Aside from the usual information about service times, they announce that bible classes for kids will be cancelled for the summer. Other events, as well, won’t be available during…

Are We Wrong?

Welcome to another Monday Bible Meme. Hot on the heels of last week’s look at “Which Jesus are you Following” we come to this meme which talks about hurt feelings… The caption reads: It’s rude to tell me I’m wrong!

The Influence of Satan
Introduction Over the last few months, I’ve been watching Reels via YouTube for my news and other social media information. Reels are basically 2-3 minutes long of someone telling you what’s going on in their lives or an excerpt from a longer broadcast. Recently, I saw one reel that appeared to be a religious discussion.…

You Must DO Something!

Today’s Monday Bible Meme is Two-for-One opportunity. Both of the memes discuss the necessity of belief and action for salvation. The caption reads: “God is in control, but he doesn’t expect you to lean on a shovel and pray for a hole.” This is the epitome of “Faith only” salvation. No work is required, just…

No Appointment Necessary
Introduction There are some who believe that you must wait for the assembly of the local congregation to come together before they are able to be baptized.
