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 [...]

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

Sometimes, I read something in the Bible that, on first thought, doesn’t seem to make much sense. Has that ever happened to you? Well, when that happens, it is time to look deeper into the passage and to meditate upon what it is saying, because the Bible is not a book of confusion.
Take the story [...]

Well, that’s what we all want to know, isn’t it? Specifically, am I going to Heaven? Will anyone be lost? Could a good God let anyone go to Hell? These are all good questions, and there are Biblical answers to them. In spite of what some teach, not everybody will be saved. The Bible is [...]

To some, this is a big question. I, personally, love good music…or, at least, I love music that sounds good to me. But, you know, the Lord has an idea of what He likes, also. It is He Who decides what pleases Him, and what He want as part of our worship service. For example, [...]

Today, we don’t seem to like people who give commands. Suggestions are all right, but don’t tell me what to do. Right? Well, it seems to me that Jesus offered very few suggestions, and gave quite a few commands. In fact, I would seriously take anything the Master said as a command. So when I [...]

So live, that when thy summons comes to join
That innumerable caravan which moves
To that mysterious realm, where each shall take
His chamber in the silent hall of death,
Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at nigfht,
Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave
Like one who wraps the drapery of his [...]
