A Look At Love

It is a fact that one of the most important things that should exist in a Christian’s life is love.  Over and over this precept is taught throughout God’s Word.  It has even been noted that the Bible is a book about God’s love for us.  Some of the most well known verses of Scripture

The Two Greatest Commandments

Let me begin by stating that all of the Word of God is needed and great.  Acknowledging such, Paul wrote, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:  That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works”

Wonderful Women Of God

If we are not careful, we might make the mistake of overlooking the contributions and dedication of godly women.  It is true that much of the Bible details the words and deeds of different men.  However, that does not mean that there have not been numerous ladies who have left an impact on the world

Respect Of Persons

How do you think of yourself?  Do you consider yourself a good model of what a Christian ought to be?  Are you striving to live as the New Testament commands?  What about how you think of other people?  Are you constantly comparing the way that you act to how other people act?  How about this?

Who Is My Neighbor?

Interaction with others is essential to being a Christian.  After all, how are we going to be “the light of the world” and “the salt of the earth” if we never interact with the people around us (Matt. 5:13-16)?  The apostle Paul knew this to be true, for it is recorded, “I wrote unto you

Avoiding Weariness

As we go about our daily lives, it is not unusual for us to feel tired every once in a while.  After all, there is certainly much that can be accomplished in each day.  The body will naturally become fatigued, and as such, will need rest.  This truth was even found in the life of

Serving God And Others

Being a Christian is a wonderful thing!  Having the forgiveness of sins, having been born again, and having fellowship with God and other Christians are just some of the reasons that living the life of a child of God is so fantastic.  However, being a Christian also means that I am supposed to “deny self”

Growing In Christ – Part Three

               With the maturation of a child of God, there should be the desire to become more and more like Christ.  Paul explained this when he wrote, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:  Who, being in the form of God, thought it not
