The Lord’s Church Is Not A Denomination
We are free to choose our career path, to choose where we live, & to choose who we vote for during elections. When it comes to worship, our commitment to spiritual matters, & the religion we practice, Scripture is the guide, not our choices! Society tends to say, “one group is as good as another.” …
Are we preparing future Elders?
Scripture directs the church and Elders shepherd the flock. We recently touched on the preparation of future Preachers. Like the Preacher shortage, the church seems to have an Elder shortage. Before we can prepare men for this role, we must understand the qualifications of an Elder. We will begin with Titus 1:5-9 (Paul writes to …
Are We Preparing Future Preachers? (3)
I would like to share a portion of an essay I received recently regarding someone who wants to attend “Preaching School.” As part of the application process to attend this particular school, potential candidates have to write an essay based on the prompt, “Why I want to preach.” The first sentence in this young man’s …
Are we preparing future Preachers?
Statistics vary on how many congregations are looking for Preachers. We know for certain the demand to fill pulpits across the brotherhood is greater than the supply!

The Bible plainly teaches we are to live peaceable with all men (Romans 12:18). Christians are not to seek division, strife, & confrontation. Christians are to follow Christ & …
The Influence of Men: Be Cautious
We all could name people who have mislead others spiritually & morally. Many denominations and cults will generally elevate an individual to the point of following that person’s teaching blindly, even to the point of destruction. People allow their ability to discern & filter truth to become clouded because of someone who is charismatic & …
What Are Your Goals?
Barely into 2018, we have an opportunity to review, reflect, and reset in regards to our spiritual lives. We have an opportunity to be better than we were. Challenges are inevitable, growth is optional. Setting spiritual goals is the first step to spiritual growth! Choose to grow… Closer to Christ: 1 Peter 1:18-19 says knowing …
Understanding Grief & Loss
Grief is a natural and healthy consequence that should occur when a loss has happened in your life! We are reminded of this in Job 6:1-3, Then Job answered and said: Oh, that my grief were fully weighed, And my calamity laid with it on the scales! For then it would be heavier than the …
