Exceeding Great and Precious Promises

Some of you have lived in a time where a man’s word was his bond. An affirmation and a handshake were suitable to seal a deal. In today’s society, with lying being so rampant and commonplace, we sometimes do not know who, or what, to believe. With that being said, I am absolutely certain that

Rooted And Built Up

A study of the letters that Paul wrote is always beneficial and educational. There are so many different aspects of the Christian life that he addresses. Keep in mind, that although he was the earthly penman, the Scriptures came from God (1 Cor. 14:37). With that being understood, let us notice a challenging command that

False Hope

Did you know that it is possible to believe a lie? It is true! Yet, just because I believe something, that does not make it so. As you can imagine, there are numerous problems that can arise with such instances. The worst of these problems is when there are spiritual consequences. Right now, because they

The Will Of The Lord

As Paul continued his work in the first century, it happened that he made a stop in Caesarea. While there, a man named Agabus came from Judaea with a sobering prophecy. It is recorded, “And when he was come unto us, he took Paul’s girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus

Why Should I Become A Christian?

“Tell me, why should I become a Christian?” This question is reasonable and answerable. Peter explained that we should “…be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear” (1 Pet. 3:15). Therefore, let me begin my defense of

Being a Christian is a wonderful thing! Having the forgiveness of sins, having been born again, and having fellowship with God and other Christians are just some of the reasons that living the life of a child of God is so fantastic. However, being a Christian also means that I am supposed to “deny self”

Deliver Such An One Unto Satan

How do you think you would feel if you gave your children a command to obey, but then they simply ignored the command? I imagine that it would upset you. Now, imagine how God must feel when He gives us a command, and then we refuse to obey it. Anger, disappointment, and hurt are just

Be Thou An Example

A lot of us have a certain someone from our pasts that was a mentor/example. For some it was a grandparent or parent. For others it might have been a close friend that took someone under his wing. Regardless, the impacts made in the lives of others are extraordinary. For some of us, that example

The life of a Christian is indeed blessed. Having obeyed the Gospel, the child of God enjoys all of the privileges that come with such. Take for instance the following examples: forgiveness of sins, reconciliation, redemption, sanctification, justification, and all spiritual blessings. However, with all of the blessings, the Christian must remember that obeying the

The Power Of God

For most of us, we have heard and/or read Matthew 28:18-20 and Mark 16:15-16. In both of those accounts, Jesus is on record as having commanded either teaching or preaching. In Mark’s account, Jesus said, “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15).
