The aim of the Christian is very important.  It will determine which direction he goes as he travels through life.  If he has no real aim, he will eventually start to travel in the wrong direction, away from God, instead of nearer to Him.  If a Christian has a particular aim in life, one that […]

No one has forgiven more trespasses and sins than our heavenly Father.  His willingness to forgive accentuates His merciful nature and long-suffering when it comes to His dealings with us.  As long as our repentance is sincere after we sin, and we ask God for forgiveness, He will indeed forgive us. 1 John 1:9 (ESV) […]

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

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 […]

Fraternities and Sororities have been around for a long time.  Phi Beta Kappa Society was founded on December 5, 1776, at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, and was the first fraternal organization in the United States of America.  There were many more such societies to follow.  On December 4, 1906, Alpha […]

How are souls […]

Article written by Jimmy Fields From the beginning, God’s plan for His creation has been one man and one woman for life (Genesis 2:24).  Just for a minute, I would like for us to look at two aspects of dating—the world’s view and the Christian’s view. Dating, as defined by Google: “The period where two […]

The Brown Street church of Christ is what brethren refer to as a non-institutional church.  What that means is that we oppose human organizations doing the work that God gave to the church, specifically, that is, to individuals who make up the universal church and to local churches made up of individual Christians.  There has […]

One of the most erroneous doctrines taught by man is that it is impossible to fall from grace.  We sometimes refer to this as the “once saved, always saved” doctrine.  Those who believe it are Calvinists and refer to it as the “perseverance of the saints,” the “P” in the TULIP acronym representing the five […]

“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 wedding anniversary.  You have children, […]
