Christ, Our Life

Fluffy clouds in the sky with the sun peeking through

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

Burden Bearing

Contrary to what some have said, the Bible does not contradict Itself. The beauty and the wonder of the Bible’s accuracy is truly something to behold. However, there are times that some opponents and skeptics will present what they believe to be evidence of contradiction. Take for example two particular verses in Galatians chapter six.

The Parable Of The Sower

It is clear from Scripture that Christians are commanded to evangelize those around us. Jesus explicitly stated, “…Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15). However, as we go about doing such, we would be wise to learn that not every person will react identically to another. To

Beware Of False Teachers And False Doctrine

Wrong way sign at the end of a large field

The Bible is the most amazing book that has ever been written. Time after time, situations of life arise, and the Bible always has the answers that we need. With that being stated, I wonder just how often some people even read the Bible. I know that the masses of humanity are largely ignorant of

Scriptural Worship-Part Three

When addressing the church in Corinth, Paul made it clear how he felt about preaching. He stated, “For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. For the preaching of the cross is to them that

The Church Of Christ

In a world where there is a “church” to suit every fancy and whim, I wholeheartedly affirm that I am not ashamed to be a part of the church of Christ. Sadly, there are some in this world who think that I have the wrong point of view. Let me take the time to supply

Handle With Care

It is very clear that Paul loved the church in Corinth. More than once, Paul did what he could to teach, encourage, and admonish those brethren. When he did such, Paul was very careful that he did not rely on his own feelings and opinions. Instead, Paul utilized the best resource that was available to

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”

Worse And Worse

The third chapter of Second Timothy is both revealing and depressing at the same time. Please do not misunderstand me, I am not demeaning any part of the Word of God. I am simply expressing how one can feel when he reads that chapter, and then compares it to the modern-day problems that exist. Let

Calling Out False Teachers

From time to time, there are certain individuals who express a concern about identifying and exposing those who teach doctrines contrary to the Law of Christ. Sometimes the thought might be that by doing such, matters might get worse. While that may seem true in the immediate future, we must never stop taking a stand
