Many “Christians” have drifted so far from God that they “cherry pick” through the scriptures and accept only the ones they like and ignore the rest. In their eyes this is okay because, after all, they still believe some of it so that keeps them in a safety zone, right? Wrong! The Bible is all or … Continue reading Cherry Pickers Will Choke on the Pits!
Truth or Comfort Zone
Much of “Christianity” today has digressed from a commitment to follow Christ to an “everything goes” attitude that gives false spiritual security. It’s a “new age religion” that says we can do our own thing and know that God loves and accepts each one of us just as we are now. It’s no wonder that this deception … Continue reading Truth or Comfort Zone
Endorsing Sin Brings Judgment
We read in the Old Testament that after Moses led the people out of Egypt, they began to engage in terrible acts of sin including idolatry, immorality, and murder. So, God gave Moses some laws known as the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20) to be used as a benchmark to govern the people so they would … Continue reading Endorsing Sin Brings Judgment
The Tragedy of the Missing Parachute
So often in life people take things for granted. Some assume that their way is the right way and they aren't willing to change and yet expect good results. Others know that they should act on certain issues now but they either, render a callous attitude and put it off until later, or do nothing … Continue reading The Tragedy of the Missing Parachute
Worthless Collectibles
One of the things that many of us in the civilized world pride ourselves in is our collection of worldly goods. Some of us have the funds to back our expensive material collections while others of us struggle to acquire even a few over a lifetime. But the fact is, most of us can look … Continue reading Worthless Collectibles
Old Testament Laws are not for Today
The Book of Law that God gave to Moses was God’s law for all mankind; a standard of living that ruled over the people so they could know the difference between right and wrong. But it’s being greatly challenged today. Much of the so-called “church” is modifying God’s laws to meet with their own modern-day … Continue reading Old Testament Laws are not for Today
How Will They Hear if we Don’t Tell Them?
This world is moving speedily toward its end and there is a lot going on around us that confirms things are changing—just as Jesus said they would in the last days. We are surrounded in escalating crime, horrendous acts of anti-Semitism, growing starvation and poverty, and uncontrollable immorality that is sponsored and promoted in every … Continue reading How Will They Hear if we Don’t Tell Them?
Spreading Rumors
Most of us enjoy talking and sharing with our family and friends, and it’s even normal for us to pour our heart out in anguish about a situation or person that has hurt and challenged us. We’re told in James 5:16 to share with each other so that we can pray for each other, and … Continue reading Spreading Rumors
Words Are Not Enough
It seems as if the world is becoming saturated with people proclaiming to be Christians. The sad news, though, is that not everyone who calls him or herself a Christian is one, and even many who are don’t show it. Being a Christian is more than speaking words; it’s putting words to action because words … Continue reading Words Are Not Enough
A Mother’s Day to Remember
Sowing Discord
Much of today’s Christian community has deviated from its origin and now consists of many man-made doctrines and ideals that have caused division in the church of Christ. One of the greatest deceptions to circulate the globe is the concept that we are all one in Christ regardless of how much of the Bible we … Continue reading Sowing Discord
Batteries Not Included
It is truly wonderful when someone accepts the Lord as their Savior and gives up their old way of life to follow Jesus. The Bible says in Luke 15:10 that the angels rejoice in Heaven over every new believer, so this is really a special event. Why then, do many new believers fall back into the … Continue reading Batteries Not Included
Who Are You……Really?
It’s amazing how much we learn when we study the Bible and how some of the messages jump right out at us when we read with a hungry heart. The scriptures are God’s own inspired words that He’s given to us so we can learn about Him and become better disciples. As we study, our … Continue reading Who Are You……Really?
Walking a Thin Line
The earth is being filled with “Christians” as the day of Christ’s return draws near. Some of these people are genuine, born-again believers, but most of them don’t even know God. They are captivated by a doctrine that speaks of universal love and heavenly blessings. The gospel they learn from says they were … Continue reading Walking a Thin Line
Stop Pointing Fingers!
We’re living in an age when Christians are being persecuted for their faith by religious zealots. While the horrors of the Middle East are getting everyone’s attention, we need to bring our focus back a bit closer to home so we can see what’s happening here. Many Christians in America are being publically torn apart, criticized … Continue reading Stop Pointing Fingers!
The Humility of Prayer
As Christians, we all come to God in prayer with our needs and desires because we believe that He will deliver us from our sorrows, heal our bodies and bless us. Unfortunately, when some of us ask God for things, we are compelled to tell Him what to do and how to do it. … Continue reading The Humility of Prayer
Fooling Ourselves
It seems at times that our lives are never-ending battle grounds where we fight one trial after another. Sometimes we sit back and wonder just what is going on! As Christians, shouldn’t our lives just flow with ease and prosperity as some preachers proclaim it should? Are we missing something in our Christian walk … Continue reading Fooling Ourselves
The Object of the Cross
As Christians, we all know that Jesus is the Christ who came to take away the sins of the world. But did you know that salvation is not just a general observation— that it’s really personal? Did you know that YOU are the reason He came—and that YOU were the object of the cross? Jesus came … Continue reading The Object of the Cross
There Are No Shortcuts to the Cross
Our world is quickly racing toward convenience and short cuts in almost every facet of life. The things that used to require time and effort can now be accomplished online in seconds—things such as banking, paying bills, shopping, ordering a meal and even securing lucrative employment. These conveniences require little effort and almost no thought … Continue reading There Are No Shortcuts to the Cross
I’m Strongest When I’m Weak
There are many times when the trials and challenges of this life get us down and literally disable us from functioning with any clarity. We become tired and defeated because we are so weak.
