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

Giving God Gratitude

            Have you ever noticed how many Scriptures there are that deal with being thankful to God?  Just for example, notice some verses.  “In every thing give thanks:  for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” (1 Thess. 5:18).  “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns

Brethren, Pray For Us

                    To some, the idea of praying to God is useless, fruitless, and nonsensical.  Many do not believe that God exists, and therefore think that prayer has no real value.  Instead, some might look at prayer as a “crutch” on which weak people lean.  Their idea

A Man Of Sorrows – Part One

The Birth Of Jesus

As many have experienced, there is nothing quite like the birth of a child. For many reasons it is a joyous occasion.

What Are We Willing To Lose?

The most important decision that a man can make is whether or not to become a Christian. It truly is a matter of everlasting consequences. If the man decides that he wants to go to Heaven, and thus decides to obey the Gospel, he should understand that there are some things that he may have

The LORD Bless Thee

We should often be reminded of the source of our blessings. 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 of turning” (James 1:17). That means that all of our blessings, whatever they may be, are given

Helping Our Erring Brethren

The fact that Christians commit sins is clearly taught in Scripture. John wrote, “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we
