    Trouble Idolizing Sports Team

    So I follow this college football team way too much. To the point that it is idolatry. It is probably most of what I think about. I always check on their fan website to see any new updates on things. I have always been a fan but it really started about 4 years ago. This isn't to brag: but I am...

    Lust Of The Eyes And A Flashy Uniform

    Ezekiel 23: 4 Their names: Oholah the elder and Oholibah her sister; They were Mine, and they bore sons and daughters.

    Do Not Forget the Lord

    This passage of Scripture comes from the Old Testament and was written to the Jewish nation who were under the Old Covenant Relationship with God. Yet, it parallels what is taught in the New Testament to true spiritual Israel today under the New Covenant Relationship we have with God/Christ...

    Unless You Fail the Test

    Summary 2 Corinthians 1-12 The Corinthian church was riddled with sin, especially sexual immorality, I believe. It was questionable, thus, as to the legitimacy of everyone’s faith. So, Paul encouraged them to be reconciled to God, and he urged them not to receive God’s grace in vain. He also...

    On Hierarchies: Strong, Weak, Good, Bad, and Ugly

    This started as a reply to @PloverWing in the thread on altar guilds, but as I continued to explore the question of church hierarchy I decided that this needed to be a new thread. I do beg your pardon, but I fear you inadvertently made me uncomfortable, because the way you quoted me in the...

    How do I stop idolatry?

    ” I’ve done it again Lord” Something I say pretty regular. For years I’ve struggled with same sin. Over and over again I turn away from God. I put myself before God. My desires. My flesh. To be blunt I struggle with porn and what usually goes along with it. I had believed for the longest time...

    The Lord has a Case

    Micah 6:1-2 NIV Listen to what the Lord says: “Stand up, plead my case before the mountains; let the hills hear what you have to say. “Hear, you mountains, the Lord’s accusation; listen, you everlasting foundations of the earth. For the Lord has a case against his people; he is...

    You're Standing Firm? Be Careful!

    Psalms 95:6-7 NIV “Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care.” When I think of us worshipping our Lord, what always comes to mind is this: “Therefore, I urge you...

    Jeremiah 17:1-4 NIV “Judah’s sin is engraved with an iron tool, inscribed with a flint point, on the tablets of their hearts and on the horns of their altars. Even their children remember their altars and Asherah poles beside the spreading trees and on the high hills. My...
