Denominations versus Divisions

I don’t like the word denominations nor do I really like the term “Plymouth-Brethren” for my (so-called) denomination. According to Scriptures the only thing I see Christians being called is Christians or brethren.

When I look out at that vast landscape of Christendom and a person calls themselves a Christian and exhibits the fruit of their profession, I call them brother or sister—so do most of the folk I assemble with. A Christian should be able to embrace all believers as being part of the Body of Christ although acknowledging that others may not be convicted of the same things.

Elijah: The Place and Setting

The stories of Elijah?s life may not be as famous as David and Goliath, but they are just as powerful and descriptive. Elijah, standing on Mt. Carmel laughing at the worshippers of Baal suggesting that they speak up?perhaps their god is out to eat or something. Or perhaps we may remember Elijah, his heart melted as he wishes that he could die.
