The
Conduct God Expects From Our Members Read this article and it should help you to
better understand the "unity of the Spirit" in the bond of peace and
love (Eph. 4:1-3; Col. 3:12-14. These 7 Virtues are discussed as being
necessary for each member of the local church: Lowliness (Humility), Meekness
(Gentleness), Longsuffering (Patience), Forebearing
(Showing Tolerance), Tender Mercies (Heart of Compassion), Kindness and Forgiving one another. Understanding these in this context
answers such important questions as: Whom can I talk to? When do I go to
another? Can I speak publicly in rebuking to thus maintain this unity? What
would a refusal to listen indicate? And what happens to one who does not
forgive if one repents? When this bond
is strong as it should be QUARRELS
will be addressed and settled scripturally, and the bond will not
fracture.
Questions about Witchcraft Answers

9-11-2001 ~ Things I Can Count On Today America was attacked by terrorists on
this date. This is a “time” when people thrive upon inappropriate statements,
and misleading applications of God’s Word. Many love to “go with the flow” and
jump on the bandwagon! Illustrations of such would be, “Nostradamas
said…,” “Armageddon has come,?” “the
Mark of the Beast.” An important part of
this study shows when men
have QUESTIONS as to "Why?" or "What is the future?"
that Christians have a limited number of
precious things that they can depend upon. These few but precious things
are where a Christian's life really is, anywhere and any place that they might
be.
A
Consideration of I Cor. 14:34-35 Women’s
conduct in both learning and teaching. The role of women
in the church is of such a nature that they
are to learn in QUIETNESS with
all submission. They must not teach, nor usurp authority the
man, but BE IN QUIETNESS (I
Tim. 2:11-12). The necessity of this role prompted the following statement
to the church at Corinth: "Let your women keep silence in the churches:
for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under
obedience, as also saith the law. [35] And if they
will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame
for women to speak in the church" (I
Cor. 14:34-35).
Things in
Christ not found in Islam (The QURAN, KORAN)
One simple but effective way of explaining the difference between a major
“world” religion and the gospel of Christ (the New Testament, Matt. 26:28) is
to show the things found “in Christ” that are not found elsewhere. Here are
things in Christ not found in ISLAM.
The Quran On Jesus (Series)
(The QURAN, KORAN) You will often hear that
Islam honors all prophets, including Jesus. Just what “kind” of honor does ISLAM give
to the Lord Jesus Christ? It is certainly not that they believe in His
deity because they do not. The truth is ISLAM
repeatedly denies that Jesus is God. ISLAM
also denies the basic tenants of the New Testament teaching about Jesus and
salvation. How do they supposedly honor Him when the honor you give to Him
is the dishonor of saying He was not who He said He was? Why not follow this series and see the
many truths that ISLAM denies about Jesus that the New Testament teaches
and Christians believe?
Newspaper
Articles: Christianity Is Not Islam (Series) (The
QURAN, KORAN) No
one should disregard or deny the “intolerance” of radical Muslims for others’
faiths as shown in current news from Egypt and Iraq. This shows why such
intolerance must be kept out of America and elsewhere. The truth is that Muslims themselves deny the
basic principles of Christianity. Thus, they can in turn live civilly with
Christians stating that they do not believe in Muhammad or ISLAM.
Government should not participate in the destruction of the will to
confess Christ. What others think of our belief is not as important in this
context as what they cannot do to Christians in the United States or elsewhere.
Christianity is certainly not a religion that endorses the senseless murder of
individuals for either leaving or disagreeing! This series deals with some of the differences between what the New
Testament teaches about Jesus and what Muslims believe. The articles ran
concurrently with our monthly publications: The Quran On Jesus (Series) .
The
Muslim Feast of Ramadan (The QURAN, KORAN)
Here is a
close look at Ramadan as presented by Muslims from the Quran in English with
English commentaries. Every time I read
what Muslim scholars have to say about Islam their message is clearly that
Islam is a religion that seeks to destroy belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of
God --- it denies the fundamental teaching of the New Testament as the will of God
for all of mankind until the end of time. Their teaching on Ramadan obviously
fits this established pattern! One interesting doctrine also included is what
Muslims are told to do in seeking the forgiveness of their sins.
