Who Needs Love?

Love is a multifaceted concept. In the English language we use adjectives to make clear what kind of love we are speaking of. The Greeks had four different words to accomplish this differentiation. For physical love they used “eros” which Plato said included the appreciation of beauty. For friendship they used “phileo” and we see… Continue Reading

The Influence of Modern Trends on the Church (Part 3)

Gimmick-based Evangelism Just as the world of denominationalism has been gimmick-driven in recent years, so our people have not been far behind.  We have explored every mechanism under the sun for attracting the public’s attention.

The Influence of Modern Trends on the Church (Part 2)

The Trendy Church  Over the past several decades there has developed a growing mentality that the church is an outmoded organism.  We have lost touch with the “millennial” generation.  It is, therefore, imperative (they say) that we update the church.  We must make it more trendy.

Consider Yourself

I am often asked my opinion about someone else’s standing with God. “They did so-and-so. If they refuse to repent, will they be lost?” Jesus was asked similar questions. Someone said, “Lord, will those who are saved be few?” And He said unto them, “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say… Continue Reading

Are You Ready?

“Are you ready?”  Isn’t this what we ask each other when we have some place to go and a particular time to get there?  I really don’t want to get into the “husband versus wife” discussion on this subject but I feel safe in saying that one of those two is generally ready before the… Continue Reading
