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

Jesus Will Return

Almost two thousand years ago, Jesus left this Earth and ascended back to Heaven. The record of such is recorded in the book of Acts. “And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight” (Acts 1:9). It was at that time

I Know Whom I Have Believed

When we go about making decisions in our lives, it is good to have confidence that we have made the right choices. That is certainly true when it comes to spiritual decisions. While there may be repercussions for making the wrong choices in secular matters, the consequence of making the wrong choices in spiritual matters

Gifts That God Gave Man

I imagine that most of us enjoy receiving a gift from someone else. The fact that another thought so much of us as to spend his time and money makes us feel good inside. The gift might not be very consequential, but as the old saying goes, “it’s the thought that counts.” With all of

War Has Been Declared

It certainly is appropriate to describe the life of a Christian as one that is involved in spiritual warfare. “This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare” (1 Tim. 1:18).

I would guess that many Bible students would think of Peter as a great example of faithfulness and service. However, it is good to be reminded that that great man was just that, a man. That means at times, Peter sinned. That also means that he needed forgiveness. When we accept that he could be

How Far Will You Go With Jesus?

How wonderful and encouraging it is when a person chooses to become a Christian. That person has come to the decision that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. Also, that person has decided to change his thinking and his life. He is so confident in his faith that he will verbally acknowledge such

The Last Days

When some read the title of this article, they may have a misunderstanding. It is quite possible that many will think that I am referring to the immediate days prior to the Lord’s return. However, that is not completely accurate. On different occasions, the Bible has references to the “last days”, and we should diligently

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

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 has been the concern of many whether or not they will get to Heaven. The answer that Jesus
