updated_at: 2026-02-04 02:55:49
tldr:
  The Bible doesn’t command or forbid calling a minister “Reverend,” so using the title is a matter of personal conviction. What truly matters is that church leaders shepherd their flock faithfully and humbly, not the honor a title might bring.

  Pastoral restoration is possible after a scandal—but only if repentance is genuine and the pastor can once again meet the biblical qualifications for leadership. Restoration isn’t automatic and should not be rushed; it requires careful discernment and patient evaluation.

updated_at: 2026-02-04 02:55:49
tldr:
  Celebrating a believer’s first Communion isn’t unbiblical, but the Bible doesn’t require a formal ceremony at a certain age. What matters is that Communion is taken in faith, not simply as a milestone of tradition.

updated_at: 2026-02-04 02:55:49
tldr:
  The early church was composed of a small group of believers who supported each other, which is very similar to organic churches today. As long as an organic church is following the Bible's teachings, it is a biblical church.

updated_at: 2026-02-04 02:55:49
tldr:
  The Bible never mentions a Pastor Emeritus, but it does encourage honoring faithful leaders who have served well. A healthy pastor transition honors the outgoing pastor’s service while clearly placing spiritual authority with the new pastor, ensuring the church moves forward without confusion or divided loyalty.

updated_at: 2026-02-04 02:55:49
tldr:
  Simple churches—small groups of believers meeting in homes—are biblical, but being small doesn’t automatically make them more “godly” than larger congregations. What matters is faithfully studying God’s Word, applying it, and fulfilling the mission of the church, whether in a house or a building.

created_at: 2026-02-04 02:55:49
updated_at: 2026-02-04 02:55:49
tldr:
  Most Christians worship on Sunday because it marks the day Jesus rose from the dead, turning the first day of the week into a celebration of new life. But the Bible makes clear that worship isn’t confined to a calendar—we are free to live out our faith together every day.

tldr:
  The universal church composed of God’s family—spread out among different local churches—is the one true church. Salvation comes through Jesus alone, but a church is “true” when its teachings and leadership align with God’s Word.

tldr:
  There is certainly value in pastoral counseling so long as the pastor is properly exegeting Scripture and is correctly applying its teachings. At the same time, we must use discernment on what kind of counselor would be best for our counseling needs.

updated_at: 2026-02-04 02:55:49
tldr:
  Lectio Divina is a slow, prayerful way to read Scripture that draws us into genuine communion with God, not just intellectual study. While Lectio Divina can deepen our relationship with Him, we need to be careful not to misuse it to chase personal experiences.

updated_at: 2026-02-04 02:55:49
tldr:
  Churches aren’t commanded to tithe 10%, but they are called to give generously and wisely to support God’s work beyond their walls. Whether people give 10% or more, the heart behind the giving—cheerful, willing, and mission-focused—is what matters most.

updated_at: 2026-02-04 02:55:49
tldr:
  Only believers can truly lead others in worship because worship flows from a heart surrendered to God, not just musical skill. Allowing an unbeliever on a worship team risks turning a sacred ministry into performance and misrepresents what it means to honor God.

updated_at: 2026-02-04 02:55:49
tldr:
  An armor-bearer in the Bible was a soldier’s trusted aide, but in modern churches, it’s a figurative role for someone who assists the pastor so he can focus on ministry. While not a biblical office, having an armor-bearer doesn’t contradict Scripture and can help church leaders serve more effectively.

tldr:
  While megachurches aren’t inherently bad, large churches with many people tend to have a more seeker-friendly atmosphere and possibly a more watered-down approach to the Gospel. Whether a megachurch is healthy depends on its commitment to God’s Word, strong leadership, and shepherding each member well.

tldr:
  The emergent church adapts to culture, sometimes harmlessly modernizing style, but often risks compromising or ignoring biblical truth. We must discern carefully, valuing Scripture above preference, and reject teachings that stray from God’s Word.

updated_at: 2026-02-04 02:55:49
tldr:
  Topical preaching zooms in on one theme using multiple Bible passages, which can be helpful—but risky if verses are pulled out of context. At its best, it works as part of a balanced preaching diet that also teaches the full counsel of God through Scripture as a whole.

  Many end-times prophecies began to be fulfilled with Jesus’ first coming, and modern events like Israel’s return and global alliances seem to align with biblical predictions. Since there is still end-times prophecy to be fulfilled, Christians should focus on living faithfully for God, reflecting Him to others, and being ready for His return.

  Revelation 12 should be understood as a future conflict between angels, where Satan is ultimately prevented from entering heaven, rather than the original fall that happened before Eden. Revelation 12 marks the midpoint of the tribulation when his access to heaven ends and his fury on earth begins—but his defeat is certain under Christ’s authority.

  The Great Tribulation describes the second half of the tribulation, where intense suffering, judgment, and persecution precedes Christ’s return, marked by God's wrath on the earth and the rise of the Antichrist.

  It’s extremely unlikely that Donald Trump is the Antichrist; biblical prophecy points to a future, end-times leader from the Middle East, not a modern U.S. president. Instead of guessing who the Antichrist is, Scripture calls us to stay faithful, watchful, and focused on living for Christ until He returns.

  Barack Obama does not match the Bible’s detailed description of the Antichrist, who will wield global authority, demand worship, and desecrate a rebuilt temple.

  Midtribulationism says the church will be raptured halfway through the tribulation, just before God's wrath is fully unleashed, yet this thinking contradicts the seal judgment timing in Revelation.
