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

What does it mean that the church is the bride of Christ?
When a writer makes an analogy he seeks to draw out truths about one thing by drawing out its similarities to the known qualities of the thing to which it is compared. If I say, “Life is like a roller-coaster” … Continue reading

How Does a Church Develop a Sense of Community?
There are two kinds of church goers in this world, those who simply want to be left alone, and those who long to be a part of a community. There are plenty of churches out there that cater to the … Continue reading

Why does the church meet together? Questions on the Church
When the Bible commands of us that we not forsake the gathering together of the saints (Hebrew 10:25) it tells us that we are required to attend regular services. While I may attend to the question of why God commands … Continue reading

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
