Yes, It Is Still There

When writing to the church in Corinth, the apostle Paul dealt with many problems and errors that existed in that congregation. One specific issue involved a son and his father’s wife. The record of this teaching is found in First Corinthians chapter five. Paul did not “beat around the bush” with this issue. He got

The Coming Of The Lord

I cannot tell you how many times that I have either read or heard of someone claiming to know when the Lord is coming back. Many religious people have followed teachers that predicted certain dates, but all have been wrong. Most of the time, problems come from misunderstanding certain Scriptures. In particular, a lot of

A Good Work

The twenty first century has many threats that can hinder, harm, and harass the church of Christ. In the modern society, sin is not only accepted, but encouraged. Thus, the work that the church of Christ does in evangelism, edification, and benevolence is extremely important during this time. If the church of Christ is not

Never Compromise

The Bible is full of many great examples and encouragements from by gone years.

With that being stated, many people do not understand what it is going to be like after we die. Granted, we are limited in the amount of information that has been revealed to us by God, but we

The Words Of The Preacher

After years of studying God’s Word, I am still amazed at the depth of knowledge that is contained therein. Even though it has been almost two thousand years since Its completion, the Bible is just as relevant as if it were written today. The New Testament instructs modern man how that he should live during

Why Did God Choose Job?

A study of the book of Job is one that will leave the reader better than he was before. In that book, Job demonstrates a great deal of endurance during a difficult span in his life. His example is one that will help modern man learn how to handle hardships. In the New Testament, James
