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

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,

Our Influence

I have no idea who was the first to say it, but I am sure that many of us have heard it said, “You may be the only Bible that some people will ever read.”  The idea behind that saying is that most folks will not read their actual Bibles, but they will notice how

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). 

Burden Bearing

Contrary to what some have said, the Bible does not contradict Itself.  The beauty and the wonder of the Bible’s accuracy is truly something to behold.  However, there are times that some opponents and skeptics will present what they believe to be evidence of contradiction.  Take for example two particular verses in Galatians chapter six. 

Who Is My Neighbor?

Interaction with others is essential to being a Christian.  After all, how are we going to be “the light of the world” and “the salt of the earth” if we never interact with the people around us (Matt. 5:13-16)?  The apostle Paul knew this to be true, for it is recorded, “I wrote unto you

The Parable Of The Sower

It is clear from Scripture that Christians are commanded to evangelize those around us.  Jesus explicitly stated, “…Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15).  However, as we go about doing such, we would be wise to learn that not every person will react identically to another.  To

Scriptural Worship-Part Four

In no way should The Lord’s Supper become a common meal.  Apparently, that is what happened amongst the congregation in Corinth.  Some members of the congregation were not observing the memorial appropriately.  The brethren there were told, “When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord’s supper.  For in

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
