Grievous Wolves

I would like to be able to write that all men have a love for the Lord, His Word, and His church. However, that would not be true. There are many enemies of the cross. Some are blatant and obvious in their ways, while others are more subtle and deceptive. Regardless, these individuals are very

Learning From Judah’s Mistakes

It has rightfully been said that “if we do not learn from our mistakes, then we are doomed to repeat them”. While that is true in our individual lives, it can also be seen from the perspective of society. God has allowed the preservation of the Old Testament so that we learn from the examples

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

The Last Days

When some read the title of this article, they may have a misunderstanding. It is quite possible that many will think that I am referring to the immediate days prior to the Lord’s return. However, that is not completely accurate. On different occasions, the Bible has references to the “last days”, and we should diligently

God’s Son, A Servant

As the Bible records, God has only one begotten Son, and that is Jesus the Christ (John 3:16). Before being born into this world, Jesus was known as the Word (John 1:1-3). The Word, along with the Father and the Holy Spirit, is Deity. That means that Jesus has all of the qualities of God.

His Word

Taking the time to study the lessons that Jesus taught is a worthwhile endeavor. The student will truly be learning from the Master. With that being the case, it may seem hard to imagine that individuals could have heard Jesus teach and still rejected Him and His Word. On one occasion Jesus taught, “I know

A Look At Love

It is a fact that one of the most important things that should exist in a Christian’s life is love. Over and over this precept is taught throughout God’s Word. It has even been noted that the Bible is a book about God’s love for us. Some of the most well known verses of Scripture

The Wheat And The Tares

A faithful student of the Bible should know that parables were a useful way of teaching important lessons. Our Lord utilized this method of teaching numerous times. On one occasion, Jesus taught, “…The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came

And Such Were Some Of You

The first century congregation in Corinth was inundated with various problems.  Division, fornication, and scruples were just some of the issues that Paul addressed in his writings.  Yet, even though there was room for much needed growth, Paul did mention some things that the congregation had in its favor.  The apostle wrote, “Know ye not

Lord, Are There Few That Be Saved?

    While working during His earthly ministry, Jesus was asked a question that might have crossed your mind at some time.  “Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved…” (Luke 13:23)?  It has been the concern of many whether or not they will get to Heaven.  The answer that Jesus
