1st Corinthians Survey: Addressing Divisions, Sins, and Idolatry for Today’s Christians
A survey addressing divisions, sins, and idolatry among Christians. It is as contemporary in this last century as it was in the first.
“…nourished… children…rebelled”
…nourished … children…rebelled Isaiah 1:1–9 1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. 2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me. 3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not…
False Religion
It is inevitable that those who believe Salvation is only a part of a journey and thereby can be lost, will revert to the Law, salvation by ‘works’, a False Religion.
Salvation is being ‘saved’ from hell, to claim that salvation can be “lost” is a nonsense statement and betrays an ignorance as to what salvation actually means.
The Profitability of the Scriptures For the Perfecting Of The Saints
Again and again we see the scriptures teach that the Saints of the Lord are only perfected in their faith and person through the scriptures. Our reluctance to read that which God has provided for our benefit ensures we remain babies in our faith, and little better that when we were lost, though saved.
New Beginnings
All Things Are Become New 2 Corinthians 5:16–21 PRAY The Restorer and The Restored 2 Corinthians 5:17 17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Ever wondered if you can start over? There are times when we look at our lives and we wonder how it is that we got to where we are. Sometimes we would like to have another shot at life and are sure that we would…
TIMES OF DIVISION
The Perilous Times of the last days Church are Times of Division. When people hold to their own opinions as absolute, division will be the rule and not the exception.

Perilous Times: PHILADELPHIA
Philadelphia, the sixth of the seven Churches of Revelation. The sixth period of Church history on the road to the present times.
SARDIS and The Seven Churches
The same Church that unlocked the Bible for the world, becomes the Church that hides it in obscurity. The reformation Churches are those that the Church of Sardis Represents, it has a name that it lives but is DEAD. These are the DEAD Churches today who have nothing to say of the times we live and nothing to add to the discussion. They try in vain to stand up against perversion, but they have taken away the foundation from which to stand. They have intellectualised the simple Gospel of Christ and have made the word of God of “none effect”. Rather than simply “believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved”, they created a flowery acronym to explain that which the Bible does not teach. While the Reformation Church “received and heard” that which was good, they have forgotten “how” they have “received and heard”. A few names stood well and continue to stand, most however have “defiled their garments”, and with the doctrines of Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide, Sola Gracia, which they have forgotten, “are ready to die”. God bless you.
