Rock Star Pastors

Let us heed the clarion call to abandon this farcical obsession with entertaining the masses. It’s time to dust off our Bibles, reclaim our dignity, and remember our true calling: to make disciples, not to put on a three-ring circus. So let’s bid adieu to the glittering distractions of the world and embrace the solemn duty that lies before us. After all, there’s nothing quite like the unvarnished truth to entertain the soul. c/f: C.H Spurgeon

Church Temples and Gimmicks

Church Temples and Gimmicks

it's time for the Church to refocus its efforts on what truly matters: worshiping in spirit and truth, encouraging genuine community, and embodying the love and grace of Christ. Rather than investing in ego temples and gimmicks, let us invest in the spiritual growth and transformation of believers, trusting in God to give increase to His Church according to His divine will. As we embrace this paradigm shift, may the Church rediscover its true identity as the body of Christ, transcending walls and boundaries to shine as a beacon of hope and reconciliation in a world in desperate need of redemption.

Tension between Comfort and Commission

Tension between Comfort and Commission

In modern Christianity, we face a tension between comfort and commission, between inviting and going. Our true calling lies beyond church comforts, in actively embracing the Great Commission.

We are not passive inviters but active participants in redemption. Going requires stepping out of comfort zones, embracing discomfort, and trusting the Holy Spirit.

Our invitation extends beyond church walls, welcoming all to heed Jesus's call. In our going, we fulfill our purpose with courage and conviction.

Keeping it Real - Why the Gospel Shouldn't Wear a Disguise

Keeping it Real - Why the Gospel Shouldn't Wear a Disguise

While the seeker-sensitive approach may seek to make Christianity more accessible and appealing to seekers, it must not come at the expense of gospel integrity and biblical fidelity. The offence of the cross reminds us that the gospel will always challenge human expectations and cultural norms, calling believers to embrace the radical message of Christ's love and redemption. May we, as faithful stewards of the gospel, remain steadfast in upholding the unchanging truth of God's Word, regardless of the prevailing trends of the day.

The Serpent on the Pole

The cross, an emblem of judgment, becomes a beacon of mercy. Jesus, bearing our sins, conquers death itself. What appears as judgment transforms into an act of profound love and redemption.

Pulpit Brain-drain in Bible Doctrine

Pulpit Brain-drain in Bible Doctrine

The void created by the lack of basic Bible doctrine in churches is a pressing concern that demands attention. It's imperative to shift the focus back to the essence of shepherding, rooted in authentic leadership and a commitment to imparting the timeless truths found in scripture. By doing so, churches can foster a spiritually robust congregation, less susceptible to the pitfalls of marketing and manipulative leadership methodologies. #BibleDoctrine #FaithJourney #DivineWisdom #SpiritualInsight #AncientTruths #EternalWisdom #Christianity #ScriptureStudy #SpiritualGrowth #KnowledgeSeekers #brendonnaicker #swindonchurch #theologyschool #lovetheGodwithmind

Unveiling Subconscious Bias in Church

Unveiling Subconscious Bias in Church

In the sacred halls of worship, where unity and love are preached, there exists a sobering reality—the presence of subconscious bias and racism. Despite the teachings of acceptance and compassion, these deeply ingrained attitudes can persist, challenging the very essence of what a church should represent.

When you thought you were a Christian…

When you thought you were a Christian…

Do you ever find yourself in a place where you can’t seem to feel your faith in Christ? Have you come to a place where you once thought you were a Christian only to discover that you lack life? It’s a common experience on the journey of being “born-again” in the Christian faith. To acknowledge the lack of life is the first path to the narrow way to which the Holy Spirit will create in you a new creation.

Guarding Against Itching Ears: Staying True to Scripture

Guarding Against Itching Ears: Staying True to Scripture

In a world filled with diverse voices and opinions, it's essential for us to reflect on the way we approach matters of faith and spirituality. Too often, we find ourselves succumbing to the temptation of "itching ears," where we prioritise hearing what we want to hear over the timeless wisdom found in the Scriptures.

In recent times, there has been a noticeable shift away from preaching grounded in the Scriptures. Instead, some have begun to tailor their messages to suit popular trends, societal norms, or personal preferences. While adapting to the needs of the modern world is important, we must remember the importance of staying firmly rooted in the teachings of the Bible.

The Scriptures provide us with a moral compass, guiding us through life's complexities and challenges. They offer wisdom, comfort, and direction when we face adversity or uncertainty. When we turn away from these timeless truths in favor of messages that merely cater to our desires, we risk missing out on the profound spiritual growth and transformation that can come from studying and living by the Word of God.

