My Response To Critics: Hey guys, I’m a false teacher!
So I think this is my final comments on the past conflicts we have seen in our push towards unity among Christians in my community. Unless it isn’t. So anyways, this lesson comes to us from a letter to the editor responding to my “Unite around the Bible” article that was published by the localContinue reading “My Response To Critics: Hey guys, I’m a false teacher!”
Thoughts to drive us – an old guy on the Bible
Paul speaks of a “wisdom of God hidden in a mystery, which God ordained before the world” (1 Corinthians 2:7). God’s wisdom is Christ, for Christ, we are told, is “the power of God and the wisdom of God” (1 Corinthians 1:30). This wisdom remains hidden in a mystery.

“Unfashionable” – Tullian Tchividjian
Christians make a difference in this world by being different from this world; they don’t make a difference by being the same. What does it look like to live a Christian life? When people look at us, what should they see? Should Christians stand out, visible against a backdrop of non-believers? Should they have thatContinue reading ““Unfashionable” – Tullian Tchividjian”
