Did you ever use little wooden blocks when you were a kid to build things (maybe like a house)? Was there any difference in your construction project if you tried to build it on a hard floor (like tile) versus on the carpet? Of course there was! What if you tried to build it on the bed? That was even worse than the carpet! You learned as…

So much is going to happen on the day that Christ returns that it just thrills the soul to meditate upon it. Some early Christians became concerned that their brethren who had died before Christ returned were going to miss out somehow on Christ’s return (1 Thess. 4:13-15). The Scripture assures that the dead are certainly not going to miss anything on…
What would be the worst thing ever to have around your neck? In Matthew 18:6, Jesus talked about a person having “a millstone…hung around his neck.” These types of stones were so large that they had to be turned by a beast of burden, particularly a donkey or mule. Think about having that tied around your neck and thrown overboard “in the depth of the…
Luke’s account of the gospel gives us a glimpse into the discussion on the mount of transfiguration that we do not have in the other accounts. Moses and Elijah appeared with Jesus and “spoke of His decease which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem” (Luke 9:31).

There is much about that day which we do not know, but there is also much that we do know. Over these next several articles, let us…
A word that you’ve probably heard more often in recent years than in other parts of your life is the word “asymptomatic.” It is apparently possible for someone to have a virus but to not exhibit any symptoms, thus no one knows that the person is actually infected. Such a condition has made me wonder if there are not some asymptomatic Christians today. These…
Almost 600 times in the Bible, God uses the word “behold.” Most of the time we just run right through the word, but have you ever stopped to behold why God is saying “behold”? The word obviously involves seeing something or looking at something but often is a term of interjection regarding something remarkable. “Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a…
On January 7, 2022, a newborn baby was found still alive in a dumpster behind a shopping center in Hobbs, New Mexico. The baby was wrapped in a dirty towel and was inside two plastic bags with trash. The newborn baby boy (although it’s not clear if the baby had yet self-identified as a male) had been thrown in the dumpster six…