It's crucial to recognise that seeking out teachings solely to satisfy our itching ears can lead us astray from the genuine message of faith. We should approach our spiritual journey with humility, openness, and a willingness to learn from the Scriptures, even when their truths challenge our preconceptions or comfort zones.

Let us remember the importance of discernment in the messages we consume and the teachings we follow. By staying rooted in the Scriptures and seeking understanding from their depths, we can find a more profound connection with our faith and a clearer path toward spiritual growth.

May we all strive to keep our ears tuned not to what merely satisfies our desires, but to the eternal truths found in the sacred words of the Scriptures.

Can a Christian lose Salvation?

Can a Christian lose Salvation?

Eternal security finds its biblical roots in the unchanging promises of God, who assures believers that salvation is a gift of grace, not earned by human efforts. Through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, sins are forgiven completely, and those who genuinely accept Him as Saviour are sealed with the Holy Spirit, guaranteeing their inheritance of eternal life. Numerous passages affirm the unbreakable bond between God and His children, emphasising His faithfulness, love, and the eternal nature of salvation.#OnceSavedAlwaysSaved #DivineGrace #UnyieldingLove #Salvation #FaithfulGod #GospelTruth #GodsPromise #InfiniteBlessings #HeavenBound #SecureInChrist #ForeverLoved #NoTurningBack #Redemption #EverlastingHope #Theological #brendonnaicker #theologyschool

…you may not like heaven

…you may not like heaven

In realms beyond our earthly sight,
Where celestial wonders shine so bright,
A #haven fair, where love abounds,
Heaven awaits the #redeemed, #joy resounds.

From weary paths and trials of pain,
A refuge beckons, where all tears wane,
Where golden gates swing open wide,
Heaven awaits the redeemed, side by side.

Where #angels sing in harmonious praise,
And radiant sunsets eternally blaze,
Where every heart finds solace deep,
Heaven awaits the redeemed, in peaceful sleep.

No more the burdens of #mortal strife,
No more the shackles that bind life,
For there, in realms of infinite grace,
Heaven awaits the redeemed, an eternal embrace.

No sorrow's shadow, no trace of despair,
But boundless love filling the air,
Where every #soul finds perfect rest,
Heaven awaits the redeemed, eternally blessed.

Oh, seek the path to this #divine place,
Embrace the #truth, embrace God's grace,
For in the arms of eternal light,
#Heaven awaits the redeemed, shining bright.

Doctrine of Scripture

Doctrine of Scripture

As we explore the doctrine of Scripture, we must recognise that its authority extends beyond a mere intellectual acknowledgment. It holds profound implications for our lives as believers. When we wholeheartedly embrace the authority of Scripture, we acknowledge its divine authorship and entrust ourselves to its transformative power. The Scriptures become more than mere words on a page; they become a living, guiding force that shapes our beliefs, influences our decisions, and molds our character according to God's perfect will.

Embracing the authority of Scripture invites us into a posture of humility and submission, recognising that our own opinions, cultural norms, and personal preferences must yield to the timeless and unchanging truths contained within its sacred pages. Scripture becomes the unshakable foundation upon which we build our lives, the compass that directs our paths, and the lamp that illuminates our way in a world often mired in confusion and moral ambiguity. #scripture #Bible #DoctrineOfScripture #Theology #systematictheology #DivineInspiration #Authority #Interpretation #Application #TransformativePower #ZoomCourse #GraduationRequirement #EngagingDiscussions #Clarity #Accuracy #SpiritualGrowth #TheologicalFoundation #DeepenUnderstanding #InteractiveLearning #MarkYourCalendars #LifeTransforming #enrollnow #godsword #theologyschool #brendonnaicker

Unmasking the Unholy Beast of Racism within Church Walls

The issue of subconscious racism in church leadership selection is a challenging one that requires careful examination and introspection. By considering the possibility of subconscious bias in their own church's leadership selection process and challenging cultural and societal beliefs that may be contributing to unconscious biases, individuals can work towards creating a more inclusive and diverse church community. #brendonnaicker #culture #subconsciousracism #racism #bias #racisminchurch #prejudices #inclusion #theologyschool #cultureraces

Consent to marry your daughter…

Consent to marry your daughter…

I have now to ask whether you can consent to part with your daughter early next spring, to see her no more in this world? Whether you can consent to see her departure to a heathen land, and her subjection to the hardships and sufferings of a missionary life? Whether you can consent to her exposure to the dangers of the ocean; to the fatal influence of the southern climate of India; to every kind of want and distress; to degradation, insult, persecution, and perhaps a violent death? Can you consent to all this, for the sake of perishing immortal souls; for the sake of Zion and the glory of God? Can you consent to all this, in hope of soon meeting your daughter in the world of glory, with a crown of righteousness brightened by the acclamations of praise which shall redound to her Saviour from heathens saved, through her means, from eternal woe and despair?

