Have we considered the amount of demonic forces that are stacked up against us daily? Do we realize how much power we receive from God that is working to protect us in our day-to-day lives?

We are living in an age where old divisive pagan idols are being reintroduced into an already divided church through the anti-Christ/humanist/secularist/communist principles of Critical Theory. The apostle Paul asks in 1 Corinthians 1:13, "Is Christ divided?" and the obvious answer is (or ought to be), "No!" (or "He shouldn't be!"). God calls his people out of paganism and into Jesus Christ. As the body of Jesus Christ, the church, members come from various backgrounds, with diverse gifts given by the Holy Ghost, to unify and to build the church. The apostle gives the church at Corinth rules and guidance to accomplish the unification and edification of the church through gifts, administrations, and operations for the profit of all.

You are encouraged to bless the church!

What should a minister speak? Titus 2:1–2 looks forward to the second serial reading of in morning public worship on the coming Lord's Day. In these two verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that ministers should speak not just sound doctrine, but application appropriate to the people, beginning with the elderly men.

Third message in our Sunday Night series on Wisdom

The leading men of the congregation must show the way for all the men to live for the nurture and advancement of the home, church, and society.

Christians glorify God when we are in unity with God. We are to strive to be more like Christ, recognizing we have been delivered from darkness to doctrine. God will assist us as we move and reorient our lives to glorify Him.

The Word of God by the operation of the Spirit is the regenerating power of the new birth in the Christian. This new birth instills an innate love for fellow believers. Yet in relationship with others there is also the troublesome presence of common interpersonal sins - five of them listed in 1 Pet. 2:1. Martin Luther described Christians in this strange situation as "justified yet at the same time sinners." It is the pure spiritual milk of the Word that enables us put away these sins and grow in Christian maturity.

Every genuine believer has faith, but every believer's faith must be continually supplied with the virtues addressed in this text.
