May 18, 2022

It's an ironic shift of terms today when we think of worship in consumeristic terms, when biblically, the consumer of worship is God. We need to understand what it means to truly worship God together.

Free Resource | Does the Bible Promote Tolerance or Intolerance?
One group says the Bible is a book about love, mercy, and kindness. They think of the story of the Good Samaritan and of Jesus telling us to turn the other cheek. So how could anyone think the Bible prevents a tolerant society? But for another group, the Bible is far from tolerant. There’s the conquest of Canaan. There’s Elijah killing Baal’s prophets by his own hand. And in the New Testament, Jesus talks often about hell. That’s not tolerant. What then can we say in answer to this question?

Some people today say they're spiritual but not religious. They want Jesus, the Bible, and spiritual things, but they don't want the church. But it's so important that we stay with the community of God's people and gather as a church.

We tend to think in Christian circles that grace is something that is easy to understand. No one fails to obtain the grace of God, right? Grace is not self-generated, it's a gift that we all need.

The word justification is often not really understood. Yet in many ways it is the heart of the Christian faith. We need to grasp it, and Paul helps us do that.

Christianity is not a faith of yesterday, it's a faith of the future. We are moving ahead to the city that is to come. The future belongs to those who follow Jesus.

Western Christianity's great heresy is individualism. We tend to think it's me and my God. And when we come to church we think we're consuming what is on offer. This is totally opposed to the biblical worldview of what it means to be a Christian. Instead, we need to commit ourselves to intentional spiritual development.

Nothing is happenstance. There's no such thing as luck. God shapes all things. He gives us the tools to put together a personal development plan for spiritual growth.

Watching online services is not the same as attending church. We need to meet together to encourage and exhort one another. We need the fellowship and community of physically being together.

These days everybody needs encouragement. Christians need to focus on encouraging one another no matter where we are.

Just as there was a great need for clarity regarding the gospel when Galatians was written, so it is today. Paul helps us think clearly and feel deeply about the true gospel.

As Christians, our faith is rooted in the past events of Jesus' death and resurrection, but we also need to to focus on the future when Jesus is coming back. We need to be solidly grounded in the past but also looking forward to all he's going to do for us in the future.
