Repentance – Cartersville church of Christ

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

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

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”

Thy First Love

The book of Revelation is a great study about the victory that faithful Christians enjoy. In the very first verse, the apostle John made it clear that the book is “signified” (Rev. 1:1). As one will notice, the root of “signified” is sign. John was letting the reader know that the things contained in

Why Should I Become A Christian?

A man with shrugged shoulders as if asking why

“Tell me, why should I become a Christian?” This question is reasonable and answerable. Peter explained that we should “…be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear” (1 Pet. 3:15). Therefore, let me begin my defense of

The Power Of God

For most of us, we have heard and/or read Matthew 28:18-20 and Mark 16:15-16. In both of those accounts, Jesus is on record as having commanded either teaching or preaching. In Mark’s account, Jesus said, “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15).
