Why was Paul Forbidden from Preaching in Asia and Bithynia (Acts 16:6-7)?

I do not know what the specific reason was that the Holy Spirit forbade and did not permit Paul, Silas, and Timothy to preach in these locations. The Bible does not say other than that God wanted them to go into Macedonia and preach there. It may have been as simple as that. However, God sometimes says “No,” even to good things that we desire to do, and we can learn some lessons from this. Let’s look at a few examples in the Bible where God said “no.”

Addiction and the Christian – Part 1

There are other things, however, to which a person may be addicted. One may be addicted to his job. We call these people workaholics. A person may be addicted to talking or anger. Pornography is a great addiction for many. In his book, Removing Emotional Pain, Ron Wilkins lists the top ten addictions of his time. They are in order: 1) anger, 2) talking, 3) sex, 4) food, 5) tobacco, 6) alcohol, 7) drugs, 8) stealing, 9) gambling, and 10) work. We could probably add “electronics” to this list today.

Qualities of a True Worshipper – In Spirit and in Truth

INTRODUCTION:

1. Worship is the response of all that man is to all that God is and does.

1) We do not worship for what we can get out of it, but because God is worthy of it.

2) However, true worship to God does lead to personal enrichment and enablement – the kind of strength that helps the Christian bear the burdens and fight the battles of life.

2. In our study of “True Worship” we have defined it, described it, and have shown what false worship is.

3. We will now begin to discover what true worship to God is by noticing three of its characteristics found in John 4:20-24…
