Read the whole passage. Luke 22:35-38 says: 35 [Jesus] asked them [the eleven apostles], "When I sent you out without a purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?" They said, "No, not a thing." 36 He said to them, "But now the one who has a purse must take it, and likewise a bag...

I've been thinking about this lately, and it brought to mind an interesting dichotomy. On one hand I've seen people say that Baptism isn't a work, it's something that God does to you. On the other hand I've seen the same people say that if you don't understand it in the right way, then it...

Yes. There are many Christians in denominations. I think an important question to ask is, what exactly is it that makes one denominational, and what is it about being denominational that is bad? Some would say that being denominational means having a hierarchy or chain of command, and...

What Heresy was Rigdon preaching? Last time I checked communal living wasn't heresy.

I suppose it depends on the word and the context. Paul used the word Skubalon, which is pretty strong language. The most appropriate direct translation into American English would be a word that begins with an S and ends in a T.

I don't think you are interpreting that last verse correctly in light of the entire revelation of scripture. If prophecy were supposed to end with John the Baptist, then we obviously shouldn't see it at all after his death, yet we find it repeatedly among the followers of Jesus well after his...

Oh, I don't think that it means we are all commanded to meet every day of the week. But the way that the early church did things denotes a powerful fellowship and kinship between believers that we are decidedly lacking in today's church. I'm not particularly interested in restoring a direct...

As I've been studying scripture lately, this is what I discovered. If you go to scripture looking for evidence that early Christians worshiped on Sunday, you'll find it. If you go to scripture looking for evidence that early Christians worshiped on Saturday, you'll find it too. The reason...

I'm pretty sure what most people today here in the U.S. who get tattoos, don't do it for the dead, or to mourn the dead. So I don't see how this scripture is relevant to what is going on today, which is a completely different practice. Scripture also says don't eat meat sacrificed to Idols...

There is a great deal of truth to that, I think. Teaching expositionally forces you to actually preach the whole word, you don't get to skip around as much as you want. My model is to do both, with a heavy focus on expositional teaching. Right now I preach at Sunday night services at the...

Every setting is a worship setting. Including when you are in your car and driving. There should never be a moment when we are not doing what we are doing for the glory of God.

http://www.westshorechurch.net/index.htm This one might be. I can't tell for sure though.

It would seem to me that early Christians would often worship on both Saturday and Sunday, up until the Jews permanently kicked them all out of the Synagogue. I have little doubt that the Jewish Christians continued keeping the Sabbath even if the New Gentile Converts did not. And there was...

I don't believe that RM believers are the only true Christians. But there are some people in my Church who come close to it. They certainly believe that if someone is baptized in a way other than immersion then that person probably isn't saved, but I'm not so sure of that. At any rate...

I have a friend who, a about a month and a half ago called me late one night while she was having an emotional breakdown. She is involved in Campus Ministry, and prior to that had told me that she was having issues for the past year due to burnout, and after I had offered her advice on how to...
