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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Beware Of False Teachers And False Doctrine

The Bible is the most amazing book that has ever been written. Time after time, situations of life arise, and the Bible always has the answers that we need. With that being stated, I wonder just how often some people even read the Bible. I know that the masses of humanity are largely ignorant of

Scriptural Worship-Part Three

When addressing the church in Corinth, Paul made it clear how he felt about preaching. He stated, “For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. For the preaching of the cross is to them that
