Life and Worship
Posted by Philip Strong | Categories: Apostasy, Church, Worship, Acts of Worship, Acts, 1 Corinthians, 1 Timothy
Is "worship" a separate and distinct act, or, is all of "life" worship? This lesson examines the question as well possible implications for both "life" and "worship".

Seared Sensitivities and Callused Consciences emphasizes that we can become so oblivious to sin and impurity through over-exposure that we don't even notice them anymore. This is not a good thing!
Removing God
Posted by Philip Strong | Categories: Apostasy, Fidelity, Romans, 1 Timothy
Many people, and certainly many Christians, are concerned about what seems to be the removal of God from various facets of our culture. Whether its our schools, government, or society, the evidence seems to overwhelmingly support the notion that God indeed is being "removed," or has been "removed". As such, many desire to reintroduce God into these areas. But from my perspective, there is a hitch: God being removed from our schools, government, and society is not the real problem! This sermon highlights much bigger issues pertaining to God's removal.

This usually belies the intent and purpose with which they are viewed. Such ought not to be the case. That being said, these qualifications are crucial to selecting the right men to this important responsibility.
