They Had Been With Jesus

Early on in the history of the church, the apostles were quickly met with questions and opposition.  Some of that is recorded for us in the book of Acts.  When reading chapters three and four of that book, we are allowed to learn of one of the early miracles that Peter performed.  The Bible indicates

What Would You Give In Exchange For Your Soul?

While here on Earth, Jesus did not shy from describing what awaited Him.  In fact, Jesus explicitly informed His disciples of what was to come.  Matthew recorded, “From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests

The Will Of The Lord

I do not know how many times it has been claimed that someone just cannot understand the Bible.  Often times, this is merely an excuse for a lack of study and work.  I readily admit that some parts of the Bible are a deeper study than others, but I absolutely reject the idea that we

Parenting

Over the years there have been numerous books written on the job of parenting.  The subject has been addressed on different talk shows and in magazines.  There are so many “experts” that say try this or that.  It seems everyone, even if he does not a have a child of his own, has an opinion

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

Remember Lot’s Wife

How much value do you place on studying the Old Testament?   You might be surprised, but  some seem to think that a study of the Old Testament is a waste of time and energy.  The idea is that since we live under the New Testament/Law of Christ, we ought to avoid the Old Testament.  Is

The True Bread From Heaven

Have you ever been truly hungry?  I am not asking about whether your appetite is aroused when the clock is at a certain time of day.  We all have appetites.  What I am asking is have you ever gone so long without nourishment that you really experienced hunger?  When one has lived in such a
