The Deity of Christ – Undeniable!

By Ronnie W. Rogers / April 10, 2007 / Comments Off on The Deity of Christ – Undeniable!

Undeniable should not be taken to mean that no one denies Christ is God. One only has to look into the halls of academia, walk the corridors of cults, listen to the mantra of atheists and agnostics, or scan the pages of antiquity to find a plethora of individuals all too willing to deny that…

When anyone sees two young men riding bicycles and wearing white shirts and black ties, he can be almost certain that the Mormon missionaries are spreading the message of Mormonism. Generally, Mormons are well educated and hard working as well as being fairly knowledgeable about Mormonism. Often times, they are even more knowledgeable about how…

By Ronnie W. Rogers / April 10, 2007 / Comments Off on The High Cost of Reading

In today’s Crimson, the deans at Harvard urge professors to work at lowering the cost of required reading for classes. The per student average spent on reading materials at Harvard last year was $1300.00. What makes this article so interesting to me is when I consider it in light of the simple and oft repeated…

I just finished reading each of the notes that you wrote me expressing your gratitude for my part in Men’s Fraternity. Let me say, I was humbled at your kindness, spiritually encouraged by your thanksgiving and challenged by your daring bravery in seizing manhood.

Disciplined: Then What?

By Ronnie W. Rogers / March 28, 2007 / Comments Off on Disciplined: Then What?

Sometimes members of our church are unclear concerning how to relate to a person who has been removed from the membership of Trinity Baptist Church through formal church discipline. This concern usually arises out of a desire to help the person who was disciplined and yet not be in violation of the Scripture. However, the…

Church Discipline—We Are Not Alone

By Ronnie W. Rogers / March 27, 2007 /

We recently had to bring three of our members before the church for church discipline. This is always a sad time. As a matter of fact, one of the saddest times in the life of a church is when someone who professes to be a follower of Christ willfully rejects following the Scripture and has…

“Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”(2 Corinthians 9:7) As you well know, a couple in our church gave $200, 000.00 for renovating the Fellowship Hall, Kitchen and Gymnasium.

Can God and Evil Coexist?

By Ronnie W. Rogers / March 15, 2007 / Comments Off on Can God and Evil Coexist?

Of course this is the age old question that is asked by virtually everyone at some time over the course of their life. It may be a mother whose child died tragically, the philosopher who denies the existence of God, or the solider who fought valiantly only to be rejected by the people he risked…

Isaac the Cat

By Ronnie W. Rogers / March 14, 2007 / Comments Off on Isaac the Cat

Most of you at Trinity have heard me mention our cat, Isaac. Usually, I used him in humorous illustrations that highlighted the differences between humans and animals–like the truth that Isaac never did chores, or held down a job, at least we never saw him break a sweat or offer to buy our dinner. Although…
