We are living in a time when so many things are being cancelled—sporting events, church events, political events, school events, etc. Is it possible that we have allowed the cancelling of so much around us to cause us to cancel our daily actions as a Christian? Is there any reason that our conduct as a child of God should have taken a break during…

Some people wonder today how long God is going to allow the earth to still stand. Some people wonder why God hasn’t destroyed America yet. Some people wonder how long the patience of God can hold out while sin is running rampant all over the globe. In Genesis 6, “the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and…

The very folks who should have been expecting the coming of Christ and welcomed Him with open arms into their lives and into their homes actually rejected Him. However, it is interesting to see the response that some Gentiles had to our Savior.  In Luke 7, a Gentile centurion “heard about Jesus” and pleaded “with Him to come and heal his servant” (7:3). When…

God is all-powerful! When it came to His creation, He could have created you/me/us/mankind in any image that He wanted! He could have made us in the image of the llama or the monkey. But, He didn’t! He could have made everyone in the image of Shaquille O’Neal or Jennifer Lopez. But, He didn’t! He could have made everyone in the image of your second-grade teacher or your…

Would that also work and be…

When we read about Joseph being mistreated by his brothers, we see a man who made the best of a bad situation. When we read about Moses dealing with a nation of complainers, we see a man who made the best of a bad situation. When we read about Elijah facing loneliness and despair, we see a man who made the best of a…

The New Testament places a great emphasis on both what we say and what we do. It is essential for Christians to “talk the talk,” and thus tell others of Jesus Christ and what the gospel requires of them. But, it is equally essential for Christians to “walk the walk,” and thus allow others to see them actually doing those things about which they…

What kind of Christian are you? Once you answer that question, would you ever be able to say to someone else, “I wish you were the kind of Christian that I am”? That may sound bold, but it is precisely what God desires for us to be able to do. Consider the exchange between King Agrippa and the apostle Paul in Acts 26. As was…
