Since I stirred so much controversy last week in my sermon entitled, "Polygamy," I felt this would be a good time to explore the qualification of both a bishop and a deacon to be the husband of "one wife."
We read in I Timothy 3:2, "A bishop (ie. pastor) must then be blameless, the husband of one wife." And in I Timothy 3:12, we read, "Lets the deacons be the husbands of one wife."Genehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14640761654525298574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6030933.post-1070125797879196262003-11-29T09:09:00.000-08:002003-11-29T09:10:07.460-08:00"Polygamy"

"The Law, The Law and The Law"
In the Bible, we find many laws, but I find three sweeping primary laws dealing with the human soul. There is "Moral Law," found primarily in Exodus and Deuteronomy. There is "Jewish Ceremonial Law," found primarily in Leviticus. And there is the "Law of the Members," addressed by the Apostle Paul most clearly, in Genehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14640761654525298574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6030933.post-1067953419083801432003-11-04T05:43:00.000-08:002003-11-04T05:59:17.130-08:00"My Daddy Destroyed Sodom"
Several years ago, I heard Oprah Winfrey say on her television show, "Jesus was silent on the issue of homosexuality." The inference was that the New Testament brings an opening to the homosexual community to have full fellowship in the Church and with God while in their act.
