic. Now the Supreme Court has ditched the Constitution in favor of same-sex marriage. The list is endless. How can these things be?
The Seriousness Of Slander
I once heard Bill McLeod say, “The favorite indoor sport of Christians is judging and criticizing.” But evil speaking is strictly forbidden by Scripture. “Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law” (James 4:11). The crux of God’s law is loving the Lord and loving people. When you speak evil of your neighbor, you are breaking the law of God which is the law of love. Evil speaking in this context is paramount to slander.
Beyond Confessing Sin—Confessing Scripture!
Some ignore sin while others emphasize confessing sin. Some are big on confessing Christ as Savior, but weak on our position “in Christ.” Confessing sin and confessing Christ are both necessary and important, but confessing the truth of Scripture is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL.
