The first requirement that leads to koinonia is to be Christ-centered not man centered. We may think that koinonia is what we have with other believers, which is true. However, it is not really possible if the Lord Himself is not in the middle of our relationships with others, and the main purpose...

As we have been focusing on how to judge ourselves in the faith, let us now move on to how we judge our work in the Lord. First, let us consider that as it is not easy to judge ourselves, as we will tend to be either too generous or too harsh with ourselves. It can be even more difficult to judge...

Last week, I shared a personal experience of how the Lord is helping me grow in patience. This week, we will look at how just focusing on one thing it can help us have a breakthrough in may other areas, even things we are not focusing on. This is actually a military tactic that can help us greatly...

I have learned that if I do not write down my goals and check regularly on my progress to achieve them, it’s unlikely I will achieve them. This seems to be why the Apostle Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 13:5, “Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves!” Abiding in the Lord or...

The prayer that Jesus gave His disciples to pray, which has been prayed by His disciples for nearly two thousand years, is for His kingdom to come, and His will to be done, on earth as it is in heaven. We can be sure this prayer is going to be answered, and it is being answered in our time. This we...

Biblical prophetic scenarios of the end of the age have much to say about the darkness growing darker and the light and the glory of the Lord becoming brighter. Which it will be for us is determined by us. It is a biblical principle that we are as close to the Lord as we want to be. We’re promised...

Last week we began to look into what the life would look like for those who stay on the path of life until the end. This is important because the Lord said it was those who “endured to the end” that would be saved (see Matthew 10:22, 24:13, Mark 13:13). I think one can have a major fall or falls,...

Those who follow Christ are living the greatest adventure we can live on this earth. Those who are following a religion are living perhaps the most boring life possible. If we’re so bored with Christian life that we give it as little of our time and attention as possible, we’re on the wrong path...

Introduction In an era marked by global instability and great domestic challenges, the principles on which the founders based the U.S. Constitution are more vital than ever for us to understand and re-establish as our national foundation. As the United States approaches another election cycle...

Any time believers in our congregation display weakness, we should try to strengthen them in the faith and not reject them. We should keep trying to help them as long as they continue to try. However, when they quit, it is not possible to prop them up. As harsh as it may seem, we cannot expend that...
