What’s missing from the contemporary church?
Sinlessness. That is, the weaknesses that plague the contemporary church aren’t, in the end, all that different from the weaknesses that plagued the historical church. The more things change and all that, after all. It is said that one Lord’s … Continue reading

Why does the church meet together? Questions on the Church

How often should we observe the Lord’s Supper?
Never. If, however, you want to know how often we ought to celebrate the Lord’s Supper, that’s a whole different matter. For which the answer is, weekly, at the very least. What’s the difference between observing and celebrating? The former … Continue reading
