Do Not Become Slaves Of Men

Tony Funderburk Posted on October 20, 2013 by TonyFebruary 27, 2025
Know the truth of God, and do not become Slaves Of Men

You’ve probably heard the expression “the truth shall make you free“. Well, this isn’t truth according to your feelings or interpretations. This isn’t some “organic” or changing truth devised by mere men. It’s THE truth found in God’s word in the Bible. And God says (through Paul’s letter to the Corinthians) “do not become slaves of men“. Mere men make up all kinds of … The rest of the story…

Keep Your Marriage Vows and raise some eyebrows

There’s a sentence in 1 Corinthians 7:10-16 that really stands out to me…in a passage where Paul says to keep your marriage vows. Before I get to that stand-out sentence I’d like to talk about the gist of Paul’s words. If you’re already married, a wife is “not to depart from her husband” and “a husband is not to divorce his wife”. Read that passage … The rest of the story…

Lack Of Self Control

Tony Funderburk Posted on October 18, 2013 by TonyFebruary 27, 2025
Lack Of Self Control is a good reason to marry...but not a commandment.

Is your lack of self control a good enough reason to get married? Maybe. In 1 Corinthians Paul wrote “it is good for a man not to touch a woman“. At first glance that sounds like you shouldn’t get married. But he’s showing us how we distract one another from a more focused service to God. I’m thankful Paul doesn’t stop there because I … The rest of the story…

You Were Bought At A Price

Tony Funderburk Posted on October 17, 2013 by TonyFebruary 27, 2025
You were Bought At a Price...the highest price.

When Paul wrote, in 1 Corinthians “all things are lawful for me“, he was talking about Grace…the Grace offered to everyone by Jesus. Jesus paid for the Grace that’s freely offered to you. But Grace and you were bought at a price…the highest price ever paid for anything in the history of the world for anything…His Life. These days, all around me, I see … The rest of the story…

I Once Was Lost

Tony Funderburk Posted on October 16, 2013 by TonyFebruary 5, 2023
Discover how you can get from "I Once Was Lost" to "now I'm found".

Even people who have no love at all for the Bible, Jesus, or God have heard the famous line from the song “Amazing Grace”. You know the one I’m talking about…”I once was lost, but now am found” Being “lost” in the world isn’t a sin or a crime. It can certainly be an inconvenience, but the only punishment you’ll receive for being lost … The rest of the story…

Good Judge of Character

Tony Funderburk Posted on October 15, 2013 by TonyOctober 18, 2021
It's OK to be a good judge of character.

When I was a kid, my parents and grandparents would often say things like: “If everyone else jumped off a cliff, would you?” OR “Yeah, Johnny’s parents let him stay out late…but look at all the trouble he gets into.” Of course, when you’re a kid, you just think the old folks are trying to keep you from having fun. Actually, they want you … The rest of the story…

Bread of Sincerity And Truth

Tony Funderburk Posted on October 13, 2013 by TonyFebruary 27, 2025
TheWe should follow the Bread of Life and be the Bread Of Sincerity and Truth in His name.

If we eat from (or want to eat from) the bread of sincerity and truth, we need to realize we can’t just feed the flesh and expect to live forever. Eternal life doesn’t work that way. Believe me…I totally understand how the flesh wants what the flesh wants. And each of us gives in to it. That’s the whole reason Jesus even came to … The rest of the story…

A Spirit of Gentleness

Tony Funderburk Posted on October 12, 2013 by TonyFebruary 27, 2025
A Spirit Of Gentleness should be the first way into hearts.

If you’ve read all or most of my Bible based articles here on my website, I hope you understand how I’m writing to you with “a spirit of gentleness“. Sometimes my words may sound a little more heavy-handed, but that’s when I’m sharing a major point from God’s perspective…not merely my opinion. For the most part, though, I simply want to share the reasons … The rest of the story…

Spectacle To The World

Tony Funderburk Posted on October 11, 2013 by TonyFebruary 27, 2025
There are times when it's OK to be made a spectacle to the world.

Spectacle: an event or scene regarded in terms of its visual impact…A spectacle can be an amazing, beautiful thing. It can also be a cruel form of punishment when someone is put on display to mock and ridicule. When Paul wrote how he and other apostles were “made a spectacle to the world“, they sort of fit into both categories. For a long time … The rest of the story…

Stewards of the Mysteries of God

Tony Funderburk Posted on October 10, 2013 by TonyFebruary 27, 2025
As Stewards Of The Mysteries of God, Christians have access to answers instead of focusing on problems.

As I was growing up in Texas and Kansas I couldn’t have imagined that anyone would ever call me one of those “stewards of the mysteries of God“. In fact, if someone had told me that’s what I might be someday, I probably would would have responded with a very intellectual sounding “huh?”. But here I am, and I can tell you I haven’t … The rest of the story…
