2Co 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. There absolutely is no early church, no later cburch. There is no primitive church. The Church in Acts 2 is the same Church that Christ said He would build (Mat 16). He began building it in Acts 2, and He is still building it today. It is all the same building.Why in the

Act 19:13 But also some of the Jewish exorcists, who went from place to place, attempted to name over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, "I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches."Yesterday, we got a call about a house in Salisbury.

Who wants to be a Christian? Who can become a Christian? What qualifies a person to be a Christian? It might be trusting in Christ. It might be the condition of being born from above. It might be many things. But, in Antioch,

We are a small fellowship in Delaware. We have been in existence for around 30 years. One of the founding principles is a strong love of the Word of God. We place a heavy emphasis on learning, studying, knowing and using the Word. All revelation comes from the source, the Word of God. We have many brothers and sisters who know the Word in a living way. It is something that can be felt, in worship

After reading Colossians 1:6 there seems to be a problem with the title of this blog. It was a clever title at the time, but right now it isn't right. There is an error in the assumption that the Gospel does a single work, and then stops, moves on to the next people, gets preached somewhere else, effects another area, then it all stops.Colossians 1:6 says differently.Col 1:6 which has come to

If there was ever a picture (painting, exquisite photograph, impressionistic interpretation) of the spiritual life, it can be found in Deut 8. why do we make it so hard to see what life with Christ should be?He said His yoke is easy and His burden is light. He said we should not carry around any heavy load. Life in Christ is freeing, energizing, always full and satisfying. What a struggle we have

1Pe 3:15 but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts...I want to hold this phrase up as a standard of life for a Christian today. I understand that the KJV and others have a different reading.

There is the Apostles Creed. We don't pay much attention to it, although I'd say we wouldn't find anything wrong with it. We get uncomfortable setting things like what we believe in permanent castings. Having said that, I want to declare something that is always in the back of our mind as a fellowship. This is not our creed. This is not printed anywhere, and we don't hold up any doctrines that

I am recovering from my last two weeks spent in the Republic of Udmurtia, The Russian Federation. It is nine hours in time away from us, and a world of difference in cultures. But, the Spirit in the brothers and sisters is the same Spirit in us here.What a privilege it is to be with all the saints there. I spent most mornings in a Bible School speaking to this year’s class of future missionaries,

Where was I? Yes, saying good-bye to the faithful Zhenny (Zhen-ya).We hop into the van at 10:45 for what should be a three and a half hours ride to Perm (200 km away). But, you can't get to Perm in three and a half hours if you drive under 57 km/h average. That is, if you drive at anything less than 57.14 km/h for even a few minutes, you will not get there in time. You must maintain 57.14 km/h

It can be done. It was done. I'm afraid I did it. I got up Friday morning at 5 AM in Izhevsk, Udmurtia, Russian Federation, to study and pray about what I would tell the Bible School students that morning. We packed out things for the last day there, and left for the school at 8:50 AM.I spoke all morning, had lunch with the students, and a final good-bye to them. We loaded into a late model Lada

Well, the bags are packed, we're ready to go...no, that sounds too much like a very old song. We are ready.I go to Russia this afternoon (it takes two whole days to get there) with two messages: First, the Power of Praise with Understanding (Ps 47), and second, the faith of a little girl and her faithfulness (2 Kings 5). I hope to be able to share these messages everywhere I go.I hope to speak

Less than a week to go until we leave for Russia. We are allowed two 50 pound duffles, and one carry-on. We have to keep the duffles under 50 pounds, or the charges go way up. We like to bring gifts for people we meet, and for the children in the orphanages we will visit. The weight limit will make packing difficult, but we will take a much as we can.

As I have said, I have grown to appreciate the Psalms more than ever. I used to ignore them as poetry and song lyrics, and obscure messages to Israel. But, as time passes, I see more in each Psalm that applies to us here and now.There is a progression of Praise hidden in plain sight in the last 6 Psalms. There is not enough space to detail all six Psalms, but let it suffice to just show the

It’s interesting, but sad, that the concept of holiness is being re-defined. Today there are theologians who want you to believe that being holy means being “wholly dedicated to God”. The pursuit of that dedication creates holiness, they say.That is so far off the mark, it hurts. But worse to know that there are many people who think this is correct. They are being duped. That hurts more than

Act 28:31 preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all openness, unhindered. Notice how the Book of Acts seems to just stop there? There is no more writing after that verse. It stops, but there is a sense that it doesn't end. Was there more that Luke wrote that some how got chopped off? Did he not finish it? Did he die right after penning these words, so

I got caught trying to speak to a theologian. I forgot I was not on his level. I should have known better. In this series of posts on 1 Peter I spent 3 days wondering what in the world this man saw in Peter that I was missing.

