Church discipline — theology and practice

Church discipline — theology and practice

Posted on April 6, 2026April 17, 2026 by Mountain Veteran Ministries
Church discipline is one of those subjects most people would rather avoid. It has sometimes been mishandled in ways that were harsh, proud, and deeply damaging — and that history leaves a mark. But even so, church discipline remains a biblical duty and a necessary part of the church's life....
The relationship between Israel and the Church

The relationship between Israel and the Church

Posted on April 6, 2026April 17, 2026 by Mountain Veteran Ministries
How does the Church relate to Israel in the plan of God? That question shapes how you read the Old Testament, how you understand prophecy, how you think about the promises to Abraham, and how you see the people of God across the whole Bible. It is one of the most important questions in Christian...

Analysis of Church Government — Elder Rule, Congregationalism, Episcopacy

Posted on April 6, 2026April 17, 2026 by Mountain Veteran Ministries
Church government sounds like a dry subject — until you realize it reaches right into the life of the church. It determines who leads, who makes decisions, how accountability works, and how the congregation holds together when things get hard. Three broad models have shaped Christian thinking on...
The marks of the church — word, sacrament, discipline

The marks of the church — word, sacrament, discipline

Posted on April 6, 2026April 17, 2026 by Mountain Veteran Ministries
When Christians ask "What makes a true church?" they are not asking about buildings, music styles, or attendance numbers. The Reformation tradition points to three marks that have stood the test of time: the right preaching of the Word, the faithful administration of the sacraments, and the...
What makes a church a true church?

What makes a church a true church?

Posted on April 6, 2026April 17, 2026 by Mountain Veteran Ministries
In an age of religious noise, slick branding, and spiritual confusion, one question cuts through everything else: What actually makes a church a true church? The answer has nothing to do with the building, the style, or the crowd — and everything to do with faithfulness to Jesus Christ, the...
Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit — what is the unforgivable sin?

Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit — what is the unforgivable sin?

Posted on April 6, 2026April 17, 2026 by Mountain Veteran Ministries
Few passages in the New Testament have caused more spiritual anguish than the one where Jesus says there is a sin that will never be forgiven — not in this age or the one to come. Christians across the centuries have lain awake wondering whether they have committed it. Sensitive consciences,...
Spiritual gifts — how to think about them today

Spiritual gifts — how to think about them today

Posted on April 6, 2026April 17, 2026 by Mountain Veteran Ministries
Ask ten Christians what spiritual gifts are and you'll get ten different answers — and a fair amount of discomfort in the room. Some associate gifts with charismatic excess and want nothing to do with the conversation. Others are so fixated on identifying their personal gift mix that they've...
The Spirit’s Role in Sanctification

The Spirit’s Role in Sanctification

Posted on April 6, 2026April 17, 2026 by Mountain Veteran Ministries
Every Christian knows they're supposed to be growing. The problem is figuring out how. Try harder? Pray more? White-knuckle the sin you keep falling into? The New Testament has a different answer than most people expect — and it runs straight through the person of the Holy Spirit. Sanctification...
