Sola scriptura (Latin: by scripture alone) is a theological doctrine held by Christian denominations that the Christian scriptures are the sole infallible rule of faith and practice. This is my fifth blog on Jesus’s teaching. I will do one more next month. Studying the ascension and the response of the apostles has been good for me. […]
After the Resurrection, Part I
This is our third blog on Jesus teaching. We could probably spend the rest of our time here. This month we are looking at Jesus teaching between the resurrection and the ascension. Forty days. God likes this number. Since it is Jesus’s last words while on earth, I think we should pay special attention to […]
The Resurrection
I have attached the latest blog. It is on the Resurrection which is fitting with the season. This is a very important time to God and Jesus and we should search our heart to see if we are appreciating the work of God. Like the story of Lazarus and the Rich Man, these verses are […]
Happy New Year
R.C Sproul … and my 44-year-old neighbor died in December. Death is always near and clears out the woods for the new trees. Anyway, that introduces our next blog. Today I read a Greek view of life after death (dated 7000 bc). It was convoluted and hard to track but it made a stab at […]
Season of Joy
Merry Christmas to you. We have a lot to be grateful for during this season, so be joyful. Con and Gayle How Can We Rejoice Always? In his letter to the Philippians, the Apostle Paul speaks about joy and about the Christian’s duty to rejoice over and over again. For example, he writes, “Rejoice in the […]
Growth as a Disciple, Part II
Attached is the new blog on discipleship. I am pressed to do this because we use this word so casually and loosely and incorrectly, I felt a need to make a comment. Here are some comments that our Savior Jesus made on the subject. Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, […]
Growth as a Disciple
The bible is clear, we are to take our life after salvation and invest in the things of God in preparation for Heaven. Salvation is not a renewal to return to the world feeling better about ourselves. As we walk with God it is very important that we use the Words of God correctly, Mat […]
Five Crowns for Believers
Well at last I will finish up on Rewards. I hope my points drove you into the Word for investigation of these truths. They are rebuffed or ignored in Christendom today and you don’t want that to happen. Here is a message from the book on Heaven “Revealing the mysteries of Heaven” David Jeremiah “I […]
Gain/Motivation
I remember 30 years ago when the laymen begin to speak of consequence in Heaven. It was controversial at that time and still is. We want to believe that there is no consequence to way we invest our life. This is poor thinking and anti-scriptural. I heard a sermon this week where the pastor noted […]
Church Discipline
This is the next blog continuing the theme of gaining a Christian World View. This blog is on Church discipline that is given by us from God. God sets the rules for dealing with a fellow believer that has gone into rebellion or unrepentant sin. The Bible takes a great deal of time to describe […]
