HE IS RISEN INDEED!

  The Resurrection 24  But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared.   2  And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb,   3  but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.   4  While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel.   5  And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?   6  He is not here, but has risen.

The Church Is Called To Take Care Of The Poor, Oppressed, & the Marginalized (Part 1)

Publisher @ Reformation Charlotte has something to say about caring for the poor, the marginalized, & oppressed.     Do their words pass biblical muster?     The title says it, but let’s talk about what that actually means. The Church is called to take care of the poor, the oppressed, and the marginalized—the least of these. This is true.     At issue is the manner & which we are called to paraclete them and the identity of the people — defined not by our Liturgical Philosophy but instead by way our Rule of Faith (Sola Scriptura), ie the Bible correctly exegeted, exposited, & understood.   But not the way progressive “Christians” would have you think. No, the modern leftist Evangelical, or worse, these apostate mainline Protestant denominations, have built entire ideologies around twisting this concept to such a grotesque degree that it’s barely recognizable. These people—whether it be leftist Southern Baptists, the David French/...

Part 9 - A King To Judge The Nations Monarchial/Davidic Covenant (1 Samuel 3, 1 Samuel 16, 2 Samuel 7, & 1 Chronicles 17 I Samuel 3 Shema  Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the Lord in the presence of Eli. And the word of the Lord was rare in those days; there was no frequent vision. 2  At that time Eli, whose eyesight had begun to grow dim so that he could not see, was lying down in his own place. 3  The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was. Historical Prologue  4  Then the Lord called Samuel, and he said, “Here I am!” 5  and ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But he said, “I did not call; lie down again.” So he went and lay down. 6  And the Lord called again, “Samuel!” and Samuel arose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But he said, “I did not call, my son; lie down again.” 7  Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, and ...
