Homily - The Virtue Of Impudence 20:38

vor 2 Tagen20:38

20:38

If you ask people to describe their qualities, very few would put “impudent” on their list of adjectives. We’ve been taught that being impudent is wrong. But what does Holy Scripture tell us? And if being impudent before God is something the Christian actually can and should do, then what would that look like, and what examples can we find in Holy …

Exhortation - Colossians 2:8 3:52

3:52

Being a Christian isn’t always easy. The Christian will face many temptations throughout his earthly life. One, perhaps, surprising temptation is to add to the law of God. In fact, others will attempt to force us to do that, as well. But in Colossians, Paul tells us to see to it that no one takes us captive. If other people want to give us a new la…

Homily - Who Will Be Moved? 28:39

28:39

Christian, will you be shaken to abandon your faith in God one day? King David wrote Psalm 15 as both a warning and a charge to the people of God to live honorable lives, despising what is vile while being genuine worshippers of God in his kingdom. This psalm teaches us what it means to be a faithful covenant member and warns against doing the thin…

Mary chose the necessary and good thing when Jesus came to the house of her and her sister, Martha.

Homily - Blessings Await The Obedient 28:58

28:58

Sometimes people get confused about the kind of gifts God hands out to his children. Particularly in our modern American context, we have been taught to focus on what could be called “soft gifts”, rather than the tangible, physical gifts God even promises in his own word. There are common errors people make when they read passages like Deuteronomy …

The book of James teaches us something about how to pray. In particular, James 5:16b teaches that the effective and fervent prayer “avails much.” If that’s the case, then we need to understand what effective and fervent prayer is, and how we can avoid ineffective prayer. We must beware of bad habits we sometimes fall into and what we should do inst…

God calls us to pray at all times and for all people. But many times it is the most powerful and influential rulers who Christian people fail to pray for in their daily habits of intercession and supplication.

The world is a frightening and dangerous place. Because of the fall, there are many threats we face.

In Galatians, Paul tells us that we have been set free by Christ…for freedom. He then admonishes us to stand firm and not to fall again into a yoke of slavery. But before we can do any of that, we need to know more about this freedom and what it entails, or doesn’t entail. Sometimes Christians get the wrong idea about the freedom they have been giv…

The Holy Trinity is a difficult concept for us to wrap our heads around. Truth be told, we will not fully comprehend the Trinity on this side of heaven.

Foolish disputes are something to be avoided in the church. The problem is they will always be with us. That’s why Paul warns Titus about avoiding them.
