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.  Some members of the congregation were not observing the memorial appropriately.  The brethren there were told, “When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord’s supper.  For in

Scriptural Worship-Part Three

When addressing the church in Corinth, Paul made it clear how he felt about preaching.  He stated, “For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel:  not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.  For the preaching of the cross is to them that

Spiritual Worship-Part Two

          The first act of worship that we will examine is prayer to the Father.  In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus declared to whom prayer should be addressed.  He said, “But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret;

Handle With Care

It is very clear that Paul loved the church in Corinth.  More than once, Paul did what he could to teach, encourage, and admonish those brethren.  When he did such, Paul was very careful that he did not rely on his own feelings and opinions.  Instead, Paul utilized the best resource that was available to

When God Shuts The Door

At different times, I, and others, have prayed to the Father for “doors” to be opened so that good works can be done.  Through His providence, God has done just that over the years.  However, we need to realize that the same God Who opens those “doors” is the same God Who can shut “doors”

Worse And Worse

The third chapter of Second Timothy is both revealing and depressing at the same time.  Please do not misunderstand me, I am not demeaning any part of the Word of God.  I am simply expressing how one can feel when he reads that chapter, and then compares it to the modern-day problems that exist.  Let
