The Wheat And The Tares

A faithful student of the Bible should know that parables were a useful way of teaching important lessons. Our Lord utilized this method of teaching numerous times.

Lord, Are There Few That Be Saved?

While working during His earthly ministry, Jesus was asked a question that might have crossed your mind at some time. “Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved…” (Luke 13:23)? It has been the concern of many whether or not they will get to Heaven. The answer that Jesus

The Change That Really Matters

Our society seems to love the notion of “change”. It is a political rallying cry and a social conditioning tool. We must come to understand that not all “change” is a good thing. Much of the “change” that is encouraged today is contrary to the will of God. People have become so brazen as to

Scriptural Worship-Part Three

When addressing the church in Corinth, Paul made it clear how he felt about preaching. He stated, “For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. For the preaching of the cross is to them that

Spiritual Worship-Part Two

The first act of worship that we will examine is prayer to the Father. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus declared to whom prayer should be addressed. He said, “But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret;

Spiritual Worship-Part One
