We hear a lot of talk today about “Wall Street and Main Street.”  Especially in the political world, we hear about the emphasis that many “politicians” put on “Wall Street” and the impact that has on “Main Street.”  Then, we hear of politicians who say they are focused on “Main Street” and say that “Wall Street” will follow the successes of “Main…

How much do you KNOW about the love of Christ?  “Jesus loves me, this I KNOW, for the Bible tells me so!”  If you know He loves you, how much do you KNOW about that love?  “Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us” (Eph. 5:2).  If you know His love prompted Him to give Himself for you and me,…

On the surface, one would definitely think that serpents and doves can have no fellowship whatsoever.  However, Jesus used these two creatures to illustrate two character traits that needed to be possessed by His apostles then and are needed by all Christians today. “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves” (Matt. 10:16a).  As a Christian, do you…
