A most interesting affirmation is made in 2 Corinthians 11:4.  The church of Christ in Corinth was being infiltrated by false teachers and even “false apostles,” who were likely Jews (cf. 11:22) trying to turn these Christians away from their allegiance to Christ Jesus.  Now, notice how they are described in verse 4:  “For if he who comes preaches another Jesus…” These…

We live in a world that prides itself in its subjectivism and relativism.  There are no hard-and-fast rules.  There are no absolutes truths.  There are no black-and-white decisions.  Every individual gets to freely choose his path and do whatever he deems to be acceptable and appropriate.  No one has the right to say what is right and what is wrong.  No one…

Go into any business and I suppose there are employees working for God and there are employees working for the devil.  Now, “God” and “the devil” are not used here to characterize the employer; for this article the employer is inconsequential.  I’m talking about whether the employees in a particular company work as a representative of God or work as a representative…

It has been taught by man for hundreds of years that babies are born totally depraved from God, having inherited the guilt of the sins of their parents, who inherited from their parents….who inherited it from Adam and Eve.  But, what does the Bible say?  Look at these verses. “Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall the…

A church group went on a tour of the “Holy Lands,” to see the cities, sights and places where Jesus lived while on this earth.  No doubt, the trip was a life-changing experience—the Bible stories really come alive when you’ve been there.  But, the highlight of their trip is when they got baptized in the Jordan River.  These church folks were baptized…

There is an expression used over 600 times in the Old Testament that deserves a look.  In the account of the flood, Genesis 7:17 states, “The waters increased and bore up the ark, and it rose high above the earth.”  The waters did not invent or create the ark, but they merely picked it up and carried it along for a while.…

A new study has been released from the National Center for Health Statistics, which reveals that couples who live together before they get married are less likely to stay married than those couples who do not live together first.  Isn’t that great!  I love it when a survey or study proves what I want it to prove! But, let’s remember – human…

The tree of life is spoken of in Genesis (chapters 2-3) and Revelation (chapters 2 & 22), with obvious reference to the tree that was in the Garden of Eden and the tree in the Paradise of God.  But, in the heart of our Bibles mention is made four times of a tree of life.  Notice the difference?  There is the tree…
