As Dear Children

There is little in this world that can bring out the joy in a person’s heart quite like a little child. The Internet is inundated with videos of babies and toddlers doing sweet and funny things. I can remember when my daughter was little. Each day was special. Whether it was watching her play with

I Know Whom I Have Believed

When we go about making decisions in our lives, it is good to have confidence that we have made the right choices. That is certainly true when it comes to spiritual decisions. While there may be repercussions for making the wrong choices in secular matters, the consequence of making the wrong choices in spiritual matters

What’s In A Name?

There used to be a great deal of value placed on someone’s name. For instance, how many sons have wanted to live in such ways as to uphold their dad’s good name? The Bible records, “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold” (Prov.

Respect Of Persons

How do you think of yourself? Do you consider yourself a good model of what a Christian ought to be? Are you striving to live as the New Testament commands? What about how you think of other people? Are you constantly comparing the way that you act to how other people act? How about this?

Gifts That God Gave Man

I imagine that most of us enjoy receiving a gift from someone else. The fact that another thought so much of us as to spend his time and money makes us feel good inside. The gift might not be very consequential, but as the old saying goes, “it’s the thought that counts.” With all of

As a preacher of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, there comes a time when I must warn faithful brethren of the heresies, lies, errors, and such like that exist. It is not something that is done with a feeling of great joy. Instead, there is a sense of hurt and disappointment. I would rather be

Gender And Roles

We live in a time period where some in our society have tried to blur the lines between the genders that God created. Some have even gone so far as to advance the notion that there are more than two genders, and that they can be swapped at any given time. This has led to

Pattern Theology

When some read the title of this article, it is possible that they will instantly be opposed to the study at hand. The idea of “pattern theology” is nothing more than a flippant thing to some people. They seemingly have no use for it, and also seemingly ignore Biblical principles that teach the necessity of

War Has Been Declared

It certainly is appropriate to describe the life of a Christian as one that is involved in spiritual warfare. “This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare” (1 Tim. 1:18). By becoming a Christian, we chose

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 that 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 be