Everyone is going on short term missions. It seems to be the rage among American Christians. In one way it is a good thing, that so many people are reaching out beyond themselves and desiring to see the Kingdom of God expand.

Well, all through the night the power was on/off/on/off/on and finally, off. It was off for 2 hours, around the time we get together. So, as the roads are unplowed, the power is off, and the people scattered, it was best to call off the morning service. No need to endanger people to prove how dedicated we are.

First and last verses are very interesting, sometimes. For example:Want to know what happens to every great people who follow the Lord? Just go to the first verse of Judges and you will see:Jdg 1:1 After Joshua's death the people of Israel asked the Lord, "Which of our tribes should be the first to go and attack the Canaanites?"The people didn't move without asking for guidance from the Lord.

How important is praise to you? In truth, when a believing Christian, righteous, filled with faith sings praises to God, evil will flee. Maybe not for long, but for a while. We can clear

Rev 17:14 "These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him are the called and chosen and faithful." Make no mistake: He is Lord. However, this Lordship is under serious attack. Watch and see who calls Him Lord. There are few who choose to. Many blogs use the name of ‘Jesus’, but refuse to identify

Everyone does audios these days. MP3s are everywhere. Still, here is a site that is a deep well, with messages that go back into the 50's. Look for any message from T. Austin-Sparkes, Stephen Kaung, Lance Lambert, among others. It is updated often, being hosted in a small fellowship in Richmond, Va.http://christiantapeministry.com/

Well, it didn't end up too badly. The bruises will heal:http://www.jesuscreed.org/?p=749I got some of my point across. In this day, we are seeing the Lordship of Christ, the authority of the Bible, the work of the Holy Spirit, and the universal priesthood of all believers under serious attack. There is much wandering off into bypaths and dead forests of doctrines. The elements of this world will

I am an engineer, and my job was to be there is anything went wrong with the new HD transmission equipment.Nothing went wrong, so I was there from 2 pm until 11pm for nothing more than the promise of Monday off.So, I am entering comments in jesuscreed.org and making

Problems, problems, trials and tribulations. Ah, but look at all the new books coming out that can help; best sellers, all of them. They must be good for me:The mark of a healthy Christian is the tenacious hold he has on the original teaching. N. Anderson

While searching through the treasury of the Dead Brethren Writers I came to this quote about Psalm 23, and the "shadow of death": There is a greater death than ours to hearts that know the Lord. Surely it is the shadow of His death, the death of Psalm 22, that lies upon the whole scene of this world. The world in which our Lord was crucified is the valley of the shadow of death. Oh! for hearts

I stumbled across the most incredible collection of Brethren writers. A few of these people I have heard of, and like, such as Darby, Kelly and Mackintosh, but there are people here I have never heard of. I expect them to be a unique source.Warning: these bearded guys date from the 19th century and the popular writing style of the age was wordy, windy, and verbose (did I mention redundant?). They

This should give away my position and allow someone to label me.In regards to "high places". They were all over the land of the Bible. During the times of the divided kingdom, Judea and Israel (after David and Solomon), high places were very common. They were everywhere. They were for anyone. Anyone could put up a high place. They didn't even need a hill. The term "high place" spoke not just to

What to call this blog? I chose the title “After the Gospel” to highlight the work that has to be done after the Gospel is preached and people are saved. Have no doubt, whenever the Gospel is preached, people are saved. Even a little seed will find it’s way to good soil. The more power in the heart of the one preaching the Gospel, the more people will be saved. The notion today that we need to be

The problem of the disappearing ATOM file turns out to be trying all the posts in Word, and then copying and pasting into the editor box. We who use Office all the time know from experience that Word hides special characters in the copying process. They are invisible little creatures that only Word understands. Blogger doesen't understand them. ATOM doesn't understand them.So, the fix is to

There was a glitch in the ATOM file, and live bookmarks wouldn't work. So, I threw the whole thing out. My daughter said it was boring, anyway. Like I have all the time in the world to write a boring blog.So, we try again.
