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

Walk Ye In Him

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.

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

Marriage

In the recent past of mankind, there have been some who have worked to change the way man thinks about marriage. Even though some have heeded to the calls of change, the definition of marriage still remains the same. After the creation of man, there was a statement made by God that showed His understanding

Parenting

Over the years there have been numerous books written on the job of parenting. The subject has been addressed on different talk shows and in magazines. There are so many “experts” that say try this or that. It seems everyone, even if he does not a have a child of his own, has an opinion

What Are We Seeking?

The Bible makes it clear that there are two different types of life that a man can choose to live. One is a righteous life that is demonstrated by living in obedience to God’s Word. The other is a wicked life that is lived in rejection of God’s Word. Each person must choose his own
