Questions & Answers: Living by Faith

Christians can experience anxiety, but it's not necessarily sinful. The key is to trust in God's providence and guidance, and to remember that we are not alone in our struggles. Pastors and church leaders can encourage their congregations to cultivate a sense of detachment from the world, and to focus on their eternal home in heaven. This can be achieved by living in the present moment, enjoying the blessings of God, and longing for the day when we will be with Him. Ultimately, it's about having a deep trust in God's sovereignty and a sense of contentment in all circumstances. [... more]

Who Are They?

God uses people that Scripture mentions only in passing, often doing just one thing that was a very important thing that they did. He can use just one moment in your life to do something grand for the kingdom of God, or it may be even a very small thing, but it was crucial for God's work to be done. The stories of lesser-known characters in the Bible remind us that all scripture is breathed out by God and useful for correction, training, and righteousness. [... more]

The Responsibilities of the Church: Preaching, Part 1

The primary purpose for choosing a church is the biblical preaching, which sets the tone for the church's strength and maturity. Preaching is essential for communicating divine truth and building up the body of Christ. The Lord wants a church that is whole, mature, and fully functioning, with every individual part functioning appropriately. This is achieved through the ministry of preachers and teachers, who are gifted by God to equip the saints for the work of service and ministry. The power of preaching lies in its simplicity and clarity, not in cleverness or cultural relevance. God has ordained that people need to know Him, and the way they can know Him is through His Word, which reveals Him. [... more]
