I am confident that everyone is aware of the revelation of the adulterous life of one of America’s best known golfers. We probably should not be overly surprised about his sin, for this is just a continuation of the wave of immorality sweeping our land. Our governors, senators, representatives and presidents have lost their way, and it seems there is a daily…

I cannot vouch for this story, but it has been around for a long time. It seemed no one could believe what had happened, so they began to find out the details. They asked the pigmy, “How did you eat an entire elephant?” His answer startled many, but there is so much truth in it. He said, “One bite at a time.”…

On the first day of each week, Christians have the awesome privilege, as the focal point of our worship assemblies, to spend time reflecting on what our Savior did on our behalf.  When He instituted the Lord’s Supper, Jesus gave these instructions—“Do this in remembrance of Me” (Luke 22:19). Christians have used various “methods” over the years to help them focus their…

Flying up to the Freed-Hardeman Lectures and sitting next to a young couple, I could tell they were a “couple” (and not brother and sister) by the way they were acting and talking to each other.  It was only a 50-minute flight, but I learned a lot about this couple.

As strange as it may seem it is often found among many Christians today. John chapter four…

The simple definition of a habit is “an action which is repeated often until it is the natural behavior in one’s life.” There are those habits which are good, those which are neutral and those which hinder us in our development. Think of the power of habitually doing that which is right, almost without thinking, because we have trained ourselves to always…

Why do churches of Christ sing a cappella in their worship?  Is it because they have always done it that way and, rooted in their tradition, they are unwilling to change?  Or, is it because they are rooted in the teachings of Scripture? Why do churches of Christ require immersion in water of a penitent believer in order to accept someone is…

When the Mission Sunday contribution was displayed on the screen at the end of our worship, there was a collective gasp of overwhelming joy, mutual accomplishment and calming excitement.  In the tremendous financial stresses under which we are living, expectations about Mission Sunday were uncertain, to say the least.  As such, the contribution amount displayed much more than a number of dollars…
