The desire of every child of God should be religious unity.  “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity” (Psalms 133:1).  In John 17:20-22, Jesus prayed that His disciples would be one even as He was one with the Father.  In 1 Corinthians 1:10, Paul exhorted the brethren […]

God is a loving heavenly Father to those who obey the gospel of Christ.  One of the greatest promises God ever made is found in 2 Corinthians 6. 2 Corinthians 6:17–18 (ESV) 17 Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will […]

To many people, there is a blurred line between right and wrong.  What is right and wrong is determined by feelings and other subjective standards, making the identification of things right and wrong nearly, if not altogether, impossible.  Many religious beliefs and unauthorized practices occur because churches do what “feels” right instead of what is […]

The power of God unto salvation is the gospel of Christ (Romans 1:16).  Sadly, the gospel can be preached so as not to allow its converting power to take effect.  How can a preacher preach in such a way that will most likely not convert anyone?  Let us look at a few suggestions. Preaching that […]

Lately, it seems as if many ultra-liberal thinkers in religious matters have attacked the slogan, “Speak where the Bible speaks, and remain silent where the Bible is silent.”  One man said about the above statement, “Though well-intentioned, this slogan has caused many to view the New Testament writings through legalistic lenses…” I might say in […]

In the eighteenth chapter of the book of Acts, we find Paul preaching the gospel to the citizens of Corinth.  While Paul had some success at Corinth, establishing a local church at that location, some rejected the gospel.  In Acts 18:6, Luke refers to those who rejected Paul’s inspired words in an interesting way.  He […]

Regardless of what we do in life, how hard we serve God, or how many good works we amass, we cannot earn our way to heaven.  If there is something that we can all agree on, it is this—“we are saved by grace.”  As a result of this fact, we have no right to boast […]

The liberal media loves to use the terms anti-LGBTQ and anti-gay.  They love the term “anti” because of the negative connotations it gives, nothing new to those of us who are conservative Christians.  It is not just the media though.  All pro-homosexual advocates label those of us who oppose such a lifestyle as being anti-something.  […]

As Christians, there are some things that we must do for ourselves.  Paul once said, “For every man shall bear his own burden” (Galatians 6:5).  We took on certain obligations and responsibilities when we obeyed the gospel, and we alone can meet them. This being said, most of the commandments that we receive from God […]
