In Hebrews 10:25, the writer warns us not to forsake our own assembling together as the custom of some is. The the writer continues to tell us why being in the assembly is vital: exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the day drawing nigh. Dear brother, do you know so [...]

Paul’s “Thorn in the Flesh”

doc — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 12:00:29 +0000

I have heard some really strange ideas on this topic…ranging from uncontrollable temper through fleshly desires and on to profound mental depression…any of which would be more than I would welcome. However, the inspired Scriptures do not exactly pinpoint what was Paul’s thorn in the flesh. So, I decided to examine the context and some [...]

Search the Scriptures

We all know we should spend more time in God’s Word. But why? Do we ever think about how we should study the Bible? I have a few thoughts on the subject that I would like to share with you. We should search them reverently. Psalm 19:8-11 teaches us that the Scriptures are just simply [...]

Do you ever wonder what to do with each day the Lord has given to you? Do you ever need a few hints on how to conduct a Christin day-to-day life? This post article is not full of Scripture, but it is full of ideas to help us all be closer to Jesus. Monday Wash [...]

Friends

We are told that Solomon was the wisest man who ever lived. I suppose that goes forward in time as well as backward. Therefore, we ought to be able to gain something from Solomon’s writings. Let us look at what he says about friends: He that maketh many firends doethit to his own destruction, but [...]

Escaping Temptation

We have all known people who thought that they were great. That is, they thought they were really nice people and that they were saved. They thought they were obedient to God. They thought they would be in Heaven. They thought…well, what does it matter what they thought? In reality, it matters not at all. What [...]

Railing

doc — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 12:00:19 +0000

But Michael, the Archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke thee.” But these rail at whatsoever things they know not; and what they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, in these things are they destroyed.

Christian Vigilance

doc — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 12:00:56 +0000

What does it mean to be vigilant? Does the Bible have any advice on vigilance? This is a subject we ought to look carefully upon, and meditate upon, because it will play a part in where we spend eternity. The American Standard version gives I Corinthians 16:13 as follows: Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, [...]

Moments in Life

Occasionally, it does no harm to have a “visiting author.” This was sent to me by a friend, Henry Davenport, and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did. His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us [...]

Are You Lonesome?

doc — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 12:00:16 +0000

You know, it really is surprising when and where you can get inspiration for a blog article. I was thinking of an old Elvis Presley song the other day, and a devotional by my friend, Henry, brought to mind just the thing I wanted to say to you this week. The lyrics of the Elvis [...]
