The book of James has been called the Proverbs of the New Testament. The reason for such is the great amount of wisdom and knowledge that can be gained from a study of it. Through simple and easy to understand statements, James instructs the child of God on various issues. Take for instance the following

The Beauty Of The Body Of Christ

The Bible opened to the book of Ephesians

When one does a study of the church, he will find that God uses different synonyms to refer to it. On one hand, the Lord acknowledged that the church and the kingdom are the same thing. “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church;

A Man Of Sorrows – Part Two

Isaiah continued his description of the Messiah when he wrote, “He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth” (Isa. 53:7). This was a foretelling of how

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.

Verification from Jesus

How Often Do You Look? Part Two

If a person can be convinced to look into “the perfect law of liberty”, then there comes the importance of continuing “therein”. It is very simple. It is one thing to gain knowledge, but it is another thing entirely to put that knowledge to work. I might know what is the right thing to do,

Careful And Troubled About Many Things

I imagine that most of us have had company come to visit us at some time. That occasion probably brought about the desire to clean and “spruce up” our homes. There is nothing wrong with having a clean home, but we should not let the trivial matters override the main focus. We are going to