Sanctification for Salvation

Sanctification for Salvation

The Bible describes the new birth as God's creation of us as new creatures because it results in such a profound transformation that it gives us a new nature and a brand-new identity. An early intentional parallel is drawn to God's creative act of making the world and humanity. For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works he has foreordained for us to do (Eph. 2:10). #brendonnaicker #theologyschool #salvation #sanctification #church #gospel
Oct 21, 202210:16
Importance of Sanctification

Importance of Sanctification

Sanctification is a necessary work of God, it is also a necessary work of our salvation. The elect, redeemed sinner must be sanctified in order to be saved. Without this work, one is not saved, and an unholy sinner cannot consider himself saved. Scripture teaches that sanctification is required for salvation. #sanctification #church #theologyschool #brendonnaicker
Oct 21, 202208:56
Doctrine of Sanctification

Doctrine of Sanctification

Jesus Christ prayed 2,000 years ago, on the day before His crucifixion for us, "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth" (John 17:17). Christ's prayer on that historic night, as well as His ongoing intercession for His church Jesus Christ suffered the cross for our sanctification: "And for their sakes I sanctify myself [by the death of the cross], that they also may be sanctified through the truth" (John 17:19). Throughout His prayer in John 17, Jesus was concerned with the holiness of those whom the Father had given Him and for whom He was about to give His life: "keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me" (v. 11); "keep them from evil" (v. 15); "sanctify them" (v. 17); and then verse 19, which I previously quoted. Clearly, the main purpose of Jesus' death, and thus of God's death, was our sanctification, that is, that we might be holy.

Lies of FREE WILL

Lies of FREE WILL

What it means to be "born-again" is one of the most misunderstood teachings of the modern era. Most modern Christians have been taught that a sinner becomes born-again when he repents of his sin and places his faith in God.
This was the position of the Arminian party, which was opposed. It was questioned how could a dead man have faith. The modern church teaches that in order to be born-again, you must have faith. This contradicts what Jesus stated in John 3. In fact, in response to the question, "How can a man be born-again?" Jesus never said, "Repent and believe." He compared it to the wind, not knowing where it is going or coming from. For new birth is something you can't plan for or predict; it just happens and you have to deal with it. One of the difficulties that evangelists face is seeing people as sick rather than dead. #brendonnaicker #theologyschool #salvation #freewill

Loss of a Child…what happens?

Loss of a Child…what happens?

“Jesus is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.” Jesus’ death was sufficient for all sins, not just the sins of those who specifically come to Him in faith. The fact that Christ’s death was sufficient for all sin would also allow the “possibility” of God’s applying that payment to those who were never capable of believing. #Theologyschool #brendonnaicker #lossofachild #salvation #griefandloss #heaven

“Accepting Jesus”…is it unbiblical?

“Accepting Jesus”…is it unbiblical?

By using phrases like "accept Christ," we hope to reach people who have a limited understanding of the Bible and still want to hear the truth. A word does not need to be part of the biblical vocabulary if it is theologically correct and helps in comprehension.

Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

The Doctrine of Justification

The Doctrine of Justification

Justification is forensic, which means that it is legal. We are declared just in God's courtroom because Jesus lived an obedient life and paid the penalty for our sins. We receive this justification by faith alone, because there are no good deeds we can do to earn it. Because justification is wholly by faith, apart from any good works of ours, we are simultaneously just and yet sinners. Sinfulness still resides in us, yet we are cleared in God's courtroom. #theologyschool

You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.

Denying the Power

But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.

Can Christians lose their salvation?

This question of whether a person can lose his salvation is not an abstract question. It touches us at the very core of our Christian lives, not only with regard to our concerns for our own perseverance, but also with regard to our concern for our family and friends, particularly those who seemed, for all outward appearances, to have made a genuine profession of faith.

Man’s Nature

Man’s Nature

Simply stated: in the Fall, man just didn’t become spiritually sick — he died. As a result, he is completely unable to do any ultimate good in the eyes of God, including believing the gospel. Since the fall of Adam every person is conceived and born a slave, spiritually dead in their sin. Though we still have a will and are free to choose what we want to choose, we are not able to choose what is contrary to our nature. In the end, the will of fallen man can only embrace sin and face its ultimate wages: death.

Preachers should recognise the importance of exegesis, of carefully studying a text of Scripture in order to interpret its true meaning. For the preacher is to present himself "approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth" (2 Tim. 2:15). Every preacher worth his salt should say "Amen" to that. #theology #theologyschool #brendonnaicker #londoncitychurch #preaching #exegesis #pastor #Biblestudy
