If they [the pastors[ don't fit then it is between the person in the congregation and God. If called you to be there, then it should be God calls you to 'come out' of there. Of course a lot of people are in a place and don't have a clue as whether or not God called them to be there... although...

So then when we have chosen or have been chosen to sit under ministers if in our heart we see that they are not really laboring in the word and doctrine, then should we still accord them with 'double honour'? I presume that single honor would be given to our faithful brothers and sisters...

No argument from me!

If you go just by translations, who but God knows... and those with whom He shares via the Holy Spirit? I regularly read it in the KJV as well as these two: "Porque estrecha es la puerta, y angosto el camino que lleva á la vida, y pocos son los que la hallan." Matt 7:14 [Valera Antigua...

Over the years after my time in the Catholic Church I had 8 pastors. Early on I did not have a clue as to what authority they should have or did have. With the very first one I got into in trouble for asking him seriously where he [the pastor] got his authority. He never answered me and rebuked...

Or does it simply mean for many that they will remain always dead as they were when born of their natural mothers? For some it may mean that they grew weary of well doing and turn back to consume again their own vomit and walk again in the death into which they initially had been born. By the...

Every man born of woman has enough light to see that there is something better, which enables him to choose to pursue that something better: "That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." John 1:9 There is no final salvation in that little glimmer of light in...

Yes, and Satan had done what? "And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said unto him, It is...

I have always liked you my friend, even when a few times I could not espouse your beliefs on an item or two. God looks at the heart and that is where we should all be wanting to look. What can we see in another person? That which God opens to us. In you there is something 'good' which means...

Even so with regard to lording it over us but also see... "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the...

Continuing to pray even as I remember also dear Willie. He was blunt on some things, similar to my wife, but he was a very generous person. I have several different 'books' he sent to me via the Internet. He often would mention this book or that one then offer to send it to anyone who was...

"But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee" I Chron 29:14

Discernment or "eyes to see".

While I agree, what does it mean to believe in Jesus? It certainly means more than believing that he exists!

It is not that there is more than one Jesus, meaning one truth. It is that everyone, who has any knowledge of that truth, which Jesus is, disagrees with many others, who also say that they know Jesus. This is true of you and it is true of me... until we have it all... or until we see his face...

He chose to call many, but not many chose to answer of those who did choose to answer not many are to be faithful to the end of their course! "And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the...

The last day? Is that not today? "I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work." John 9:4 "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."...

When I first started to serve God for real in 1976 I was an avid Bible student. I memorized and studied continuously for years. My flesh, my mind, my intellect, my will! Then with all of that dead knowledge in me, I back slid for 10 long years. God drew me back to Him in 2002. I still read my...

God wants each of us to really love Him and follow Him when He has allowed the existence of another seemingly attractive alternative. The attractiveness is a deception, but many and perhaps most are blind to it. "And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they...

And the number of denominations based on the Bible continues to increase as men separate with their 'agreeing to disagree' in separate places. Will all the parts of the Body of Christ be connected to each other and all subject to the Head?
