Faithful Or Unfaithful

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

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).  By becoming a Christian, we chose

If Peter Could Be Forgiven, Then So Can We

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
