Love God,
Hate Church
If anyone hates the
Lord's church, then he needs to listen to what God has said and believe
what He has said.
Why Go to Worship?
The main reason we go to church for every service is so that we do not
die spiritually.
The Grass is Always Greener
There is a great temptation to spend too much time wishing for another
life that we don't take advantage of the one we have. Paul said,
"...for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content" (Phil.
4:11).
Have You
Heard?
This group occupies a unique and enviable
position, indeed! It is a position based upon and produced by the
infallible Word of God. This group does not occupy this position merely
as their opinion but because the Word of God tells them and all others
to do so. Wouldn't you like to do the same?
Kindness is from the Heart
God is willing and wants to forgive us as
we stumble through our walk of life, but we must be willing to forgive
others first (Matt 6:14-15).
Miracles and Their Purposes
One who studies and understands the
scriptures knows that the miracles that existed during the early days of
Christianity would not always exist and they would be done away with.
Awakening
God has been trying passionately to awaken us. He has provided the cure.
He has given His only begotten Son (Jno. 3:16) and accepted His
blood as the antidote. We can continue to live in darkness and sin or we
can come alive in the Light.
No Progress without Practice
It takes practice to make progress, and we
should not expect that to be any less true in spiritual matters than in
those of a worldly nature.
Seeking the Old Paths
It is true that something new is not automatically wrong, but
whatever is "new" should not diminish the practice of the ancient
faith.
Why We Cannot Ignore
Unfaithfulness to the Lord
No earthly family would ignore a member
walking away from the circle of love which binds a family together. Why
then, does it happen so frequently in the family of God?

The Law Against Spanking
Today, parents will need courage to stand
against ungodly laws that prohibit the God decreed law of training
children in the “nurture and admonition of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:4).
Healing Sick Marriages
Nursing an ailing marriage back to good
health is much harder than just putting it to death by means of a
divorce.
Why Do Marriages Fail?
"For I hate divorce," says the Lord,
the God of Israel, "and him who covers his garment with wrong," says the
Lord of hosts. "So take heed to your spirit that you do not deal
treacherously" (Malachi 2:16). I doubt many people take heed to what
the Lord says about divorce or there would not be so many today.

Why Did Jesus Come to Earth?
We see that only Jesus can give us life.
But not everyone can have this life that Jesus came to give. Only those
that do the will of the Father can receive it (Matthew 7:21). The
will of the Father is to listen to His Son Jesus (Matthew 17:5).
The Sinner's Prayer
While the above prayer is, indeed,
indicative of humility and contrition, the idea that one who is an alien
sinner can pray for forgiveness—with an inherent right to expect his
sins to be forgiven—is foreign to the New Testament.
Alter Your Direction
Our prayer for ourselves, and for the
church should be as Jesus prayed:
"Not my will, but Thine be done."
Spiritual
Feast
What if there were a source of food and
drink that forever satisfied your hunger? How valuable would that be to
you?
Keys
of the Kingdom
Inside the Bible there are
several keys which open (or close) doors important to us now and in the
judgment.
Using
WWJD to Beg
Often we find men seeking the blessings of
God’s name without the willingness to follow the commandments.

Social
Drinking
Question: When did the
evil steward begin beating the servants? Answer: with the first blow.
When did he begin eating? With the first bite. When did he begin to be
inebriated or drunk? Answer: With the first drink.
Sobriety
To be sober is to be free from any
intoxicant. Certainly, alcohol and drugs represent intoxicants, but,
power, fame, sex, money, and many other things can intoxicate people.
Anything that excites a person so that he constantly desires the same
form of excitement can intoxicate.
For They Shall See God
Wouldn't it be wonderful if people could see God by seeing us? That's
the way it's supposed to be. We are to take all of the characteristics
that have been revealed about our heavenly Father and make those a part
of our own character.
Suffering
The Bible reveals that the origin of
suffering is the consequence of the sin of Adam and Eve.
The Lord's Church is You
Your daily acts as a Christian preach more
sermons, teach more people, save more lives than the words that are
spoken inside the four walls of the church building.
