Will They Reverence The Son?

A study of the Old Testament will show the reader that God took many opportunities to teach and plead with His people. Prophet after prophet preached the need for the people to repent and live as God commanded. At times, the preaching was well received, and for a period of time, the people started living

Vision

Let me ask some serious questions! How do you envision the congregation where you worship in ten years? Do you think that the number of members will be more or less than now? What about young people? Do you think that there will be any youth that are interested in learning and obeying God’s Word?

Dual Citizenship

For the child of God, he is in a unique situation. While physically he is a citizen of his city, county, state, and nation, he is also a spiritual citizen of Heaven. Paul wrote to the Philippians instructing them, “For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord

They Had Been With Jesus

Early on in the history of the church, the apostles were quickly met with questions and opposition. Some of that is recorded for us in the book of Acts. When reading chapters three and four of that book, we are allowed to learn of one of the early miracles that Peter performed. The Bible indicates

What Would You Give In Exchange For Your Soul?

While here on Earth, Jesus did not shy from describing what awaited Him. In fact, Jesus explicitly informed His disciples of what was to come. Matthew recorded, “From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests

The fact that Paul loved the church of Christ is seen throughout his writings. Many times he showed his love and concern by encouraging brethren to behave as Christ desires. Sometimes he was able to visit personally with congregations, while at other times he was unable to do so. That did not stop Paul from

The Will Of The Lord

I do not know how many times it has been claimed that someone just cannot understand the Bible. Often times, this is merely an excuse for a lack of study and work. I readily admit that some parts of the Bible are a deeper study than others, but I absolutely reject the idea that we

Blessed And Thankful

It is good to be reminded frequently just how blessed Christians really are. Christians are given all spiritual blessings (Eph. 1:3). Likewise, God blesses the faithful with the necessities of this life (Matt. 6:24-34). Above all men, we should be extremely thankful. Sadly though, there are times when we lose sight of our blessings. By

Continuing To Work

Can you remember when “a job well done” was appreciated and encouraged? It is sad, but it has become harder and harder to get people to do actual work. Instead, many seemingly live their lives according to the attitude of “doing just enough to get by”. As Christians, we should never forget that while we

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 such a 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
