Many Christians say that we should not judge but in this article I would like to show that God commands us to judge for two very good reasons.
1) To help our brothers and sisters remain on the Narrow Road of salvation.
2) To keep the church pure, separated from both sin and false teaching.
Many Christians misinterpret what the Bible says about judging and say that we should never judge. In Matthew 7:1-5, Jesus did say not to judge but a close look at these verses will show that He is referring to hypocritical, unloving and unjust judging. It is very wrong for us to make judgments about a person's motives or thoughts because we simply don't know their mind....
OUR BLESSED HOPE
Titus 2:13 says that “we wait for the blessed hope–the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ” and in this article I would like to talk about our hope.
Hope is not something we can hold in our hand but something we...
In this article, I would like to talk about the responsibility church leaders have as“shepherds of the church of God” (Acts 20:28).
A shepherd has full responsibility for his flock. He takes care of his sheep by leading them to good pasture and protecting them from dangers such as thieves and wolves. In the same way, a shepherd of God's church must feed believers with sound doctrine and guide them into a close relationship with Jesus who will protect them from sin and the false teachings of thieves and wolves. A Christian needs to know the Bible well and to walk closely with Jesus so that he can stand firm against the evils of this world. In our own strength, we are very weak and easy prey for the devil and that is why the disciples deserted Jesus when He was arrested.
Peter told Jesus that...

SEEKING THE KINGDOM
In Matt. 6:33, Jesus said, “ But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well” . When you pray, what is it that you seek from Jesus? Do you seek first his kingdom and his righteousness or do you go to Him with a...
LOSING OUR REWARDS
Some Christians believe that if a saved person enters into a sinful lifestyle and fails to repent then he will still get to heaven but will lose rewards. Their proof text is 1 Cor. 3:13-15 which say, “his work will be shown for what it is … the fire will test the quality of each man's work ... If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames”. Notice that these verses are referring to the testing of a man's work, not sin. In this article I would like to show that, in context, these verses are not speaking about sin in the least but about how we work to build on the foundation of the gospel of Jesus.
Beginning with 1 Cor. 1:11-13 and 1 Cor. 3:1-8, these verses tell us that the Corinthians were...
