Haman, A Lesson of Pride: Part One

The Old Testament is filled with accounts of individuals, both good and bad. Some give us encouragement and strength to read about their faith and service. Others serve as examples of how not to live due to their recorded sins and mistakes (Rom. 15:4; 1 Cor. 10:1-11). One such person is mentioned in the book

A Command Too Often Ignored

It should go without saying that there is no command given by God that is insignificant. It is not for man to question why God wants a thing done a certain way. Instead, man should simply trust God and obey. With that being stated, there is a command that God has given that is unfortunately

Whose Are You?

Have you ever noticed that human beings can sometimes make things more complicated than they should be? Take for instance, the length of many contracts and “terms and conditions”. It is absolutely ridiculous that it takes so many words and legal terminology to come to a mutual agreement! After all, Jesus said, “Again, ye have

Enduring Temptation

Small stones balanced on top of each other.

Some individuals may have the mistaken notion that being tempted is equal to committing sin. The Bible plainly teaches otherwise. In the letter written by James, it is stated, “Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them

Someday, Jesus will make His return. On that day, there may be someone who just obeyed the Gospel an hour before His arrival. What reward will he receive? Also, when Jesus returns, there may be a man who has been a faithful Christian for sixty years before His arrival. What reward will he receive? Some

Prepare For Departure

I imagine that most of us have taken a trip during our lives. There is usually excitement and expectation. Children can hardly sleep the night before because they imagine the things that they will do when they get there. Adults look forward to relaxing or seeing family and/or friends. However, before all of that can

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

A child's hand on top of the parent's hands

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
