Dispensationalism  is a method of interpreting history that divides God’s work and purposes toward mankind into different periods of time. Usually, there are seven dispensations identified, although some theologians believe there are nine. Others count as few as three or as many as thirty-seven dispensations. In this article, we will limit ourselves to the seven basic dispensations found in Scripture.   The first dispensation is called the  Dispensation of Innocence  ( Genesis 1:28-30  and  2:15-17 ). This dispensation covered the period of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. In this dispensation God’s commands were to (1) fill the earth with children, (2) subdue the earth, (3) have dominion over the animals, (4) care for the garden, and (5) abstain from eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. God warned of the punishment of physical and spiritual death for disobedience. This dispensation came to an end when Adam and Eve disobeyed in e...

  Introduction In today's fast-paced and consumer-driven world, the line between fulfilling our needs and giving in to our greed can often become blurred. This dilemma is particularly prevalent within churches and Christian worship places, where the pursuit of material possessions can sometimes overshadow the true essence of spirituality. In this article, we delve into the concept of "Need or Greed" and the importance of striking a balance between our earthly desires and our spiritual fulfillment. Need or Greed: Understanding the Difference Defining Our Material Needs As human beings, we require certain basic necessities to sustain ourselves, such as food, shelter, and clothing. These needs can be considered legitimate and essential for our physical well-being. The Bible itself acknowledges the importance of fulfilling these needs in Matthew 6:25-34, where Jesus teaches his followers not to worry about food, clothing, or shelter, as God will provide for them. The Te...

 In today's world, where money and power seem to be the ultimate goals for many individuals and organizations, it is not uncommon to see compromises being made in the name of financial gain. This trend is not limited to the corporate world, but it has also seeped into the sacred spaces of churches. The issue at hand is the compromising of pulpit purity for the sake of money from political outfits. Pulpit purity refers to the concept of maintaining the sanctity and integrity of the church pulpit – the place from where religious leaders deliver sermons and teachings to their congregation. It is a sacred space, meant to be free from any external influences or agendas. However, with the rise of political outfits offering financial incentives to churches, we are now witnessing a dangerous trend of compromising this pulpit purity. The lure of money can be tempting for any organization, including churches. And in a time where churches are struggling to maintain their finances, it is under...

Pulpit Purity - Upholding the Sanctity of Worship As Christians, we believe in the power of worship and the importance of maintaining a pure and holy space for our connection with God. One of the most significant aspects of Christian worship is the pulpit, which serves as a symbol of God's presence and the vehicle through which His message is delivered to His people. The pulpit holds a special place in our faith as it is where we gather to hear and learn from the Word of God. It is a sacred space that should be treated with reverence and respect, but unfortunately, in today's world, we see a lack of understanding and respect for its sanctity. The pulpit is often defiled by worldly temptations such as money, power, and personal gain. As believers, it is our duty to maintain the purity and integrity of the pulpit. We should not allow any kind of worldly temptation to defile this sacred space. The Bible reminds us in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, "Or do you not know that your body i...
