  • Faith Comes By Hearing

    As Christians, we all have faith in Jesus Christ.  How did you come by your faith?  Romans 10:17 “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”  Someone had to tell you about Jesus and share with you the word of God.  It could have been your parents or a friend […]

  • Redeeming The Time

    There are a number of ways that can describe how an individual lives his or her life.  Some live their life carefree, in pleasure and fun.  Some live their life in pursuit of money and possessions. Some live unproductive lives, trying to avoid responsibility.  Some live their life filled with worry and anxiety about the […]

  • Obey The Gospel

    The following scriptures have one thing in common.  Romans 10:16 “But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, ‘Lord, who has believed our report?’” 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9  “And to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire […]

  • No Fellowship With Darkness

    Ephesians 5:8-11 “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.   And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.”  […]

  • God Knows The Future

    Consider this description of our God:  Romans 4:17b “God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did.” Not only is God the only one who has the power to give life to the dead, He is also the only one who “calls those things which […]

  • Resurrection From The Dead

    Consider this description of our God:  Rom 4:17b “God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did.” God is the only one who can give life to the dead.  We have several instances in the Bible of individuals coming back to life.  In 1 Kings […]

  • But Rather Giving Of Thanks

    Is God interested in the words that come out of our mouths?  Yes, very much so!  As we associate with people of the world, we may hear cursing, swearing, bad language, boasting, foolishness, jesting, gossip, hurtful words and so forth.  There should be a great difference between what comes out of Christian’s mouths as opposed […]

  • Their Own Righteousness

    The following was written by the Apostle Paul about the Jews.  Romans 10:2-3 “For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.  For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.”  The Jews sought […]

  • Imitating God – Godliness

    Ephesians 5:1 “Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.”  Young children learn by imitating their parents.  We learn how to walk, how to talk, how to use a fork or spoon, and many other things by seeing and hearing our parents do these things.  Yes, there may be instruction from our parents and that […]

  • Call On The Name Of The Lord

    Romans 10:13-15  “For ‘Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’  How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they […]
