No Prophet is Accepted in His Own Country

Early in the earthly ministry of Jesus, the Lord addressed a problem that hindered some from accepting the truth. After teaching in Galilee, the Bible records, “And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for

No More Hypotheticals

For many years, preachers in American congregations of the church of Christ have tried to warn and prepare the brethren of hardships that were to come. Different verses have been used to emphasize the growing threats. Take for instance the following, “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution” (2

What Happens When We Die?

I remember a fellow preacher once saying something like this: “If you don’t see angels after you die, then you’re in trouble”. Sadly, there is a lot of confusion and misunderstanding about death and what happens after. Hopefully some of that confusion can be erased by a study of some Scriptures. First of all, what

Remember Lot’s Wife

How much value do you place on studying the Old Testament? You might be surprised, but some seem to think that a study of the Old Testament is a waste of time and energy. The idea is that since we live under the New Testament/Law of Christ, we ought to avoid the Old Testament. Is

The True Bread From Heaven

Have you ever been astonished when you learned something? Did you struggle with what to say? Maybe it was due to joy because the news was so wonderful. Perhaps the news was so sad that you were left deflated. The apostle Paul had a similar occurrence during his lifetime. After much good had been accomplished

Proverbial Learning

When one engages in a study of the book of Proverbs, it is important to remember that it’s contents are considered to be a part of the Old Testament. Therefore, the book of Proverbs is not a part of the law under which we currently live. Instead, we live under the New Testament, the Law

I Know Whom I Have Believed

When we go about making decisions in our lives, it is good to have confidence that we have made the right choices. That is certainly true when it comes to spiritual decisions. While there may be repercussions for making the wrong choices in secular matters, the consequence of making the wrong choices in spiritual matters
