The Wedding at Cana: Why Did Jesus REALLY Make the Wine?

“On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples. When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” And Jesus said to her,  “Woman, what does this have to...

People

By Robert Gladstone Reading Philippians this morning, one thing Paul says really jumped out at me.  “For they all seek after their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus” (2:21). So, what are the interests of Christ Jesus?  The context explains clearly. His interests are people.  God’s burning...

Let’s all get drunk!!

All were made to drink of one Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:13 They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights. Psalm 36:8 Sorry about the attention-grabbing title.  Hopefully I can explain myself in this post. I think this is one of the most neglected and fun...

The Crisis Of Conviction

Editor’s note:   Britt Williams is the pastor of Consuming Fire Fellowship, in Woodville Mississippi. The following article is something I came across on Facebook when several of my contacts posted this article on their profiles.  I was challenged and convicted by many of the points, and though we...

Behold, I Stand at The Door and Knock

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.” (Revelation 3:20) When I was younger and worked at a day camp, we were given Scripture verses we had to memorize in order to know how to share the Gospel...

Keep The Pure Fire Burning

Habitual Sin & Holy Ostracism

By Jerry Bolton Recently on Facebook, I posted a video of Dr. John Piper responding to the question “How should Christian friends respond to a friend who has entered a homosexual relationship and moved to a church that accepts it?”. During the discussion that followed, I realized there’s...

Fickle Priests & Broken Cisterns

“I brought you into the fruitful land to eat its fruit and its good things. But you came and defiled My land, and My inheritance you made an abomination. The priests did not say, ‘Where is the Lord?’ And those who handle the law did not know Me…” -Jer. 2.7-8a The situation with...

Authority vs. Submission

Knowing exactly what authority is and what it is not, is absolutely critical in a world where we face it everyday. When a policeman flashes his lights behind you and tells you to pull over, by what basis does he have the authority to make you do what he says? When your child in the backseat orders you to...

The Hypocrite Test

If you know how to pretend to be on fire for God in the presence of professing Christians, when you are, in fact, as cold as ice, you are a hypocrite. If you spend more time praying, reading the Bible, Worshiping, etc… in church when others are watching, than you do in secret when only God is...
