His Word

Taking the time to study the lessons that Jesus taught is a worthwhile endeavor. The student will truly be learning from the Master. With that being the case, it may seem hard to imagine that individuals could have heard Jesus teach and still rejected Him and His Word. On one occasion Jesus taught, “I know

And Such Were Some Of You

The first century congregation in Corinth was inundated with various problems. Division, fornication, and scruples were just some of the issues that Paul addressed in his writings. Yet, even though there was room for much needed growth, Paul did mention some things that the congregation had in its favor. The apostle wrote, “Know ye not

Are You Sure That You Are Saved?

Many sermons and articles have been preached and written to instruct a sinner on how he can be saved. God’s plan of salvation is clearly revealed in the New Testament. If an accountable person hears the Word of God, believes Jesus is the Son of God, repents of past sins, confesses that Jesus is the

Fully Persuaded

Are you confident that God will bring to pass what He has said? Is there any doubt in your mind? What about your sins being forgiven? What about Jesus returning? Will we really be judged? Just how sure are you? I want to encourage you to have no doubt whatsoever! God is trustworthy, regardless

Try to put yourself in the position of first century Jews. For years, you have been living under the Law of Moses and waiting for the coming of the Messiah. Granted, you have likely been wrong in your expectations, but nonetheless, you wait. Then one day, you hear a man from Nazareth teach

Three Times

I would like to believe that no matter what man does to me, I will not deny that I know Jesus. I imagine that is how Peter must have felt at one time too. However, Jesus knew better. Before His crucifixion, Jesus explained to Simon Peter, “…behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he

Christ, Our Life

I am deeply concerned that some do not understand the dedication that it takes to be a faithful servant of Christ. It is the Lord, Who said, “…If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me” (Luke 9:23). Self-denial is an absolute necessity for

When God Shuts The Door

At different times, I, and others, have prayed to the Father for “doors” to be opened so that good works can be done. Through His providence, God has done just that over the years. However, we need to realize that the same God Who opens those “doors” is the same God Who can shut “doors”

Why We Should Rejoice

It is truly saddening to know that there are so many people bowed down in sorrow and dismay. This sadness is not just found in those in the world, but also it is found amongst members of the body of Christ. While I am not trying to diminish anyone’s situation in life, Christians should be,

The Fear Of The Lord

I will just come right out and say it! Many do not fear the LORD. I do not say that with any joy. It is a terrible thing that exists in a large part of the world. However, we should not begin to believe that this is the first time that such a lack
