Unfortunately, there are many alive today who feel “worthless” and “insignificant”. For different reasons, they do not place much value on their lives or their souls. I hope that this article can reach as many of those individuals as possible. How do you indicate the value of a given thing? The answer is found

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 that 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 be

God Is Not Mocked

Near the end of his letter to the congregations in Galatia, Paul made a point of explaining that there is a very real possibility of Christians being lost again. With the help of teachers, some brethren in Galatia had been influenced to be circumcised according to the Old Law. The admonition against such was clearly

Are You Sure That You Are Saved?

Many sermons and articles have been preached and written to instruct a sinner on how he can be saved. God’s plan of salvation is clearly revealed in the New Testament.

I imagine that many of the ones that will read this article have heard something similar to the following: “You are not my judge”, or “We are not to judge”. Sadly, this exposes the ignorance of many of those who say such

Walk And Beware

The life of a Christian is indeed blessed. Having obeyed the Gospel, the child of God enjoys all of the privileges that come with such. Take for instance the following examples: forgiveness of sins, reconciliation, redemption, sanctification, justification, and all spiritual blessings. However, with all of the blessings, the Christian must remember that obeying the

The Power Of God

For most of us, we have heard and/or read Matthew 28:18-20 and Mark 16:15-16. In both of those accounts, Jesus is on record as having commanded either teaching or preaching. In Mark’s account, Jesus said, “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15).
