What Have You Done?

             In Genesis 3:13 we find the first question God ever asked a woman. “And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.” This question took place after Eve had eaten of the forbidden fruit and after

When The Church Pleases God

             As a student of the Bible, I must see all of what the Bible has to say on any subject. The “church” has many designations. Jesus said, “my church,” Matthew 16:18, “my kingdom,” Luke 22:30; John 8:38, “the Kingdom of heaven,” Matthew 16:19, and “the Kingdom of God, John 3:5; Luke 22:16. The apostles

Joy In Our Trials

            James writes to the “brethren” showing that we are part of God’s family here on earth. Cf. Ephesians 3:15. We become a part of the family of God when we obey the Gospel of Jesus Christ by hearing, Romans 10:17, believing, John 8:24, repenting, Acts 17:30, confessing Christ, Acts 8:37, and by being immersed

Overcoming Addiction

              Peter wrote, “These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in

Control Your Anger

            “Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil.” Ephesians 4:26, 27. In our daily living the Christian life, we are faced with becoming angry. We work long hours, and then we commute through terrible traffic to our homes in disarray. Even

Shaking Off The Vipers

As one follows Paul on his journey to Rome as a prisoner, they observe many things happening to him. There would be many trials awaiting him while in Rome. One must remember that we are told in Acts 27:22-25 that Paul was comforted by an angel in the storm and was told, “Fear not, Paul;

“Bible Scholars Disagree” Argument

            There has been a discussion on one of the groups of which I am a member about those who are departing from “the faith.” 1 Timothy 4:1. Some doctrinal issues have been discussed such as the 70 AD doctrine, divorce, premillennialism, and some others. One point was made about “Bible Scholars Disagree.” Their point was,

Why Fear?

Moses wrote in our text, “After these things the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.” Genesis 15:1. It is a fact that fears will spoil the New Year for many. Fear is common to all! Adam said, “I

A Christian Should Not – #3

As a Christian, I should not hate anyone. The Word of God says, “14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life

A Christian Should Not – #2

As a Christian, I should not be deceived. The Word of God says, “7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the
