The Stirring
of the Heart
The story of Nehemiah and the captives leaving Babylon
is a striking parallel with the call of the Gospel today.
The call by King Cyrus to “go up to Jerusalem in Judah
and rebuild the temple of the Lord, the God of Israel, the
God who is in Jerusalem” would have been overwhelming.
However, it wasn’t at all. Although they were in a
foreign land, with foreign customs and gods, many did not
want to leave.
Contradictions
A compelling testimony of a Christian facing many
contradictions in his own life in light of what he read
in the Bible.
Where, Oh, Where
Can it Be?
Is the Body of Christ ethereal
or corporeal?
Only Make Believe
With apologies to Kern & Hammerstein...
The Shift
from Community Life to Doctrine
After the first century, correct doctrine became
the litmus test for faith instead of loving as Christ commanded.
The Favored Religion
Many of the basic tenents of their faith, religious
practice, and doctrine come from th eintegration of the
church and state during the reign of the Roman Emperor Constantine.
Distinguished
What are the distinguishing characteristics of
those who serve God?
Is Anything
Required of a Disciple?
Does salvation by grace through faith release
the believer from obeying the commandments? Does Christ
require anything of His followers?
The Living Dead
"Why do you seek the living among the dead?"
What's in a
Name?
I’d much rather call the Son of God, my
Savior, by His true name — the name His own mother,
and foster father, and all of His friends called Him.
