Rethinking a Christlike Response

By Ron Silver | July 30, 2024 | 0 Comments

Rethinking A Christlike Response I’m sure by now most of us have seen the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympics in Paris, France or a picture similar to this which bears a resemblance to Davinci’s Last Supper. But instead of Jesus and His disciples, it was a woman in a halo type headdress flanked by

Putting Our Hand to the Plow

By Ron Silver | August 24, 2022 | 0 Comments

Putting Our Hand to the Plow “Those who work their land will have abundant food, but those who chase fantasies have no sense.” Proverbs 12:11 (NIV) This year our church looks back on its 225 year history. As I think about that along with some comments from my brother Rod and one of our Deacons

Identity XII – I am Complete in Christ

By Ron Silver | November 2, 2021 | 0 Comments

I am Complete in Christ Colossians 2:9–10 For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, and you have been filled (made complete) in Him, who is the head of all rule and authority. Several years after the Colossian church (to whom this inspired letter was written) was founded, there were false teachers trying

Identity XI – I Have Been Redeemed and Forgiven of All My Sins

By Ron Silver | October 26, 2021 | 0 Comments

I Have Been Redeemed and Forgiven of All My Sins When someone breaks the law, we say the have a “debt to society.” They have broken the laws and the trust of that society, and so have incurred a debt that is paid through fines, imprisonment (separation from society) and sometimes death. In the case

Identity X – I have direct access to God through the Holy Spirit

By Ron Silver | October 21, 2021 | 0 Comments

I Have Direct Access to God Through the Holy Spirit When we look at the activity of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament, we find passages like this: “And the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon and struck down thirty men.” Judges 14:19 (ESV) “When they came

Identity IX – I am a Saint

By Ron Silver | September 7, 2021 | 0 Comments

Yes . . . you!!! This is what the Scripture says. “Paul, called by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and our brother Sosthenes, To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every

Identity VIII – I am a member of Christ’s body.

By Ron Silver | September 1, 2021 | 0 Comments

I am a member of Christ’s body. “Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.” 1 Corinthians 12:27 Let me begin here by repeating a paragraph from a previous post. A good illustration would be to think of immersing a glass in the ocean. The ocean is in the glass AND

Identity VII – I have been bought with a price. I belong to God.

By Ron Silver | August 19, 2021 | 0 Comments

What God has always been looking for is a relationship of mutual love and affection with those He created in His image. Yes, He is the Creator and we the created. Yes, we are the worshiper and He to be worshiped. Yet, as God is love (1 John 4:16), His design and desire is that

Identity VI – I am united with the Lord and one with Him.

By Ron Silver | August 11, 2021 | 0 Comments

1 Corinthians 6:17 says, “But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him.” It will be somewhat of a mystery until we see the Lord face to face. When we are born again, or born of the Spirit – both terms Jesus used – the Bible says that our body becomes

Identity V – I have been justified

By Ron Silver | August 3, 2021 | 0 Comments

Romans 5:1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. To be justified is to be declared “just”, or righteous before God. We know that we “all have sinned” (Romans 3:23) and have broken God’s laws on numerous occasions. So how could God declare anyone
