The Conscience-A Good Guide?

I assume that most who read this article have heard the old saying, “let your conscience be your guide.”  Usually such is uttered as advice when someone has difficult decisions to make.  However, we should be careful in such instances.  Is the conscience really a reliable guide for our lives?  The answer depends upon how

We Need To Remember

A Bible student should try to retain as much of the Scriptures as he can.  No doubt that takes work and effort (2 Tim. 2:15).  We are told that each chapter and verse of the Bible is given by inspiration of God and is useful (2 Tim. 3:16).  With that being stated, we sometimes find

Marriage

In the recent past of mankind, there have been some who have worked to change the way man thinks about marriage.  Even though some have heeded to the calls of change, the definition of marriage still remains the same. After the creation of man, there was a statement made by God that showed His understanding

Faith That Would Not Burn (Part One)

There are numerous accounts in the Old Testament that are still very useful for our learning today.  After all, Paul made it clear, “For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope” (Rom. 15:4).  One of those great accounts is found

The Captain Of Their Salvation

There are many different occasions in which the Bible records details of our Savior.  Each of those references is worthy of our attention and study.  After all, Christians should be striving to be more like Jesus on a regular basis.  The writer of Hebrews stated, “But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower

The House That the LORD Built

Long ago, the Psalmist wrote, “Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain” (Psm. 127:1). The great lesson is that with the LORD there is strength and security. Away from the LORD, there is vanity. This truth was

No Atheists on Judgment Day

It was not that long ago that atheism was only marginally embraced.  Now it seems that more and more people are adopting the view that God is not real.  Seemingly educated individuals have forsaken logic and evidence to embrace man’s theories.  Instead of accepting the truth that God exists, some have become militant-like in their

He Did It Anyway

It is incredibly disappointing to know that so many people are either ignorant, or have been taught incorrectly about the death of Jesus.  Believe it or not, you might even encounter some who claim that Jesus did not realize why He came to Earth.  Let me state, before I go any further, that Jesus knew

The King

Throughout history, many societies have been ruled by a king.  This type of government is known as a monarchy.  Sometimes the monarch shares rule with others such as a queen or a legislative body.  Then there are times when the king has complete rule and power.  When this scenario exists, it is referred to as

Why Should I Believe The Bible?

Sadly, we currently live in a time when many do not believe that the Bible should be trusted as the Word of God.  Due to such things as secularism, modernism, and atheism, some have been deceived into thinking that the Bible is merely a work of man.  While I agree that men were used in
