How to Conqeur the Stress and Insanity of Christmas Day

My wife and I raised three children and while it would be a stretch to say that we enjoyed every minute of it, we wouldn’t have changed anything. One thing that we did change was the stress, insanity and the overwhelming highs and lows of “Christmas Day”.

Is God a Democrat or Republican?

Election time is quickly approaching. Do you think that God has chosen one candidate over another? Do you think that God moves people to vote for a particular party? What is God’s idea of good government, anyway?

A Four Letter Word That the Foulest Mouth Will not Repeat

People talk about drunken sailors being the most foul-mouthed people in the world. I wouldn’t know, I’ve never been a drunken sailor nor have I met one. But I do know a four letter word that I rarely hear anyone repeat no matter how loose they are with their tongue. In fact I’ll wager that you rarely if ever have used this word yourself, especially with any personal reference, no matter how tough life gets.

Do you want to know what simple four letter word brings kings and princes, the mightiest and boldest to their knees?

How to Organize a Church – The New Testament Church

The Greek word from which we get the term church is ekklesia. It is in the New Testament that we see this term come to have its technical sense of a group of people who have gathered for the purpose of instruction and worship. It is used in the broadest sense of the universal church – that body of all believers in Christ from Pentecost to the rapture e.g. ‘I will build my church’ Matthew 16:18. In another facet of meaning it could be used of believers in a certain city e.g. Revelation 1-3. It was also used in the New Testament to describe those believers meeting in one location Romans 16:3-5.

Old Testament Is Just As Inspired As New Testament. So Why Do So Many Ignore it?

The Old Testament lays the foundation for the teachings and events found in the New Testament. First, the Old Testament is of great importance to Christians because it is inspired of God (2 Tim. 3.16-17). Some Christians ignore the Old Testament and focus on the New, but only those who read the New in light of the Old can really learn what God is saying in His Word. The Old Testament provides a fore shadow of the blessing revealed in the New Testament (Hebrews 10: 1).

How Does One Get Into the Church Christ Built?

The individual who complies with the conditions that God gave will be added by God to the church for the same process that makes one a Christian adds him to the church when done from the heart. Only God can know whether or not one truly believes in Jesus from his heart. Only God can know if a man has repented from the heart of his sins. These things being true a man can by all appearances go through the steps essential to salvation but God only knows the sincerity of the heart. I cannot add you to the church even if you by all appearances seem to meet God’s qualifications. Since I cannot know or judge your heart I have to assume your sincerity and honesty and accept you as a child of God, a living stone in God’s church. I would want the same treatment from you. A faithful Christian will never deny such a one the right hand of fellowship.

Myths About Studying Bible Prophecy

People that study end-times Bible prophecy (a.k.a. “eschatology”) know that there is an overwhelming amount of evidence suggesting it should be studied-and that it is very relevant for us today.
