A Pure Language

Sermonette by

We don't need to be experts in Hebrew or use Hebrew names to call on the name of the Lord, nor is Hebrew sacred. Pure language comes from an undefiled heart.

God Expects a Return on His Investment (Part Five)

Strategies for Interfacing with Babylon Without Becoming Assimilated (Part One)

Re-Embracing the Berean Model

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by David F. Maas

We must use Berean self-reflexiveness to become teachable, to search for hidden sins, to detect spiritual blindspots, and to admit when we are wrong.

Faithful Minister in Perilous Times

Sermon by David F. Maas

The speaker expresses appreciation for many aspects of the Hebrew Roots movement yet disapproves of its attitude toward certain words, an attitude rooted in the conviction that terms such as Jesus and God derive from pagan sources. This stance is illustrated by an incident in a Texas congregation where a woman insisted that believers must never utter the name Jesus because it represents a Latinized transliteration of the Greek Iesous, supposedly traceable to Zeus. Such reasoning is presented as an instance of the disputes and arguments over words that the apostle Paul warns Timothy against in First Timothy 6:4-5, contentions that foster envy, strife, and departure from the doctrine of Christ. The speaker counters the claim by tracing Jesus directly to the Hebrew name Yahshua, meaning "Yah saves," and notes that respected etymological sources refute any pagan origin for the term. This critique of the movement's linguistic concerns is woven into the larger exhortation to remain anchored in sound doctrine rather than speculative word studies, thereby avoiding the neglect of genuine spiritual gifts and faithful ministry.

Was Paul a False Apostle?

'Ready Answer' by David C. Grabbe

Days of Awe

Commentary by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

We should count every day as a day of awe. We also must realize that all sins are against God, and that sins against other people do not have less importance.
