More and more those who stand for truth are considered by fellow-Christians to be narrow! It has ever been so and we ought not to expect a change. Let us remember, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee…The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me” (Heb. 13:5-6).

“Mama, do angels have wings?” No dear, they usually looked just like men though sometimes they had special bright clothes. Guess what, we know the name of two angels, Gabriel and Michael. Can you say Gabriel? May God bless all mama’s and their children.

Acts 6 is a part of the inspired record that teaches us how to allow the church to function under male leadership while respecting all the principles taught elsewhere in the word of God regarding the role of men and women in the kingdom of God.

If honesty were to prevail, most people would admit that these meeting rooms and recreational facilities are acquired and maintained to serve the fleshly desires of the members of the local churches who have them. We want “our” fellowship hall to be just a bit bigger, a bit better than the one down the street. May we never forget, though, that the pressing questions still remain. (Matthew 21:23) “By what authority are You doing these things? And who gave You this authority?”

The sad part about the current state of affairs in the church of our Lord is that we have raised up a generation of people who know not the nature of the controversy that continues to divide the church. Even worse, we have a multitude of preachers who refuse to deal with these issues any more. Brethren, the fight with the evil influence of the Devil in dividing God’s people is not over. The war rages on.

Nowadays, we have men who are supposed to be New Testament Christians turning back into hybrid Christianity. They are espousing the idea that God has not given two covenants, but that He has always only had one (contra Heb. 8:6-7). The result is that these men are being led–or will be led–into other error. Some have even admitted that they see nothing immoral about polygamy! What will end up happening is they will go right back into the denominational error from which others so desperately fought to escape.

2 Chronicles 34:15 BackgroundAfter the death of Solomon, Israel and Judah were divided into separate kingdoms. Both had periods in which they were in rebellion…

The authority of God in all his appointments and plans should not be attacked but humbly honored and respected. It is only when we do God’s work according to God’s revelation that the churches grow, the lost are saved, and the saints are edified. And this is what God wants.
