The Danger of Apathy

by Don Wright

Apathy is defined as “Lack of interest or concern, especially regarding matters of general importance or appeal; indifference. Lack of emotion or feeling; impassiveness” (The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language). Helen Keller once said, “We may have found a cure for most evils; but we have found no remedy for the worst of […]

Sin: What Is It?

by Don Wright

This past Friday, our brother in Christ, Mike Cathey, lost his life to the brutal addiction to drugs and alcohol. Mike fought that battle for years but simply was not able to defeat it. All we can do now is mourn, not only the loss of life, but more importantly, the loss of a precious […]

Whosoever

by Don Wright

John like to use the word “whosoever.” Here are some examples: 1 John 2:23 (NKJV) 23  Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also. To be without God is to be in a hopeless and spiritually lost state. It is to be in a […]

Now That Is a Scary Book

by Don Wright

Have you ever read a scary book? It is apparently quite enjoyable because many people read them. I’m not sure why scary books are such a big hit, but they always have been. Maybe it’s the suspense involved in not knowing what is going to happen next. Maybe it’s the rush experienced when one is […]

The Christian’s Hope

by Don Wright

I have often pointed out that living the life of a Christian is not always easy. We are always endangered by the assaults of Satan. Peter said, “…the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8). Furthermore, we are always under the pressure of giving in to materialism […]

The Resurrection of Christ

by Don Wright

There are those today, even in certain religious circles, who would deny the resurrection of Christ. The Jesus Seminar, a controversial group which is supposed to look at the New Testament historically, claims that there is no evidence that the resurrection of Christ really took place. They say the passages in the New Testament that […]

The Brevity of Life

by Don Wright

“Man, that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble” (Job 14:1). Time, as we know it, is running out for each one of us. Compared to eternity, our life is short. You get married and before you know it, you are celebrating your fiftieth marriage anniversary. You have children […]

Remarriage

by Don Wright

I recently read that the success rate in marriage today is about 25%. That means that 75% of marriages either end in divorce or are less than what God wants them to be. There are several different tragic storylines associated with this truth, but none more significant than the loss of souls. How are souls […]

The Armor of God

by Don Wright

As Christians we are involved in a war with the devil. The language of the New Testament affirms this to be true. Paul told Timothy that “No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier” (2 Timothy 2:4). All Christians […]

Rented Wedding Rings

by Don Wright

The divorce rate has gotten so out of hand in this country that there is a jewelry store in L.A. where you can actually rent wedding rings. The message is that your marriage is probably only temporary anyway, so why invest in a ring that you call your own. Just rent a ring and when […]
