Psalm One

The book of Psalms is a priceless treasure.  No doubt they were a source of great comfort and knowledge to those in the past.  Thankfully, God has seen fit to preserve these writings for subsequent generations. From the very outset, the Bible student is privileged to glean great spiritual wealth from what we call Psalm

Jesus And Joseph

The apostle Paul once wrote, “Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ” (1 Cor. 11:1).  That should be a lesson to all of us who are Christians.  We should strive daily to be as close a follower of Christ as possible.  The closer we follow, the more that we will

Gifts That God Gave Man

I imagine that most of us enjoy receiving a gift from someone else. The fact that another thought so much of us as to spend his time and money makes us feel good inside. The gift might not be very consequential, but as the old saying goes, “it’s the thought that counts.” With all of

Pattern Theology

When some read the title of this article, it is possible that they will instantly be opposed to the study at hand.  The idea of “pattern theology” is nothing more than a flippant thing to some people.  They seemingly have no use for it, and also seemingly ignore Biblical principles that teach the necessity of

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.  If an accountable person hears the Word of God, believes Jesus is the Son of God, repents of past sins, confesses that Jesus is the

Fully Persuaded

Are you confident that God will bring to pass what He has said?  Is there any doubt in your mind?  What about your sins being forgiven?  What about Jesus returning?  Will we really be judged?  Just how sure are you?  I want to encourage you to have no doubt whatsoever!            God is trustworthy, regardless

Excuse Me

          Try to put yourself in the position of first century Jews.  For years, you have been living under the Law of Moses and waiting for the coming of the Messiah.  Granted, you have likely been wrong in your expectations, but nonetheless, you wait.  Then one day, you hear a man from Nazareth teach

Spiritual Worship-Part Five

The final act of worship that we will notice is the action of giving/contribution.  Christians should know that all of the blessings that we have are from God.  James wrote, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow
