A Pew Moments with Perry – “He’s in My Wife’s Seat” Paul or Saul had a past. That past included hurting people, “ravaging the church” (8:3), breaking into “house after house” (8:3), “breathing threats and murder” (9:1), and throwing men and women into prison (8:3; 9:2). Then as unbelievable as anything can be, this unbeliever […]

If an entity is powerful enough to create life, and is eternal having always existed; by definition what is that entity? GOD! Now atheists hypothesize (i.e., believe) that it is probable (if not definite) that matter is eternal having never been created; and that the spark of life began in a heated moment called […]

“Garage Stays”. That’s what the advertisement read for a house for sale. I’ve heard of “garage sales” which contrary to the obvious meaning of “garage sale” doesn’t mean the garage is for sale!

Why do we share the Lord’s supper on the first day of the week? Many answer, “That’s when we have an example” and cite Acts 20:7. May I suggest that the wrong question is “Why shouldn’t we follow the example of the church in the first century as to when to take the Lord’s supper?” […]

Satan doesn’t care if you are a Christian. In fact, he probably prefers that you are a Christian. That doesn’t sound right, does it? If you aren’t a believer, Satan loses the ability to tempt others to call you a hypocrite and discredit Christ’s Way. He misses the opportunity to have others ridicule all Believers […]

Can a church scripturally exist and operate without elders? If your congregation does not have elders, this is a question that comes up. Let’s look at Acts 1 for the answer. Judas is dead, abandoning his post. That post is called an episkopē (Acts 1:20) from which we get “overseer”. As the apostles were […]

Ever notice how many parallels there are between Acts 2:21 and Acts 2:38? Is this a coincidence? Will anyone deny we do not need to “call on the name of the Lord” to be “saved”? Will anyone deny “calling on the name of the Lord” precedes “will be saved”? And yet, many deny we must […]
