Sometimes we tend to categorize sin. Fornication, adultery, stealing and the like, we consider to be very serious. However, sins such as lying are dismissed with little thought. The fact is God abhors all sin (Psalms 5:4-5), and lying is no exemption. It was that form of sin that Satan used to entice Eve in […]
Reminiscing is something we all do from time to time. I sometimes remember that Whitney, even when she was as old as twenty-five, loved to climb into our bed when Janice and I were watching TV and watch it with us. The problem was she would usually do it late at night when I was […]
It took twisted minds and unjust judgment to crucify the Son of God. On the day of Pentecost, as Peter spoke to a massive crowd of Israelites, gathered at Jerusalem for the annual feast, he proclaimed, “Ye men of Israel hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles […]
We need one another in Christ. We should not be islands unto ourselves as Christians, especially those of us who have agreed to work together in a local church. We should not travel through life alone for we are members of the greatest family in the world, that is, the family of God (Ephesians 3:14, […]

Jesus said, “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul” (Matthew 16:26). Is your soul for sale? The Devil would like it to be. He will give you anything within his power for it. […]
Buff Scott was the editor of a little paper called “The Reformer.” He was a militant liberal who made it his life’s work to attack churches of Christ that do not use musical instruments in their public worship services. On several occasions, he indicated that we are a cult, or at least that we have […]
We are living in an ever-changing world. The older among us will testify of the changes that have transformed our society. The cost of living has greatly increased, as well as the wages a man receives for a day’s work. Negative things such as crime and drugs are on the rise year by year. Morals […]
