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 truly hungry?  I am not asking about whether your appetite is aroused when the clock is at a certain time of day.  We all have appetites.  What I am asking is have you ever gone so long without nourishment that you really experienced hunger?  When one has lived in such a

Evidence And Faith

In the judicial world, evidence is absolutely necessary.  Without evidence, an entire legal case can fall short.  Reasonable men do not question such.  If there is not sufficient evidence to convict a person, then he is released and set free.  While that is simple to understand from a secular position, why do so many reject

A Reservation Of Inheritance

Just stop and think about it for a moment, being a Christian is the greatest life that one could ever wish to have.  Now do not get me wrong, I am not excluding the facts that sometimes as Christians we face many oppositions and persecutions, but living the life of a Christian is still the

Making An Apostle Marvel

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

Trusting The Lord

Jesus is not your average man. Yes, He is known as the Son of man. That indicates His humanity. Yet, He is also known as the Son of God. That indicates His Deity (John 5:18). It is correct to identify Jesus as God (John 1:1-3). He is one of three that make up the Godhead

Abraham’s Seed

In the course of history, few men have been esteemed higher than the man named Abraham. The Bible states that he was called the “Friend of God” (James 2:23). That was due to his great faith and obedience, which can easily be seen by reading, “By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out
