The Bible Says That Global Warming Will Destroy the Earth

There is a lot of talk today about so-called “global warming,” or as it seems to be called these days, “climate change.”  For some people, it has become a religion that involves, essentially, worshiping the earth.  Most folks, it would seem, have accepted the premise of “global warming” or “climate change,” without actually examining the evidence themselves.  It is reminiscent of the…

I Am the God of Abraham

The faith of Abraham is emphasized throughout the Bible. You cannot think of this great man without marveling how his faith impacted every decision of his life. We have faith because we read the Bible (Rom. 10:17), but Abraham did not have one! Yet look at how God had revealed Himself to this “father of the faithful” and given him the depth…

“You Are Mistaken, Not Knowing the Scriptures”

The Pharisees and Sadducees were the two major Jewish sects during the lifetime of Jesus.  The Sadducees were more inclined toward the political matters of the day than they were the law of God (to which some Christians ought to take note today), but to their credit (at least in this small point), they followed a strict interpretation of the Pentateuch, as…

18 Ways to “Build Up” One Another in Worship Assemblies

There is no better day of the week than the first day of the week!  There is no greater blessing and privilege on the first day of the week than to worship the God of all creation, our heavenly Father!  And the New Testament emphasizes that this wonderful opportunity takes place when “the church” “comes together” each Lord’s day (1 Cor. 11:17,…

Lifeless Idols or a Living God

The psalmist said of idols, “They have mouths, but they do not speak; Eyes they have, but they do not see; They have ears, but they do not hear; Noses they have, but they do not smell; They have hands, but they do not handle; Feet they have, but they do not walk; Nor do they mutter through their throat” (Psa. 115:4-7).
