This website is hosted by Robert Wurtz II. This blog is intended to be a means of putting into writing some of my musings about New Testament Christianity in a post modern culture. We are instructed in scripture to, "Gird up the loins of our minds."
In this article, we discuss the nature of Saul, who was completely given over to pride, envy, ambition, and hatred. He would destroy anyone in his own way, including his own son. This is the savagery of pride, ambition, and envy run-amuck.
Being Spirit filled, in the book of Acts sense, leads to generosity and an attitude of brotherly love in the acquisition of wealth.
It’s human nature to want to retaliate when wronged especially when the actions are part of a systematic attack. Iniquitous laws are an ancient evil that God addresses many times in the Old and New Testament. When God’s people are oppressed, He sees and hears. Let Him handle it.
In this article we look to pull down the stronghold of the sin of theft in its many manifestations.
Unjust gain is a serious sin and we are warned in scripture not to defraud others of their wages, property, or possessions. The enemy lies to people or tells them partial truths to gain consent; Christians must never use such callous deception to grow their or their employers wealth.
"Against You, You only, I have sinned And done what is evil in Your sight." (Psalm 51:4 NASB 95) So David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the LORD." And Nathan said to David, "The LORD also has put away your sin; you shall not die. (2 Samuel 12:13 NKJV) Let God... Continue Reading →
Jesus said, “It shall not be so among you” that leadership “lords over” the saints. But this does not stop men from disobeying Him in His name.
Covering or Confessing Sin? Two Approaches Robert Wurtz II In the morning it happened that David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah. And he wrote in the letter, saying, "Set Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retreat from him, that he may be struck down... Continue Reading →
Backsliding in the Latter Years Robert Wurtz II For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father. (1 Kings 11:4) It is hard to imagine... Continue Reading →
In the article, the author explores the story of Adonijah, son of King David, who ambitiously sought the throne for himself, reminiscent of his brother Absalom. Despite his charm and efforts to gather support, Adonijah's aspirations conflicted with God's choice of Solomon to build the Temple, highlighting the theme of divine purpose versus personal ambition. The article underscores the importance of parental discipline, noting that David's failure to correct Adonijah contributed to his misguided pursuits. Ultimately, Adonijah's treachery leads to his execution, serving as a cautionary tale about the dangers of prioritizing personal power over God's plans. The author draws parallels to modern political schemes, urging readers to focus on collective efforts for the greater good rather than individual glory in building God's kingdom.
