Remnant’s attendees are often asked about our choir and whether or not we have one. Our perspective on this matter is as follows: Unlike what’s happening at many churches, worship should not be a spectator-oriented activity where those ‘leading” worship are reduced to being performers and the congregation is basically being entertained. Everyone should participate […]
Commentary on Bible Versions
People occasionally ask which Bible translation we endorse, emphasize, and use at Remnant Christian Assembly. We understand many Bible translations to be of the New Age variety? For this reason, we focus on the King James translation. We also spend time looking at the original Hebrew and Greek to properly understand what’s said. The following […]
Nobody’s Perfect
Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace. — Psalm 37:37 Perfection is an issue that is often brought up in Christian circles. Oddly, however, it’s not usually discussed within the spectrum of what’s on the mind of the Lord. This is something that has been on […]
The Need for Perfect Understanding
It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus… (Luke 1:3) Where is your heart . . . concerning understanding? We hear about knowledge, wisdom and understanding. All are important, but understanding has a grace associated with it […]
Games People Should Play
We’ve held many open floor discussions for the singles over the years, both of the impromptu and the official variety. During most of these events, at some time or another, at least one or two people make comments or ask questions about games people play with regards to relationships. Amongst the commentary, we’ve heard women […]

In conversations such as this, being “ready” for married rarely comes up. If it does, “readiness” is usually based upon one’s desire as opposed […]
Give Us Barabbas
><> INTRODUCTION Murder in the church — an oxymoronic phrase, as murder shouldn’t be taking place in the church, right? Yet, though murder shouldn’t be taking place in the church, it is an extremely frequent and embraced tactic among people who profess the Lord Jesus. One of the reasons that God has sent the “Murder in the […]
The Challenge of Intercession
Consider Ephesians 6. Let’s look at Paul’s discourse on the armor of God. Our focus will be on a facet of this discourse that is often overlooked, simply because it is not mentioned as an article of clothing — prayer and intercession. In order to be successful, it’s a good idea to consider Paul’s commentary […]
Scripture and Prayer (Understanding the Process)
When approaching God’s word, one should also be aware that one of the consistent components of scripture is prayer. Take a close, attentive look at the scriptures, especially Psalms, and you will see the element of prayer magnified. Scripture will either show you how to pray (directly), show you what is lawful and expedient to […]
Halloween — What’s to Celebrate?!?!?
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. — James 4:4 Halloween. It’s short for “hallowed evening”. A season represented by such icons as ghosts, witches, wizards, goblins (demons), fear and deceit. […]
