Seeking Unity
(based on 1 Corinthians 1:10-17) According to Chuck Smith’s commentary, despite their giftedness, the church at Corinth was rife with carnality. This tells us giftedness does not equal spirituality. Realizing this fact should motivate us to submit to one another … Continue reading
The Christian Vote
Habakkuk 2:4 gives us the saying, “the righteous person will live by his faith.” Romans 1:17 rewords it slightly, saying, “…as it is written, The righteous shall live by faith.” Other verses, such as Galatians 3:11 repeat this concept. But … Continue reading
Show Me Your Papers!
On our 41st anniversary my wife and I bought some wine. The check out clerk said, “I’ll need to see some ID.” “Why?” I asked. The store requires it. We check everyone’s ID who buys alcoholic beverages. I told her … Continue reading

Why The Church Lacks Unity
Isaiah 53:6, a familiar verse, goes to the heart of why the Church lacks unity. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. … Continue reading

STOP YOUR GRUMBLING
There was a time when I stopped going to church. For over ten years I gave up meeting with other Christians to worship (Hebrews 10:25). I had not lost my faith in Jesus, but I had been hurt by disappointment … Continue reading
