In our advanced culture today, with all of the vast improvements we’ve made to society and life as a whole, it is a bit haunting to read what man used to be like. For example, consider this. At one time men “suppress[ed] the truth in unrighteousness…did not glorify [God] as God… became futile in their thoughts…changed the glory of the incorruptible God…

The death of big-time celebrities always grabs the headlines and grabs our attention, especially if the person was iconic in his/her field, a gifted entertainer and well-known by all ages. When this happens, we should be reminded of some important matters. We should be reminded that we ourselves will die one day, as that is appointed unto all (Heb. 9:27). We should…
We are all familiar with the concept of grace. Often defined as “unmerited favor,” when one is on the receiving end of grace, he receives favor (or a gift) which he does not deserve and has done nothing to earn.

One of the most amazing affirmations in the Bible is this statement—“God shows no partiality” (Acts 10:34). What a thought! What a wonderful and yet perplexing thought! This truth was not isolated to one time or one event in Scripture, but it is found throughout the Old and New Testaments (Deut. 10:17; 2 Chron. 19:7; Eph. 6:9; 1 Pet. 1:17). Paul not…

To all Bible Class Teachers, who teach our children week in and week out, we thank God for you! We thank God for Bible Class Teachers because…
Every Christian possesses and is sustained by hope. There is the “hope” of the resurrection from the dead (Acts 23:6; 1 Cor. 15). There is the “hope” of heaven (Col. 1:5; Heb. 6:19). There is the “hope” of eternal life (Tit. 1:2). There is the “hope” of brethren in the presence of Christ (1 Thess. 2:19). There is the “hope” of seeing…
Aren’t you glad that your God doesn’t condemn you and write you off completely when you make one mistake! Some people might think that of God, but that’s not how the Bible depicts our God! If God never gave second chances, then Jesus’ words about the “narrow way” would have read like this–“Difficult is the way which leads to life, and there…
It is so refreshing to go to a Christian college campus or a summer Bible camp, and to be immersed in a setting where it is not unusual (and even normal) to see someone reading his Bible, bowing his head in prayer, using his Bible in Bible classes and even taking notes for his own use and growth. Such an atmosphere inspires…
