The ignorance which prevails in Christendom today concerning the truth about the Churches of God is deeper and more general than error on any other Scriptural subject. Many who are quite sound evangelically and are well taught on what we call the great fundamentals of the faith, are most unsound ecc... Read More
Churches of God Arthur W. Pink Studies in the Scriptures Dec. 1927, pp. 277-281 "For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews" (1 Thessalonians 2:14).

Gen 24:1-16 There is so much we can learn through Abraham who is the father of the believers. He knew God and God knew him. 1) Abraham spoke to his chief-servant in his household, the one in charge of all that he had. In the Bible the household doesn't just refer to a man's wife and children but all... Read More

In the apostolic church, a bishop was simply one of several mature Christians in a local church who cared for the spiritual welfare of that church. Today, in church systems, a bishop i... Read More
THE DEACONS In our study of bishops, we learned that their function is the spiritual care and oversight of the house of God. We noted that bishops are also called elders, and that there are several bishops in one church, rather than one bishop over several churches. We come next to the study of deac... Read More
Selfish Ambition Probably the most destructive force at work in churches is selfish ambition. This sin is listed among the deeds of the flesh of Galatians 5:20 and was at the heart of Satan’s sin – “…I will be like the most high....” (Isaiah 14:14). This also formed one of the three legs of the temp... Read More
It is important that we check every word we hear or read against the plumbline of the Bible. In addition, we need to check the source of the information as well. We must check two things: The message and the man. Many times we will hear messages that sound spot-on, and may even be doctrinally correc... Read More
