The Purpose Drivel Church IV
This is in continuation of my series on Mr. Rick Warren’s purpose-driven ideology. In chpater 11 of his book, The Purpose Driven Church, Mr. Warren addresses the issue of “developing your strategy”. He stetches jesus’ words about making the disciples “fishers of men” beyond Biblical boundaries to present us a terribly flawed premise. When Jesus [...]
Read MoreJudge Not
Many times, Christians throw the phrase, “Judge not!” at those who in obedience to Scriptures exercise discernment in refuting error and exposing falsehood in the Church. Here I present a detailed study of what the Bible says about judging or not judging. This is going to be a long read; so grab your Bible, a [...]
Read MoreClaim a prophecy for your life today
Here are some examples of what the average Church leader today calls prophecies: – God said there is someone here; He will separate you from those who want to destroy your vision. – God said there is someone here, He said you have been enjoying addition, but you will soon be enjoying multiplication. – God [...]
Read MoreLoving the Feeling: Mysticism in the Church
The Gospel that Jesus proclaimed and passed on to us through the apostles was (and still is) one based totally on cold hard facts. It was a gospel that had nothing to do with how you felt about anything. When that Gospel was preached, it slayed men. Then it gave them a new, different life. [...]

Read MoreWater Baptism: Essential for Salvation?

I responded to the mail stating that the Bible does not teach that water baptism is essential to (or a requirement for) salvation. The writer responded with a detailed (but clearly off-track) treatise on why a person [...]
Read MoreThe Mysteries of the Kingdom
Again and again, we hear certain men talk about the “mysteries” of the kingdom or of the Gospel (or whatever other term they choose to use). Usually, these men speak of these “mysteries” as things that are still hidden and that require some special revelation by themselves to deliver to the rest of the Church. [...]
Read MoreUnderstanding the Book of Acts
As much as the book of Acts is a popular book of the bible, it is one of the most abused books. It is in part because of this abuse that grave errors have crept into the Body of Christ. If the reader will bear the following points in mind, he/she will escape many of [...]
Read MoreContext is everything
In this article, I want to examine our attitude to interpreting Scriptures, especially when faced with two different commandments or instructions that may seem to be contradictory. For example, the Bible teaches that we are saved through faith in Jesus Christ. We understand this to be the underlying premise for anything that has to do [...]
Read MoreSo near; yet so far from truth
Concerning matters of spirituality, is it really important what Scriptures instruct us to do, and what it does not? In this article, I will present why we must be careful to follow what is written. As we already know, there are two simple yardsticks for guiding anyone (even if you have no understanding of Greek, [...]
