So, apparently today is “A Day Without a Woman.” As I understand it (and I could be mistaken), this is an organized opportunity for women around the country to strike, participating in gender equality demonstrations and letting others know what it is like to have “a day without a woman.” Since Adam could not live a day without a woman, it is…

I make mistakes. I mess up. I sin and fall short of the glory of God. I make choices that disappoint God and separate me from Him. I’m not perfect! I’m about as far from perfect as it is possible to be! But, I am perfect! “What!? You just said that you are not perfect! How can you then say that you…
So, your friend invited you to come to the church of Christ for a worship service. Or, maybe you were surfing the web and came across a site for the church of Christ. Or, maybe you saw a building with the words “Church of Christ” on a sign in the front yard. And maybe you’re wondering, “Why should I look at the…
How big (or little) are you in YOUR OWN eyes? How do you see yourself compared to God? In First Samuel 15, the Lord told King Saul, “Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and do not spare them” (15:3). “But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep, the oxen, the fatlings,…

Here is a nation that has been engaged in a horrific civil war for more than five years, which has claimed the lives of more than 250,000 people. Whatever the cause of this violence and however…
Faithful Christians are responsible for standing for truth (Eph. 6:10-14) and giving an answer to questions that are asked (1 Pet. 3:15). It is truly amazing how God supplied the answers in His Word (cf. 2 Pet. 1:3; 2 Tim. 3:16-17), even before many of the answers were ever needed. Consider this. Which of the apostles was married? Was James? John? Matthew?…
Surely there’s nothing wrong with it, right? A customer in a restaurant with self-service fountain drinks asks the cashier for a water cup. A small (maybe 9 oz.), translucent cup is handed to the “customer,” so that he can dispense some drinking water into his free water cup. The customer then makes his way to the dispenser and proceeds to make another…
