Head Coverings For Women
(1 Corinthians 11:2-16) There was a practice in the church for many years where women were expected to wear some kind of head covering when they attended church. This practice has weakened and pretty much disappeared today, but even so there are some churches that still hold to this tradition quite strongly. Much of the…

The Gospel For Free
(1 Corinthians 9:1-18) Do you like to get things for free? No cost, no charge and no payment? I know I do, especially when those things have some value, and even more when they are of great value. Well, there is no greater gift we can receive for free than to receive the knowledge of…

The Unleavened Truth
(1 Corinthians 5:6-8) The way to life cannot and must not be compromised. There is no place for compromise in seeking the truth and the ways of God, for truth is not compromised. What is leaven? In a baking sense it is an agent, such as yeast, that causes batter or dough to rise, especially…

The Church Defiled
(1 Corinthians 5:1-5) Nothing defiles the church so much as the acceptance of sinfulness and evil in the church. When the church accepts false teaching and when the teachers, preachers, elders and apostles of the church not only do nothing about it but accept and even embrace it, then that church is on a downward…

God’s Building
(1 Corinthians 3:12-15) Quite often recently I have written about the need for a strong foundation on which we are to build our walk with Jesus Christ. But like a house or building, it does not end there. You cannot live in just the foundation of a house. You need walls and a roof and…

Is Christ Divided?
(1 Corinthians 1:10-17) As I read this section of scripture there was one question that Paul posed to the church at Corinth that strikes to the heart of the church down to this day. At the start of verse 13 he writes, “Is Christ divided?” The answer to that question is clearly…No. Christ is certainly…

Dissension In The Church
(Romans 16:17-23) In these last verses of Romans 16 Paul warns the church to be aware of those who create divisions and dissensions in the church. Paul knew full well that there would be such people come into the church for this was prophesied by the Lord Jesus Christ who said at various times there…

Hold Fast To What Is Good
(Romans 12:9) As I read this verse these final few words seemed to stick out. Paul encourages and entreaty us to hate what is evil and to hold fast to what is good. It is in the determination of the difference between good and evil that we strike difficulties, especially in this modern day and…

Heart Of The Matter
(Romans 2:25-29) Circumcision was the sign given to Abraham as an outward recognition of the faith that he had in the promises that God had given to him. It was a sign that sealed the covenant of faith between God, Abraham and his descendants. But what is important to note in this is that it…

Flattery
(Acts 24:1-9) The apostle Paul had been imprisoned and had already stood before several tribunals to give an account of himself and after being moved to Caesarea was brought before the council once again. This time he was to be examined before the Roman governor of the region, Felix. Five days after Paul had been…

No Shortcuts
(Acts 19:13-17) There are no shortcuts to enter the kingdom of God and there are no shortcuts to receiving His power and using it in ministry. The only way to come to God is thru Jesus Christ and the only way to be able to receive and use the power of God is through receiving…

False Spirits
(Acts 16:16-18) Do not believe everything you see and hear! That is the warning we get from this section of scripture. There is truth and then there are words and teachings that sound like truth but are not. Paul discovered this when he was in Philippi and was being followed by a slave girl who…
