    A disappointing Christological homily at Guildford Cathedral, and the importance of stressing the deity of Christ

    I particularly like Guildford Cathedral for their music program, and was excited last week to hear a Christological sermon by the celebrant. However, on hearing it, I was disappointed, because rather than stressing the deity of Christ, she managed to inadvertently imply Arianism, through two...

    Matthew 22:37-39

    Aramaic Bible in Plain English Yeshua said to him, “You shall love THE LORD JEHOVAH your God from all your heart and from all your soul and from all your power and from all your mind.” What are the ways we show we love both God, and neighbor? Jesus - the foremost lover of God and his neighbor...

    "preaching And Teaching"

    "Teaching scriptures from a spiritual context to those who are not born-again is like teaching caterpillars about the life of a butterfly.

    What would you think of a non-Baptist pastor who uses the pulpit to make fun of Baptists?

    The pastor has a dry sense of humor and tries to be funny while keeping a straight face. Much of the congregation laughs, but not all. There's no way to know to what extent he's joking, or to have any idea why he's picking on Baptists rather than other denominations cause he never elaborates...

    The major church ministry this Christmas is to single moms in the city. The pastor decided to share some of the emails the church had received from people who knew about the effort, but were cynical. One man said, "How about single dads?" Another said, "You just want to get their money,"...

    Women in Ministry

    Jesus’ Treatment of Women As far as I know, from what I read in the New Testament, Jesus always treated women with high honor and respect. He never talked down to a woman or treated any woman as though she was less valuable than a man, with maybe one exception. As recorded in Matt. 15:21-28...

    Seek out, the message that saved you... according to the One, God sent to you

    Hi there, So, something you need to learn as a mature believer (and I am not speaking at length, here on maturity, I assure you), is to seek out the message that saved you.

    Preaching

    One of the things I have observed, and I think it follows the adoption of the three year cycle of readings - be it the Roman Lectionary, The Revised Common Lectionary, or one of a number of Anglican Lectionaries that have evolved from these sources, and that is that preaching has become...

    Evangelizing to people going into a Carolina Rebellion concert.

    Hello, here is a video of us evangelizing to some sinners. Let me know what you think. It was amazing at how many people actually thought they were Christians going into this event. The devil has blinded them spiritually.

He said that when the Spirit of God comes upon us, whom we receive when we believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and as...
