Everything You Wanted to Know About Polygamy (But Were Afraid to Ask)

By David Servant

You might be wondering why I would write on the subject of polygamy. Let me assure you it is not because I’m advocating it for anyone or considering it myself. I think polygamists—whether they be ancient biblical characters or their modern counterparts—generally err on a grand scale. I also think, however, there are some good reasons to study what Scripture has to say on the subject. One is because it can teach us something about our own relationship with God. I hope to provoke your thinking, as always. But first, some trivia:

Are You a True or a False Disciple of Jesus Christ?

A Daily Little Lesson

Read the transcript of this video below.

We’ve been talking on Little Lessons about a very important subject, the subject of discipleship. Because Jesus told His apostles, “Go all the world, make disciples. Teach them to obey everything that I’ve commanded you” (see Matthew 28:19-20).

Man carrying cross - Are you a true disciple or a false disciple of Jesus Christ?

That’s what Jesus wants. That should be every minister’s goal. That should be every church’s mission statement. That’s what we ought to all personally be pursuing. And we should be evaluating ourselves. Am I truly a disciple of Christ?

What Should Be the Mission Statement of Every Single Church in the World?

A Daily Little Lesson

Read the transcript of this video below.

We’ve been talking in our last two previous Little Lessons about the subject of making disciples, and so the question that I posed at the beginning of this Little Lesson is certainly related to that.

What Should Be the Goal of Every Single Minister in the Entire World?

A Daily Little Lesson

Read the transcript of this video below.

We’re going to kind of pick up where we left off on our previous Little Lesson, as we were talking about the erroneous idea that there are two categories of Christians: those who are believers in Jesus, then the higher class of Christians, the real committed Christians, those who are disciples of Christ.

Man holding Bible, facing road - What should be the goal of every single minister in the world?

I began to expose the error in that type of thinking, because it’s just completely unbiblical. Any honest person who studies the Bible is going to come to that conclusion. This is not some difficult thing to figure out from Scripture. It’s just amazing though that more people aren’t talking about this.

Are There Two Categories of Christians? Believers and Disciples?

A Daily Little Lesson

Read the transcript of this video below.

We’re going to talk about the idea that there are two classes of Christians: the believers (that is, all those who believe in Jesus) and then the disciples who are often defined as the really committed believers.

Jesus' footsteps - Are there two categories of Christians? Believers and Disciples?

I’m going to just spill the beans right off the bat here. That’s false and unbiblical teaching!

How Can You Find Significance for Your Life?

A Daily Little Lesson

Read the transcript of this video below.

Everybody wants to have a life that’s meaningful, one that transcends just the everyday run-of-the-mill, in-the-trenches, survival existence. We want to have something that transcends that going on in our lives.

Woman looking out window - How do you find significance in your life?

Even people who are not Christians, I think, find themselves with that same kind of desire. Henry David Thoreau wrote, “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.”

Will Everyone Receive the Same Reward?

A Daily Little Lesson

Read the transcript of this video below.

On our previous lesson we were talking about what happens when you die. And, I emphasized the fact that your spirit evacuates your body, and maybe angels transport you to the throne of God.

Man facing the sun - Will everyone receive the same reward?

Sooner or later (it doesn’t really make any difference in eternity), we all have to stand before God and give an account.

What Happens When You Die?

A Daily Little Lesson

Read the transcript of this video below.

What happens at the moment of death? Well, it’s important, first of all, to understand that you are more than just a physical being, more than just a body and a brain and internal organs.

Woman sitting against tree, looking at a graveyard - What happens when you die?

Scripture says that we are spirit, soul and body. The spirit and the soul have been variously defined, but I think everybody can agree that the hidden person of the heart (Romans 7:22) as Paul refers to the spirit, is the real you. It’s the part of you that when the body is no longer functioning, no longer alive, the spirit then lives on.

A Daily Little Lesson

Read the transcript of this video below.

Is it okay for Christians to watch R-rated movies? Today’s question comes from a viewer who wants to know what is and what is not appropriate for a Christian to be watching as far as movies are concerned.

Woman watching tv - Is it okay for Christians to watch R-rated movies?

And we might as well throw TV shows in there. They rate TV shows nowadays too, and they should.

I’m Divorced and Remarried. Am I Living in Adultery? Part 3

By David Servant

In this final article that addresses “Divine Divorce Doctrine,” I want to respond to some of the common arguments and objections of those who advocate divorce for anyone who has been previously divorced and remarried, followed by remarriage to their original spouse if possible, or celibacy if not possible, until their original spouse is dead.

Picture with text: I'm Divorced and Remarried. Am I Living in Adultery?

My hope is to rescue those who are coming under the influence of Divine Divorce Doctrine—before their marriages and families are also left as carnage in its foul wake.
