Continuing our series from Revelation on Jesus’ “mini epistles” to the seven churches of Asia Minor, we consider the church that puritan John Trapp referred to as “the poorest but the purest” of them all, the church at Smyrna. Impoverished, persecuted, but faithful, this church was commended by Jesus when others were rebuked. May we learn from her example!

Beginning a new radio series on Jesus’ words to the Seven Churches of Asia Minor contained in John’s Revelation, we consider the dangerous threat facing the church at Ephesus. Shockingly, this reveals that a church can be doctrinally sound, have rigid personal discipline and high standards, yet still have problems as a church. In fact, Ephesus’ problem threatened her very existence!

If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Colossians 3:1
Risen with Christ. What a thought! Certainly our minds go to the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ and our victory over death through His triumph. Yet at the same time, as God quickens sinners, they are vitally risen with Christ. Over the next two programs, we’ll consider Paul’s admonition to the church at Colosse to seek those things which are above, being risen with Christ.

There’s so much wrong in this world. Plagued by sin and its consequences, the brokenness of humankind and our home is on full display. But 2000 years ago, in the most unlikely of places, there was something right in the world as the Lord Jesus Christ was born and placed in a manger.

Whether in the Old Testament or the New, God’s house was a place where God’s presence was manifested, albeit in different ways. That brings up an interesting and thought inspiring notion: do we experience God in His house today? If so – praise God. But if not, why? Ben Winslett addresses this subject in today’s edition of Words of Grace.

Micah 6:8 says God requires of His people that they do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. Today we focus on that beautiful, Christlike trait, mercy. Continue reading “To Love Mercy”
Church attendance has been on the decline in the US in recent decades, but since the covid-19 pandemic swept the world, this problem has been exacerbated. Why is this? Certainly their are legitimate causes such as law enforcement, military, or healthcare occupations. And there are moments of risk when a congregation might shelter in place. But what we’re seeing today seems to be something much worse: Apathy towards the church, which is in actuality apathy towards Christ.

One negative tendency of many conservative believers is the habit of attempting to pass judgement on a person’s eternal destination based upon brief snippets – snapshots – of their lives. While it’s true that there are examples of outright evil that is easy to perceive, in most cases we are infinitely unqualified and far too ignorant to set ourselves up as judge and jury in the courtroom of men’s souls. Join Benjamin Winslett for this broadcast, in which he considers several Biblical examples which demonstrate this fact.
