Why we Gather? The following are just a sampling of the many objections I’ve heard from people to attending or joining a local church. “I don’t need a church to meet with God, I can meet with God anywhere!” “I don’t need a pastor to tell me what God says, I can study the Bible for myself.” “I used to attend a church, but the pastor offended me and I’ve never gone back.” These all reveal a misunderstanding of the purpose for which Jesus instituted the local church. In the later case, they are making their obedience to God’s word […]

Eph 5:2, “And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.” Paul does not explain what sacrifice – but in some ways ALL are included – though esp. those of the day of atonement which were a foreshadow of Christ on the cross including: Burnt sacrifice Sin […]

This is a topic which has become near and dear to my heart, first as a seeker and lover of the truths of the scriptures and secondly as a pastor. I have met MANY believers who have nearly been shipwrecked in their faith or have fallen into serious error due to misunderstanding what Paul and James were actually saying.
