D. Elton Trueblood once said, “In our modern world, our real danger comes not from irreligion, but from mild religion.” There is a lot of truth in that statement. Yes, there are people in this world who have no real interest in God. However, what really hurts the cause of Christ today, are those who […]
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds (Heb 1:1-2). Having the written Word of God is a […]

When we obeyed the gospel of Christ, we became children of God. Membership in God’s family is a wonderful blessing that demonstrates how much God loves us. John wrote, “See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God…” (1 John 3:1). Now that we are […]
Godly fear simply has to do with giving God the respect and reverence that He deserves. Every Christian must possess it. It is not surprising, then, to read that the early church feared God.
