The West Side congregation will be conducting a Vacation Bible School in June.
June 23-27, 2008
All are invited to come and benefit from the week of study!
The inability of Christians to agree on what the Bible defines as sin is a sympton of self-will, not a flaw in the text of scripture itself. And, when those who are “untaught and unstable” twist what the scriptures teach, they do so “to their own destruction” (cf. 2 Peter 3:16). They could define sin correctly, if they were willing to!
As Christians, we are fulfilled. We have everything we need, equipped on this earth, and equipped for a future existence with God. All of this is accomplished through the power of Jesus Christ. Through Him, we escape to eternity.
We do not approve of abuses of authority, and we raise our voices in compassion for those who have been accused and convicted falsely. However, when a man is guilty of a heinous crime, he should be dealt with sternly, justly and quickly, for the sake of our society. No society can be compassionate and righteous without punishing the violation of law. To do anything less is to disparage the victim’s plight.
No matter our relative positions in life, when we are Christians, we are brethren.
A general sermon on the subject of Singing. Establishes authority for the act of worship, as well as showing how various innovations regarding musical worship over the centuries are unscriptural. The sermon shows why we sing, the benefits, and gives some practical suggestions to song leaders and the congregation.
Note also the benefit accrued to the Christian who prays, “that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.”
God desires that all men be saved, including both those in authority, and those who would benefit from their righteous rule.
Young people, especially those who see no danger in these arrangements [co-ed dorm rooms], are showing their ignorance and need for further instruction in righteousness.
