Welcome to the Brown Street church of Christ Blog
The title of this blog might sound like a man-made philosophy that involves some type of reincarnation. The truth is, however, it is a biblical truth that is not referring to physical death and life. This is how Paul put it. Romans 6:8 (ESV) 8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that […]
Sometimes good things are highjacked by misinformed people and used incorrectly. For example, the name “Church of God” is a perfectly scriptural name for a church to wear since the New Testament church was sometimes referred to as such (1 Corinthian 1:2); however, a man-made, denominational church has highjacked the name and so, even though […]
The Bible clearly teaches that we will be judged by the life that we live. We all will have to answer for our actions. Paul made this abundantly clear. 2 Corinthians 5:10 (ESV) 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for […]
We have many great examples of faith in the Bible, but the example of Enoch may not be one of the first that comes to mind. After all, he occupies very little space on the pages of inspiration. Still, Enoch is a powerful example of faith, making it onto the great list of godly men […]
If you ever hear the words, “don’t move,” especially if they are shouted, your first reaction would probably be that of alarm. One might hear those words when he is on the wrong side of a pointed gun, or, perhaps, when you are close to something dangerous (like a poisonous snake) and your only chance […]
The possibility of a child of God drifting away from Him and, therefore, falling from grace, is real. The Hebrews writer warns us about this danger. Hebrews 2:1 (ESV) 1 Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. While we are all susceptible to drifting, […]
The God we serve is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. That means that He is all-powerful, all-knowing, and everywhere in presence. A being like that is beyond our ability to completely comprehend, but it does tell us that when He speaks, we better listen, when He commands, we better obey, and when He instructs, we better […]
While some things are seasonal (fruit, colors, and your favorite sport), other things are going on all year long. As Christians, some things should be going on in our lives year-round as well. They are things that we should be doing all the time. One of those things is trusting God. In Psalms 62, David […]
The power of the gospel is amazing. It can transform the greatest sinner into a loyal follower of Christ. No example of conversion is greater than that of Saul of Tarsus being converted into Paul, the apostle. To be fair, however, he was helped by seeing the glorified Christ on the road to Damascus (Acts […]
Bible believers believe in hell. There may be some disputing about exactly what hell is going to be like, but the reality of it is never called into question by those who truly believe that the Bible is God’s inspired Word. This is because the Bible is so direct and clear about there being an […]
