The Beauty Of The Body Of Christ

When one does a study of the church, he will find that God uses different synonyms to refer to it.  On one hand, the Lord acknowledged that the church and the kingdom are the same thing.  “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church;

A Good Work

The twenty first century has many threats that can hinder, harm, and harass the church of Christ. In the modern society, sin is not only accepted, but encouraged. Thus, the work that the church of Christ does in evangelism, edification, and benevolence is extremely important during this time. If the church of Christ is not

What Makes God Wonder?

            The prophet Isaiah wrote, “And He saw that there was no man, And wondered that there was no intercessor: Therefore His arm brought salvation unto Him; And His righteousness, it sustained Him.” 59:16. There are so many things that make us wonder. We behold the original Seven Wonders of

Submitting To Our Elders

            The Scriptures says, “Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.”  Hebrews 13:17.

Jesus said, “my church,” Matthew 16:18, “my kingdom,” Luke 22:30; John 8:38, “the Kingdom of heaven,” Matthew 16:19, and “the Kingdom of God, John 3:5; Luke 22:16. The apostles

Are we following tradition or the Scriptures?

             Jesus said to the Pharisees, “Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written,This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition

By What Authority?

“And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?” (Matthew 21:23). Once again the Jewish leaders were challenging Jesus. In their minds, since none of them
