This is an hard saying; who can hear it? In the sermon "A word about women from the King of the church," Reverend David Silversides preaches particularly on 1 Corinthians 14, verses 34 and 35: "(34) Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. (35) And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church." In keeping with "Old French silence", "c. 1200", women are to "keep silence", "muteness, state of being silent" or "absence of sound" in the body of Christ, the church (http://www.etymonline.com/search?q=keep+silence). In keeping with "late Old English predician, a loan word from Church Latin", women are forbidden "to preach, give a sermon", "to proclaim publicly, announce", "to proclaim, to say", "to show" or to "pronounce solemnly" the Word of God "in front of, before" the body of Christ, the church (http://www.etymonline.com/word/preach)." Nevertheless, Proverbs 31:1-31 are "(1) The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him." |

Preachers need prayer too May God have pity upon the churches, preachers and people of Columbia, South Carolina.
Hebrews 4:15
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
James 3:11
Doth a fountain send forth at the same time sweet water and bitter?
Matthew 7:16,20
16. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
20. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Luke 6:45
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
Matthew 7:15
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Song of Solomon 5:16
His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem. |

How Great Thou Art So wonderful to see the parallel between Aaron and our High Priest, JESUS: HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD. How great the condescension of JESUS in going between to save and give us the victory through His blood.
Psalms 116:15
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
1 Cor. 15:51-54
(51) Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
(52) In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
(53) For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
(54) So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. |

One Lord, one faith, one baptism Mode of baptism is a thorny issue. I think that the condescension and ascension of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, shines light on the matter.
Matthew 3:13-17:
13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Ephesians 4:9-10
9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) |

Very Insightful Church History Lecture! Thank you for your very insightful lecture on the Puritans and their providential part in shaping church history, beginning in the Reformation Period about A.D. 1564. Very interesting to learn how Puritanism impacted and became embedded in all manner, aspects and qualities of English life through the church--in government, work, business, marriage, family and the home--by means of sound preaching of the Word of God, the gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, in the power of the Holy Spirit.
James 3:17-18
(17)But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
(18) And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace. |
