Thy First Love

            The book of Revelation is a great study about the victory that faithful Christians enjoy.  In the very first verse, the apostle John made it clear that the book is “signified” (Rev. 1:1).  As one will notice, the root of “signified” is sign.  John was letting the reader know that the things contained in

Gone Fishing Lately?

Throughout the short life of Jesus, He took many opportunities to incorporate everyday life into His teachings.  This method of teaching was extremely beneficial.  By using things that His hearers already knew and understood, He made His teachings easier to apply.  Take for instance the account of fishing in Luke chapter five.              Luke recorded,

Exceeding Great and Precious Promises

Some of you have lived in a time where a man’s word was his bond.  An affirmation and a handshake were suitable to seal a deal.  In today’s society, with lying being so rampant and commonplace, we sometimes do not know who, or what, to believe.  With that being said, I am absolutely certain that

Rooted And Built Up

A study of the letters that Paul wrote is always beneficial and educational.  There are so many different aspects of the Christian life that he addresses.  Keep in mind, that although he was the earthly penman, the Scriptures came from God (1 Cor. 14:37).  With that being understood, let us notice a challenging command that

It is terribly disturbing how flippant many men are towards fathering a child.  There are numerous children who have no idea who their father is.  Some may know their fathers’ names, yet never see them.  Then, there are the various mothers who are left to rear the children alone.  This type of behavior is harmful

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

The Will Of The Lord

As Paul continued his work in the first century, it happened that he made a stop in Caesarea.  While there, a man named Agabus came from Judaea with a sobering prophecy.  It is recorded, “And when he was come unto us, he took Paul’s girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus

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”

Deliver Such An One Unto Satan

How do you think you would feel if you gave your children a command to obey, but then they simply ignored the command?  I imagine that it would upset you.  Now, imagine how God must feel when He gives us a command, and then we refuse to obey it.  Anger, disappointment, and hurt are just

Should We Still Follow The Old Law Of Moses?

            A large problem that exists in the religious world is what we should do about the Old Testament.  There are some who believe that it’s correct to still use the Old Testament as our modern day standard bearer.  Then there are some who believe that the Old Testament is no longer valid today, and
