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 [...]

I had told you about my teacher whom I did not like, and what she had taught me (“My Body Is a Temple”). There is another lesson I remember from her that I will share with you.
We sing a song that talks about time:
Time is filled with swift transition.
Naught of earth unmoved can stand.
Build your [...]

You know, it really is funny the things you remember. When I was in the second grade, I had a teacher with whom I formed a mutual dislike attraction…I could not stand the woman, and she heartily returned the emotion. But, you know, she really did teach me a few thngs. This was a public [...]

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?

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” [...]

You may be wondering that very question. There are many ways to do it, but it’s important that you donate your time or money to a reputable source. For a few related ideas, see today’s post (and the associated comments) from the Southern Hills Church of Christ blog.
