Every Christian should strive to be a fisher of men. Jesus said to Peter and Andrew, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:19). We sometimes sing the song, “I Want to Be A Soul Winner.” The first verse goes like this: “I want to be a soul winner for Jesus […]
That the New Testament records miraculous signs and wonders performed by Chris-tians, who were under the influence of the Spirit, there can be no doubt. Miracles were very prevalent in apostolic times. God even foretold this by His Old Testament prophets (Joel 2:28-30). Peter referred to the miraculous events of Acts 2 as a fulfillment […]
In 1 Corinthians 2:14 Paul said, “The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.” This verse has been misinterpreted for many years to teach that one cannot develop faith in God […]

By Hiram Hutto November 4, 2018 Once while two Christians were discussing a Bible subject, one of them asked, “What do the authorities say about it?” No doubt he had in mind such things as lexicons, Bible dictionaries, historic, and geographic. Yet I feel that sometimes (though not with the one who raised the question) […]
Perhaps not all of us can teach a class, but there are a number of ways in which we can help those who do teach and make our Bible classes of greater profit. Here is a list of some things you can do: 1. ATTEND EVERY BIBLE STUDY. These periods of study will make both […]
