Spiritual Worship-Part One

One of the most important things that a Christian can do is worship God.  Some might be confused with that statement due to the fact that someone else has taught them that everything we do is worship.  It is the intent of this article to show what worship is, and how worship is to be

The Church Of Christ

In a world where there is a “church” to suit every fancy and whim, I wholeheartedly affirm that I am not ashamed to be a part of the church of Christ.  Sadly, there are some in this world who think that I have the wrong point of view.  Let me take the time to supply

Seasoned With Salt

When studying the life of Jesus, it is beneficial to notice the different ways that He responded to various people and scenarios.  Each time, our Lord spoke and acted perfectly.  Take for instance, the discussion with the Samaritan woman at the well.  Jesus knew how to start a conversation by saying “Give me to drink”

Handle With Care

It is very clear that Paul loved the church in Corinth.  More than once, Paul did what he could to teach, encourage, and admonish those brethren.  When he did such, Paul was very careful that he did not rely on his own feelings and opinions.  Instead, Paul utilized the best resource that was available to

When God Shuts The Door

At different times, I, and others, have prayed to the Father for “doors” to be opened so that good works can be done.  Through His providence, God has done just that over the years.  However, we need to realize that the same God Who opens those “doors” is the same God Who can shut “doors”

The third chapter of Second Timothy is both revealing and depressing at the same time.  Please do not misunderstand me, I am not demeaning any part of the Word of God.  I am simply expressing how one can feel when he reads that chapter, and then compares it to the modern-day problems that exist.  Let

If

Words can be very powerful.  For instance, what enters your mind when someone says “love”?  Likewise, what enters your mind when someone says “hate”?  Each of these words can be used to convey different thoughts.  If not careful, one might misuse a word, and by so doing, cause many problems.  With that in mind, I

Read It To Me Again

When you were young, did you ever have a favorite “bedtime” story that you enjoyed.  Maybe it was about a knight and a princess, or perhaps it was about Jack and a beanstalk.  Whatever it might have been, did it seem like you ever tired of hearing it?  When your Mom and Dad read you

Calling Out False Teachers

From time to time, there are certain individuals who express a concern about identifying and exposing those who teach doctrines contrary to the Law of Christ.  Sometimes the thought might be that by doing such, matters might get worse.  While that may seem true in the immediate future, we must never stop taking a stand

Justice And Vengeance

No matter how many times I read it, the Sermon on the Mount is still so powerful and useful.  Whether it is the beatitudes at the beginning, or “the wise man building his house on the rock” at the end, the Sermon on the Mount still stands as a masterpiece.  Let us take the opportunity
