New Resource: Women in the Church

I have added a new resource to the resource page on my blog called, "Women in the Church." This teaching looks at the questions of whether a woman should be allowed to speak, teach, and have authority in a church. In this teaching I attempt to explain what I believe the scriptures teach on these issues and what my personal beliefs are. I hope you find this teaching both instructional and helpful. As always, I value any thought, comments, or criticisms you might have.

New Resource - Reason and Revelation

I've added a new resource to my resource page called, "Reason and Revelation." Sometimes there can be tension in our churches between those who approach God from reason and intellect and those who approach God through revelation and experience. It sometimes seems that we are asked to choose sides between reason and revelation, but is this really the case? In this article I propose a new working model of learning that attempts to show that both reason and revelation are necessary to grow in our knowledge and understanding of God. Its not one or the other but both are necessary. You can find the article on the resource tab on my blog.

New Resource - The Full-Grown Man

I've added a new resource to my resource page called, "The Full-Grown Man." When we are born-again we are born with all the hope, promise, and destiny in God. However, many of us fail to fully attain to the upward call to which we have been called. We are born again as children and, for many of us, we remain as children while our Father wishes us to grow up. God's desire is that we would all be full-grown men and women of God, but what does that mean? In this article we will take a look at what it means to be full-grown and how we can become full-grown men and women of God. You can find the article on the resource tab on my blog.

New Resource - The Message of the Cross

There is a new resource on the resource tab of by blog. It is called, "The Message of the Cross. The cross is central to our salvation. With out the cross there would be no forgiveness and, without forgiveness, there would be no eternal life with God. However, sometimes the central themes of our salvation get pushed aside by more exciting topics of the day. In this article we look once again at the message of the cross to find new power and wisdom for our lives today. This new resource can be found on my resource tab at http://therobe.blogspot.com/p/resources.html

New Resource - Spiritual Gifts and the Church

I have added a new resource on my resource tab called: "Spiritual Gifts and the Church." Spiritual Gifts are not only our blessing but are also our responsibility. Spiritual Gifts were not an after thought, or something God does just to bless those who believe, but they are central to His plan for the church and His working in the world. In this article we will take a fresh look at 1st Corinthians 12 to remove some of the complexity in this topic and to find God's will as we seek to grow in Spiritual Gifts. You can find this article on my resource tab.

New Resource: A Leader of Giant Slayers

There is a new resource on the resource tab on my blog named "A Leader of Giant Slayers". There was a time in Israel when everyone was afraid of the giant, yet just a few years later, everyone was running around killing giants. What changed? David! David did something no one else had the courage to do and, as a result, opened a door for others to become giant slayers. You too can pave the way for a new generation of victors. This article looks at some practical steps to become a leader of giant slayers.

New Resource: Hiding from God

Most of us have know times in our lives where we have attempted to hide from God. However, the times we have tried to hide have most often been the times we have had the greatest need to draw close to God. Why do we try and hide from God when what we need is to draw near to Him? I think we can learn some useful insights from our ancestor who began all the hiding from God. God asks Adam three questions and their answer is quite revealing.

New Resource: Don't Call Me Teacher

I've added a new resource to my resource tab called Don't Call Me Teacher. Jesus said not to call anyone Father, Rabbi, Teacher, or Leader. Yet we regularly use titles such as these within the church. We have many excuses for why but, is it OK to call someone Father or Pastor or did Jesus really mean what He said? Here are my thoughts on this question and how it relates to the Clergy/Laity system within the church.

New Resource: How to be Baptized in the Holy Spirit

I've added a new resource to the resource tab on my blog. It is called: How to be Baptized in the Holy Spirit.

I think that we far too often make the Baptism in the Holy Spirit much more complicated than it needs to be. In this short teaching we will look at Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well. I think you will find what Jesus has to say about being Baptized in the Holy Spirit refreshingly simple.

Give it a read and let me know what you think. You can find this article on my blog's resource tab.

New resources - Apostles, Elders, and Brethren

I have added a Resources tab to the top of my blog where I am beginning to gather together some of the teachings I have done on my blog and re-posting them as PDF files to make them easier to read and share. The first teaching I have added is called "Apostles, Elders, and Brethren" where I take a look at the governmental structure of the church and the key roles and functions within the church. Check it out an let me know what you think. Also, check back often as I will be adding more teachings over time. You can find this article on my blog's resource tab.
