Hindrances of Unity

Paul stresses the importance of unity to the Church in Ephesus: “I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, 2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, 3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4  There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is … [Read more...] about Hindrances of Unity

A Lasting Reputation

 “He is a deceiver! He is a blasphemer! He is an enemy to the Law! He is mentally sick!” Who am I talking about? Your boss? The in-laws? Let’s hope not! How about Satan? That would be an accurate description. No, I am talking about Jesus! He was accused of all of the above and of much more. Recall that he was even accused of being demon possessed, and of actually being Satan in the flesh.  Beelzebub. Think about how much it must have hurt to be falsely accused by those whom he loved and … [Read more...] about A Lasting Reputation
