Edification. Do you know what that word means? Do you know what it means — to be edified? Do you realize the place that it holds in the life of a TRUE Christian? Just as in the days of ‘ ministry, hordes of people are willing to gather in a “religious” or “church” setting, but […]
The Cursedness of Despisal
Despisal is a terrible thing. Basically, it means “to treat with contempt, look down on, and/or ridicule.” Sadly, it’s a constant in the “arsenal” of fools and a fruit of their state. Consider the following passages and what they reveal about despisal AND about the person who despises: Genesis 16:4–5 — And he went in […]
Relationship Idolatry
Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. Colossians 3:5-7 Bear with me as I present […]
When God Leaves You
Howbeit in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart. 2 Chronicles 32:31 Have you ever had a time in your walk […]

Defending and Contending
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear…. Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to […]
Perspectives on Corporate Worship
Remnant’s attendees are often asked about our choir and whether or not we have one. Our perspective on this matter is as follows: Unlike what’s happening at many churches, worship should not be a spectator-oriented activity where those ‘leading” worship are reduced to being performers and the congregation is basically being entertained. Everyone should participate […]
Commentary on Bible Versions
People occasionally ask which Bible translation we endorse, emphasize, and use at Remnant Christian Assembly. We understand many Bible translations to be of the New Age variety? For this reason, we focus on the King James translation. We also spend time looking at the original Hebrew and Greek to properly understand what’s said. The following […]
Nobody’s Perfect
Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace. — Psalm 37:37 Perfection is an issue that is often brought up in Christian circles. Oddly, however, it’s not usually discussed within the spectrum of what’s on the mind of the Lord. This is something that has been on […]
