What Would You Give In Exchange For Your Soul?

While here on Earth, Jesus did not shy from describing what awaited Him. In fact, Jesus explicitly informed His disciples of what was to come. Matthew recorded, “From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests

Walk Ye In Him

The fact that Paul loved the church of Christ is seen throughout his writings. Many times he showed his love and concern by encouraging brethren to behave as Christ desires. Sometimes he was able to visit personally with congregations, while at other times he was unable to do so. That did not stop Paul from

The Will Of The Lord

I do not know how many times it has been claimed that someone just cannot understand the Bible. Often times, this is merely an excuse for a lack of study and work. I readily admit that some parts of the Bible are a deeper study than others, but I absolutely reject the idea that we

If Peter Could Be Forgiven, Then So Can We

I would guess that many Bible students would think of Peter as a great example of faithfulness and service. However, it is good to be reminded that such a great man was just that, a man. That means at times, Peter sinned. That also means that he needed forgiveness. When we accept that he could

When one studies the life of Paul, it is hard not to come away with admiration for his great dedication.

For many years, preachers in American congregations of the church of Christ have tried to warn and prepare the brethren of hardships that were to come. Different verses have been used to emphasize the growing threats. Take for instance the following, “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution” (2

How Sure Are You?

The issue of faith is of supreme importance. The writer of Hebrews stated, “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” (Heb. 11:6). To support this truth, the Hebrews writer used

Evidence And Faith

In the judicial world, evidence is absolutely necessary. Without evidence, an entire legal case can fall short. Reasonable men do not question such. If there is not sufficient evidence to convict a person, then he is released and set free. While that is simple to understand from a secular position, why do so many reject

Faithful Or Unfaithful

Christians have many great responsibilities. From a personal perspective, none of which is more important than continuing to be a faithful child of God. In the book of Revelation, it is written, “Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be

Never Stop Confessing Christ

A true child of God cannot keep his faith a secret. Regardless of the scenario, the Christian must be willing to acknowledge openly his confidence in Christ. This is explicitly taught in different verses in the Bible. First of all, consider what Jesus said. “Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess
