A sign by the road with some of the ten commandments

A large problem that exists in the religious world is what we should do about the Old Testament. There are some who believe that it’s correct to still use the Old Testament as our modern day standard bearer. Then there are some who believe that the Old Testament is no longer valid today, and

Profoundly Simple

To have sat at the feet of Jesus, and to have heard Him teach, would have been a life changing event. Our Lord had a way of teaching that was different from every other person’s. On one occasion, certain officers who were charged with taking Jesus into custody acknowledged that “Never man spake like this

With Much Contention

It is no secret. There are many opponents of Christians, and Christianity in general. By inspiration, Paul affirmed, “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution” (2 Tim 3:12).

I imagine that many of the ones that will read this article have heard something similar to the following: “You are not my judge”, or “We are not to judge”. Sadly, this exposes the ignorance of many of those who say such

The Coming Of The Kingdom

A beam of light coming from the heavens and shining on water.

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
