And Such Were Some Of You

The first century congregation in Corinth was inundated with various problems. Division, fornication, and scruples were just some of the issues that Paul addressed in his writings. Yet, even though there was room for much needed growth, Paul did mention some things that the congregation had in its favor. The apostle wrote, “Know ye not

The Change That Really Matters

Our society seems to love the notion of “change”. It is a political rallying cry and a social conditioning tool. We must come to understand that not all “change” is a good thing. Much of the “change” that is encouraged today is contrary to the will of God. People have become so brazen as to

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

Three Times

I would like to believe that no matter what man does to me, I will not deny that I know Jesus. I imagine that is how Peter must have felt at one time too. However, Jesus knew better. Before His crucifixion, Jesus explained to Simon Peter, “…behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he

Christ, Our Life

I am deeply concerned that some do not understand the dedication that it takes to be a faithful servant of Christ. It is the Lord, Who said, “…If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me” (Luke 9:23). Self-denial is an absolute necessity for

Risen With Christ

Once an individual obeys the Gospel, he is added by the Lord to His church (Acts 2:47). It is at that point that the man’s life is forever changed. Yes, he enjoys all of the spiritual blessings that are in Christ, but there is more to the life of a child of God (Eph. 1:3).

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

Beware Of False Teachers And False Doctrine

Wrong way sign at the end of a large field

The Bible is the most amazing book that has ever been written. Time after time, situations of life arise, and the Bible always has the answers that we need. With that being stated, I wonder just how often some people even read the Bible. I know that the masses of humanity are largely ignorant of

Seasoned With Salt

When studying the life of Jesus, it is beneficial to notice the different ways that He responded to various people and scenarios. Each time, our Lord spoke and acted perfectly. Take for instance, the discussion with the Samaritan woman at the well. Jesus knew how to start a conversation by saying “Give me to drink”

When God Shuts The Door

At different times, I, and others, have prayed to the Father for “doors” to be opened so that good works can be done. Through His providence, God has done just that over the years. However, we need to realize that the same God Who opens those “doors” is the same God Who can shut “doors”
