God's true church cannot be found without revelation nor can one join the organization; God calls and places each member in its appropriate place in the Body.

The church will continue until it has accomplished its purpose, which means that the true church is still in existence on the earth, and it can be found.

To understand Jesus' command, we need to examine what else He said to the same people. We should also determine just whom He commissioned to preach.

God forbids us to make alliances with carnal minds on divisive issues. The only division God desires is a separation from the world and its enticing drives.

God desires to know whether the spiritual remnants will choose His teaching or assimilating into the world, biting and devouring one another.

Jesus Christ is the architect of the church, indicating that the institution must take on the characteristics of the Builder, reflecting His character.

Although Peter was given responsibilities of leadership, as connoted from the rock imagery or symbolism, he was not granted the post of 'vicar of Christ.'

The Ephesus church effectively battled various heresies, for which Christ commends it. However, the members lost sight of the reason, having left their first love.

I Peter 2:5 calls Christians 'living stones'; is it possible that the the spiritual Temple will at some point be left with 'not one stone . . . upon another'?

Laodiceanism is the attitude that dominates the end time. It is a subtle form of worldliness that has infected the church, and Christ warns against it strongly.

Does 'the holy people' in Daniel 12:7 refer to the church of God? What is the church's power? Can it be completely shattered? Are there other 'holy people'?

A Christian worldview includes the importance of our calling and the reality of God and His laws. Our worldview determines how we spend our time.

The One who sent forth His Spirit to create and breathe life into the physical world, also breathed on His disciples and endowed them with spiritual life.

People who try to supplement their spiritual diet with lawlessness or other heresies risk losing their identity, and ultimately their spiritual life.

Each member has been gifted by Christ. We must not go beyond the gifts that have been given to us, but must use them humbly, employing them to edify.

It is not the physical nation, but the spiritual remnant with whom God is working, circumcising their hearts and writing His laws in their minds.

God has summoned us to a unique position. As saints, we have the responsibility to work toward the Kingdom of God and become holy—things only we can do!
