It has been said that the best way to identify a counterfeit is to really know the real thing. It has been told to me by one who has experience as a teller that banks train them to get the feel for the real paper money, and when a counterfeit passes through their fingers it … More Day Eighty Eight – Being A Discerning Christian
When I began doing this 90 days of reading through the Bible my thinking on these posts were not to write commentaries on what I had read, but that is probably what they are.

Yesterday’s post was about “Sin in the Church”. Looking in First Corinthians at the Corinthian church was not much different than looking into the world; maybe even worse. The apostle Paul confronted a situation which grieved his heart. These were his spiritual children, and they were in the midst of tolerating the evil in their … More Day Eighty Two – On Forgiving Others
There is probably nothing more sure and clear than the title of this post, “Dealing With Sin in the Church”. To ask, “Is there sin in our churches?” is a very unnecessary question. Where there is a church without sin; it is of their own confession; and not the truth. Besides where there is people … More Day Eighty One – Dealing With Sin In The Church
The world we live in with all the conveniences, comforts, and wealth is not often viewed with slavery, or sin in mind.

We can see that in the 24th chapter of Luke. Our reading for today is Luke 19 through John 8. … More Day Seventy Six – Jesus and The Scriptures
