By Ken Blue “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;” Matthew 5:44. In the early days of my ministry it never occurred to me that there would be pastors and church [...]

WHEN YOU ARE THE GUEST

Sunday, March 27th, 2011

By Ken Blue Everyone should know there is a different protocol when we are in our own home, or a guest in the home of others. As guest, we sit where instructed to sit, and we follow the lead of our host. This shows respect and gratitude for their hospitality. I believe visiting pastors should [...]

THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN INTERPRETING THE SCRIPTURES

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

By Ken Blue The first rule is that of right division. If we fail to discover the proper divisions of the Bible, we will always be using the Bible instead of correct interpretation. “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 [...]

IS A THOUSAND YEARS ONE DAY?

Monday, March 21st, 2011

CAN THE SAVED WORSHIP WITH THE UNSAVED?

Thursday, March 17th, 2011

By Ken Blue Those who criticize programs designed to get the unsaved to attend church services, base their arguments on the idea that the unsaved cannot worship God, therefore the saved and the unsaved cannot worship together. Now, it may, or may not be true that an unsaved man cannot worship God. (Acts 10:1-4). I [...]

IS JOHN A TYPE OF THE CHURCH?

Tuesday, March 15th, 2011

By Ken Blue “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.” 1 Thessalonians 5:21 Although typology is an interesting study, there are rules that must be observed. It is possible to make everything is Scripture a type of something. I have heard some sermons on types that were ridiculous and embarrassing. The safe method [...]

SIGNS OF THE TIMES

Monday, March 14th, 2011

By Ken Blue Although I do not believe there are specific signs for the rapture of the church, Jesus clearly instructed His disciples about events that would precede His Second Advent. Here are some of them. “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the [...]
