Hard To Be Understood

It is nothing new to hear someone claim that the Bible is too hard to understand.  For some, this may just be an excuse to avoid studying the Word of God altogether.  Let us think about that more deeply.  Would God give us His Word, by which we will all be judged, but make it

Evil For Evil

Near the end of what we now call First Thessalonians, the apostle Paul wrote several things that are important in the life of a Christian.  One of those things is “See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men” (1

Finally…

After having covered different topics, the apostle Peter began to bring to a close the letter that we call First Peter. Peter encouraged, “Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing

David And Goliath

            The Bible is filled with events that are amazing and awe inspiring.  One has to do with a youngster and a giant.  Even some of the least Biblically educated have heard of the account of David and Goliath.  Some believe that the record is only a legend, but it is historically accurate.  Let us

As Dear Children

There is little in this world that can bring out the joy in a person’s heart quite like a little child.  The Internet is inundated with videos of babies and toddlers doing sweet and funny things.  I can remember when my daughter was little.  Each day was special.  Whether it was watching her play with

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

A World Of Iniquity

Sometimes the smallest of things can be responsible for tremendous damage. Think about a match. In size, it is rather small. Unless it is lit, it will not do very much harm. However, once it is lit, that small flame can be the start of something terrible. Houses can burn to the ground. Forests can

The Last Days

When some read the title of this article, they may have a misunderstanding. It is quite possible that many will think that I am referring to the immediate days prior to the Lord’s return. However, that is not completely accurate. On different occasions, the Bible has references to the “last days”, and we should diligently

God’s Son, A Servant

As the Bible records, God has only one begotten Son, and that is Jesus the Christ (John 3:16). Before being born into this world, Jesus was known as the Word (John 1:1-3). The Word, along with the Father and the Holy Spirit, is Deity. That means that Jesus has all of the qualities of God.

A Woman Taken In Adultery

It is truly a blessing to have copies of the Bible that we can read and study.  In the Word of God, we are told of many different things that have happened over the history of mankind.  Some of those things are great accomplishments, while others are terrible failures.  When Jesus was alive on the
