The House That the LORD Built

Long ago, the Psalmist wrote, “Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain” (Psm. 127:1). The great lesson is that with the LORD there is strength and security. Away from the LORD, there is vanity. This truth was

Guilty Of The Blood

When Jesus was taken before Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor acknowledged that Jesus had done nothing worthy of death.  “Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ?  They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.  And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done?  But they

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

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

Why Should I Believe The Bible?

Sadly, we currently live in a time when many do not believe that the Bible should be trusted as the Word of God.  Due to such things as secularism, modernism, and atheism, some have been deceived into thinking that the Bible is merely a work of man.  While I agree that men were used in

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

The Lamb’s Book Of Life

I have to admit, it would have been amazing to be able to perform miraculous deeds in the first century.  In particular, what a great feeling it would have been to be able to take a sick individual and heal him of his sickness.  That is exactly what seventy individuals were allowed to do.  Luke

The Family Of God

When one thinks of God’s family, what images appear in your head?  Do you think of angels in Heaven?  Do you think of Jesus the Christ?  Do you know of any others who would fall into that list?  Let us examine some Scriptures to determine just exactly who are the family of God.             As
