Beware Of False Teachers And False Doctrine

The Bible is the most amazing book that has ever been written. Time after time, situations of life arise, and the Bible always has the answers that we need. With that being stated, I wonder just how often some people even read the Bible. I know that the masses of humanity are largely ignorant of

Scriptural Worship-Part Four

In no way should The Lord’s Supper become a common meal. Apparently, that is what happened amongst the congregation in Corinth.
