The Change That Really Matters

Our society seems to love the notion of “change”. It is a political rallying cry and a social conditioning tool. We must come to understand that not all “change” is a good thing. Much of the “change” that is encouraged today is contrary to the will of God. People have become so brazen as to

Do We Really Understand Sacrifice?

Jesus is the perfect example of what it means to sacrifice. Instead of living as many men, Jesus was committed to living a life in accordance with the will of God. Before His arrest, Jesus prayed, “…Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will,

Consistency

The enormous amount of different doctrines and beliefs causes much confusion and uncertainty. It is not far-fetched to think that one who is searching for the truth could visit with two different groups, on two consecutive Sundays, and be taught conflicting and contradictory things. What a tragedy! In very simple terms, it should have never

Are You Sure That You Are Saved?

Many sermons and articles have been preached and written to instruct a sinner on how he can be saved. God’s plan of salvation is clearly revealed in the New Testament. If an accountable person hears the Word of God, believes Jesus is the Son of God, repents of past sins, confesses that Jesus is the

Fully Persuaded

Are you confident that God will bring to pass what He has said? Is there any doubt in your mind? What about your sins being forgiven? What about Jesus returning? Will we really be judged? Just how sure are you? I want to encourage you to have no doubt whatsoever! God is trustworthy, regardless

My Thoughts Are Not Your Thoughts

Man should be careful not to believe that he is on the same intellectual level as God. While there have been some great minds throughout history, none can begin to equal the infinite knowledge that God possesses. It is correct to say that God is omniscient. That simply means that God is all-knowing, and that

Three Times

I would like to believe that no matter what man does to me, I will not deny that I know Jesus. I imagine that is how Peter must have felt at one time too. However, Jesus knew better. Before His crucifixion, Jesus explained to Simon Peter, “…behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he

Christ, Our Life

I am deeply concerned that some do not understand the dedication that it takes to be a faithful servant of Christ. It is the Lord, Who said, “…If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me” (Luke 9:23). Self-denial is an absolute necessity for

Risen With Christ

Once an individual obeys the Gospel, he is added by the Lord to His church (Acts 2:47). It is at that point that the man’s life is forever changed. Yes, he enjoys all of the spiritual blessings that are in Christ, but there is more to the life of a child of God (Eph. 1:3).

A Woman Taken In Adultery

It is truly a blessing to have copies of the Bible that we can read and study. In the Word of God, we are told of many different things that have happened over the history of mankind. Some of those things are great accomplishments, while others are terrible failures. When Jesus was alive on the
