He Did It Anyway

It is incredibly disappointing to know that so many people are either ignorant, or have been taught incorrectly about the death of Jesus.  Believe it or not, you might even encounter some who claim that Jesus did not realize why He came to Earth.  Let me state, before I go any further, that Jesus knew

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

What Day Is The Lord’s Day?

I will begin by stating that each day is a gift of God.  “This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it” (Psm. 118:24).  However, there is a certain day that has been given the designation “the Lord’s day”.  John wrote, “I was in the Spirit on

Lord, Are There Few That Be Saved?

While working during His earthly ministry, Jesus was asked a question that might have crossed your mind at some time.  “Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved…” (Luke 13:23)?  It is has been the concern of many whether or not they will get to Heaven.  The answer that Jesus gave

Christians have many great responsibilities.  From a personal perspective, none of which is more important than continuing to be a faithful child of God.  In the book of Revelation, it is written, “Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer:  behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be

I Never Knew You

While approximately two thousand years have past since it was proclaimed, “The Sermon on the Mount” still stands as the master sermon from the Master Preacher.  No matter how many times a person reads it, that sermon still resonates as strongly as it ever has.  There are so many great parts to it.  Whether it

Faith Plus Works

            Amongst many in the religious world, there is the idea that man need only have faith in order to please God.  Certainly, faith is necessary in the life of a child of God.  The writer of Hebrews stated, “But without faith it is impossible to please him:  for he that cometh to God must

Never Stop Confessing Christ

A true child of God cannot keep his faith a secret.  Regardless of the scenario, the Christian must be willing to acknowledge openly his confidence in Christ.  This is explicitly taught in different verses in the Bible.  First of all, consider what Jesus said.  “Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess
