Dealing with false teachers & bad prophecy

Skilled Workman Posted on May 7, 2011 by David BergslandMarch 23, 2020

Dealing with false teachers & bad prophecy is a constant issue today. I’ve spent some time over the past week in conversations on the Gentle Wisdom blog about false teachers and how to handle that issue. Poor Peter! The writer of the blog, Peter Kirk, has been involved in herding cats. This morning I’ve been working on my bible study of the Timothys and Titus. I thought I’d share a short portion of that. 2 Timothy 3:8–9 … Continue reading →

Called to teach the Word?

Skilled Workman Posted on May 1, 2011 by David BergslandMarch 23, 2020

If you’re Called to teach the Word – then God has given us our mode of operation. Remember we’ll be judged more strictly because of the responsibility of the calling. Timothy 2:24-26 The slave of the Lord must not be argumentative. He or she must be kind to everyone, inclined and gifted to teach, patient, correcting those opposed to your teaching with gentleness. God might give them repentance so they can come to know the Truth. In … Continue reading →

Mental Masturbation or anointed teaching – beware

Skilled Workman Posted on April 29, 2011 by David BergslandMarch 23, 2020

Mental Masturbation or anointed teaching – beware as it matters a lot. If your teaching gets you off and does not change the students, you’ve messed up, big time. For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the cleverness of the clever I will thwart.” Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For … Continue reading →

Give up your rights!

Skilled Workman Posted on February 18, 2011 by David BergslandFebruary 18, 2011

This is an excerpt from “Knowing Jesus as His Bride” As Americans we have some unique problems that people do not in other countries. We believe we have rights: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. To those we have added the rights of privacy, fairness, prosperity, opportunity, freedom of religion, weapons, fair trials, grand juries, reasonable treatment, and much more. We expect these things. They are our right! The marketing world would have us believe that … Continue reading →

Is play good?

Skilled Workman Posted on February 13, 2011 by David BergslandFebruary 13, 2011

I found myself writing this during a short discussion of some verses in Timothy. It seems good to me and the Spirit to share it with you. It’s a short passage from my next bible study on the Timothys and Titus. Much of it is not doctrine, but a serious question for us to answer personally as we raise our children and grandchildren: II Timothy 2:3–7 You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus … Continue reading →

The Kingdom versus the world

Skilled Workman Posted on January 19, 2011 by David BergslandOctober 20, 2021

The Kingdom versus the world is a radical difference. Jesus is Lord of the Kingdom. Scripture is clear that Satan rules the kosmos, the world system. Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out [John 12:30] …you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience… [Ephesians 2:2] … Continue reading →

What is the anointing to teach?

Skilled Workman Posted on January 8, 2011 by David BergslandSeptember 30, 2017

What is the anointing to teach? I mean what is the anointing to teach scripturally? It’s really an important question. You cannot teach scripture effectively without the power of the Holy Spirit. The modern phrase to cover this gifting is to call it the anointing. This is the biblical phrase to describe what we do. This anointing is talked about in I John—but what does that mean? If it is central to your efforts to teach, you need to … Continue reading →

Discerning ministries: what is real?

Skilled Workman Posted on January 4, 2011 by David BergslandJanuary 4, 2011

As we see, attend, and fellowship with various churches and ministries,it is important to discern if they know the Lord and how well. Here are some things to look for as you find new sources of spiritual guidance and leadership. I mentioned this briefly already. The same things apply to finding a new church or fellowship to join. How is Jesus treated? This is always the bottom line. If a church considers Jesus to be the archangel … Continue reading →

Jesus’ view on church leadership

Skilled Workman Posted on January 1, 2011 by David BergslandJanuary 1, 2011

Jesus gives us the most important aspects of church leadership The first aspect of leadership is found in the Gospels. Jesus emphatically told us: Don’t let anyone call you teacher, for you have one teacher—the Messiah [Matthew 23:10] We need to keep this at the forefront of our minds as we study church leadership. For Jesus is the leader. He is the head and we are merely the body—His Bride. At best we are stewards of gifts … Continue reading →

Gathering a remnant…

Skilled Workman Posted on December 29, 2010 by David BergslandDecember 29, 2010

For a long time my heart has been directed toward people in the pews of mainline churches left without teaching, training, or encouragement in righteousness, power, and love in the Lord. I spend much time thinking about them, praying for them, asking God to reach them. Today, I was listening to a televangelist who was prophetically talking about God gathering a remnant as we all prepare for the end and the revisiting of the Messiah to the earth. … Continue reading →
