THE CALLED AND THE COMPULSION OF THE CALL PART 2

  THE CALLED AND THE COMPULSION OF THE CALL PART 2 “For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for I am under compulsion; for woe is me if I do not preach the gospel.”                                                                                                                                1 Corinthians 9:16 - NASB In our previous blog under the same topic, we looked at the general nature of the call into which believers are called. Today, I want to draw your hearts and minds into the understanding of the compulsion under which the called are placed.

THE CALLED AND THE COMPULSION OF THE CALL PART 1

THE CALLED AND THE COMPULSION OF THE CALL                                 PART 1 Over the years, Christians have attempted to make a distinction between the call to salvation, and the call to service. Ignorance on the call has rendered majority of Christians in many churches redundant in the service of God.

IS CREMATION AND AQUAMATION BIBLICAL?

IS CREMATION AND AQUAMATION BIBLICAL? The modern society of the 21st century has witnessed unprecedented corruption. The Bible warns that the sign of the last days will be wide spread corruption. “THIS know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come” 2 Timothy 3:1. The Greek word for “perilous” is chalepos, which means hard to bear, trouble, or dangerous. This adjective is used only twice in the New Testament, in  Matthew 8:28; and 2 Timothy 3:1.  In Matthew 8:28, chalepos is used to describe two men who were possessed with demons: “And when he [Christ] was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes [Gadarenes], there met him two possessed with devils (daimonidzomai), which means to be possessed by a demon or evil spirit], coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce [chalepoi lian], so that no man might pass by that way.”  Hence, the two demon-possessed men who came out of the cemetery to meet the Lord Jesus were so vicious that no one but Christ c...
