There is much diversity today concerning the Lord’s Supper, or Communion. Really, there should not be. The Bible teaching is plain. If three different groups practice taking the Lord’s Supper in three different ways, they cannot all be doing it correctly. Therefore, we need to carefully examine the Scriptures to see what God has told [...]

That is a very important question, isn’t it? I constantly hear people say, “Well, you need to pray about that,” or “Just pray for what you need.” There is no doubt at all that a Christian should do just that, but what about those who are not, in the strictest sense, Christians?
All blessings…forgiveness, sonship, eternal [...]

I recently heard a Christian say, “I cannot judge that. It is a sin for a Christian to judge anything.” You know, I went home and really thought about that. It sort of bothered me, yet I, too, remember Matthew 7:1. Did Jesus mean that we are never to judge anything wrong? If so, [...]

Well, let us examine the Bible teaching on that subject.
First of all, the Gospel was once preached to every nation under Heaven (Colossians 1:23), so nations now heathen once knew the truth but chose to forget it (Romans 1:18-24). Since they willingly gave up the knowledge of God and His Word, God, in turn, has [...]

Great! I congratulate you! But what are you sincere about? Are you sincere about the Word of God? Or are you sincere about what you want? I know there are some who believe that you are all right with God as long as you are sincere about what you believe. BUT…is that the truth? Let’s [...]

WRONG!!! I hasten to say, I am not gay. This is, instead, a comment heard in many pulpits, and among many circles. However, no matter who says it, it is emphatically wrong. I think we need to examine the issue on several fronts.
Homosexuality is evil, and is a sin. Many verses prove this: Romans 1:26-32, [...]

I am hearing things today that truly amaze me. I am hearing people say that there is no absolute truth. I am hearing that we cannot know for absolute certainty that any given thing is absolutely right or absolutely wrong. I am hearing that many, including those who claim to be Christians, no longer believe [...]

Some of you Twitter. Some of you probably don’t know what that is. (Twitter is a “mini-blog” service that lets you post status updates of 140 characters or less. Each one of these short status updates is called a tweet. Incidentally, the green “retweet” button you see on our posts lets you re-post — “re-tweet” [...]

Okay, I am a Christian. I really do try to live by the things taught in the New Testament. In Romans 13:8, Paul taught us that we are to “owe no man anything.” Am I sinning if I buy my car on time, or do not pay the complete price of my home when I [...]

Are there people in the world who teach things not in accordance with God’s will? Are there those who teach error that could cause one to be lost? Are there “false teachers” in the world today? Does it make any difference what we believe, as long as we are sincere in our belief? The answer [...]
