The Two Greatest Commandments

Let me begin by stating that all of the Word of God is needed and great.  Acknowledging such, Paul wrote, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:  That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works”

The Lamb’s Book Of Life

I have to admit, it would have been amazing to be able to perform miraculous deeds in the first century.  In particular, what a great feeling it would have been to be able to take a sick individual and heal him of his sickness.  That is exactly what seventy individuals were allowed to do.  Luke

Faith Plus Works

            Amongst many in the religious world, there is the idea that man need only have faith in order to please God.  Certainly, faith is necessary in the life of a child of God.  The writer of Hebrews stated, “But without faith it is impossible to please him:  for he that cometh to God must

Never Stop Confessing Christ

A true child of God cannot keep his faith a secret.  Regardless of the scenario, the Christian must be willing to acknowledge openly his confidence in Christ.  This is explicitly taught in different verses in the Bible.  First of all, consider what Jesus said.  “Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess

Making An Apostle Marvel

Have you ever been astonished when you learned something?  Did you struggle with what to say?  Maybe it was due to joy because the news was so wonderful.  Perhaps the news was so sad that you were left deflated.  The apostle Paul had a similar occurrence during his lifetime.  After much good had been accomplished

Finally…

After having covered different topics, the apostle Peter began to bring to a close the letter that we call First Peter. Peter encouraged, “Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing

Proverbial Learning
