The Levitical sacrificial system had five separate and distinct offerings that could be made to the Lord.

There are two different responses to the destruction of Babylon. Which side will you be on?

Every step that man takes away from God, God takes a step away from him. America is walking away, we no longer can say "one nation under God" and the ten commandments cannot even be posted. So where do we go from here?

It is not enough that the offering is brought; it must be acceptable to God. God must receive it.

The life of Paul is an example to us all

Why do the disciples of Jesus not fast like the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees? 1) Their circumstances are different (their bridegroom is with them). 2) The message Christ brings does not just amend the old way; it is radically different and brings complete change.

In the Bible we find that Jesus Christ is the Head of the Body, which is the Church.

We live in a day when we have all of the resources we need to be a good Christian. We have multiple Bibles in each home, a church on every corner, Bible teachers and material at our disposal 24 hours a day. There has never been a day when there were so many different ways to serve the Lord by practice, preaching and publishing. Yet we have allowed the spirit of Laodicea to deaden us. We like the Laodiceans are “lukewarm”, growing cold on the things of God. May we use this service to survey our relationship with God and the things of God
