The Coming Harvest

For those who know me best, they will readily affirm that autumn/fall is my favorite time of the year.  I love to see the changing of the leaves and to feel the cooler temperatures.  While those things are nice to enjoy, there is something else that happens during that time of year that makes that

Whose Are You?

Have you ever noticed that human beings can sometimes make things more complicated than they should be?  Take for instance, the length of many contracts and “terms and conditions”.  It is absolutely ridiculous that it takes so many words and legal terminology to come to a mutual agreement!  After all, Jesus said, “Again, ye have

Jesus-Our High Priest

It is widely known that Jesus is the Savior of mankind.  Likewise, many individuals recognize that Jesus is “…the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords” (1 Tim. 6:15).  However, not as many may know that Jesus is also the High Priest under the New Covenant.  In order for us

Rejoice And Weep

The life of a Christian is multifaceted.  There are numerous things that must be incorporated into that life in order to be pleasing to God.  Two of those things are the need to rejoice and the need to weep.  Paul wrote to the church in Rome, “Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with

The Lord Stood With Me

Sometimes fighting the good fight of faith can seem like a lonely war.  Considering that the “few” are the ones that are saved, that means that the “many” are not on the side of righteousness (Matt. 7:13-14).  In other words, Christians are greatly outnumbered by those in the world.  Unless one has the proper perspective

Yet They Believed Not

The lack of faith that exists in the world is truly tragic.  Many go about their daily lives convinced that God is not real, and that Jesus never really rose from the dead.  Keep in mind that there is ample evidence to support one’s faith because God has supplied it.  The Hebrews’ writer declared, “Now

Peter’s Practical Points

The books of Proverbs and James have been rightfully lauded for their practicality.  Many of the truths contained in those writings are useful in everyday aspects of life.  However, Proverbs and James are not the only inspired writings that help in such ways.  For instance, the apostle Peter wrote what we call “general epistles” to

Child of God or Child of the Devil?

Amidst all of the confusion and noise that this world has, you might be surprised to realize how simple some things really are.  Take for instance, the world’s population is close to eight billion now.  Yet, all of those people can be classified into one of two categories.  The first category is a child of

Enduring Temptation

Some individuals may have the mistaken notion that being tempted is equal to committing sin.  The Bible plainly teaches otherwise.  In the letter written by James, it is stated, “Blessed is the man that endureth temptation:  for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them

Not As Uncertainly

Have you ever wondered whether all of your faithfulness is really worth it?  Have the seeds of doubt entered into your mind?  More than likely you are not alone in your thoughts.  At some time or other, the Christian is going to notice that he is abstaining from sinful things while non-Christians revel in worldly
