Teaching schedule/texts now through Sunday

Lord willing, this evening we will be having our prayer meeting and I will be discussing Psalm 94. Tomorrow morning, I will be teaching Exodus 24 to the "Senior" Bible Study. Thursday evening, I will be teaching Ephesians 4 at the ABIDE (students of Reformation Bible College) Bible study in Sanford. Saturday morning, I will not be leading but participating in the men's Bible study on Philippians 1. On the Lord's Day I will continue the series in Romans 1 in the a.m. service and teach Matthew 6 on Sunday night. For family devotions we will be in Mark 5. Please pray that I will be faithful to preach Christ through the texts and that the saints will be edified and mobilized for ministry service.

True greatness is revealed by offering Christ worship and obedience in the power of the Holy Spirit.

An Idea For A Regular Feature

How about a theological word of the day? This could be helpful in your theological reading.

Today the word is:
ecclesial (pronounced ekk-leez-ial)
It means of or pertaining to the church, or its organization, the institution of, teaching or doctrine of the Church.
This word is increasingly being used in place of "ecclesiastical" in theological writings. The root word is from the Koine (biblical) Greek word transliterated "ekklesia"(which means assembly/church). This is often pronounced ekk-la-see-a which is fine. But if you want to say it more accurately, say ekk-lay-see-a. Pronunciation is of little importance so don't become an elocution Pharisee.

I will blog

I have been a bad blogger. I don't have much to say but I am going to try again to do it 5-6 times a week.

I will be writing short articles on biblical/theological subjects. Please put me on probation for a couple of weeks. If I pass the test, please invite others.
