The Narrow Path Ministries

My Webster's says the word "church" is from the old English cirice which is from the Greek kyriakon/kyriakos, of the lord or from kyrios--lord, master. While some in the government schools may see themselves as lord over your children, I believe they would be unlikely to see the need to go beyond s...

TK wrote, you've said this sort of thing before, and i think i understand what you mean. my question, though, is what type of "science" could convince you that Antares is as big as they say it is, or that certain celestial objects are millions of light years away?

I know some leaders will point to what happened to Korah in Numbers 16 when he challenged the leadership of Moses. The leadership structure was quite different under the Old Covenant and this particular circumstance seemed to be based on jealously more than anything else. On the other hand, even und...

I don't think we'll know for sure until the US government has finished it's hearing. Unfortunately the accusation is not simply that she paid that much for a toilet but that she used donated "ministry" funds. The person who provided the information to the US government is Ole Anthony. He did not go ...

Homer wrote We can thank King James for the problem. He would not allow the translators to translate certain words into English. Homer, I’ve often wondered why the word ekklesia was translated as “assembly” in the KJV only when talking about a secular group and never when Christians were mentioned. ...

Hi Rae, I have a slightly different take on it. Sometimes the word is used in the NT to refer to the church universal. Other times it refers to local assemblies. In fact in Acts 19 the word is used 3 times to refer to a secular assembly. Since the word is used in these various contexts in the NT, I ...

I find it very thought provoking as well. I'm glad he put this little book together. I always enjoy reading different points of view.....and this book certainly has a different point of view! His dictionary of early Church quotations is available at the public library here. I've signed it out severa...
