Is that cliff too high for me to jump off since I can flap my arms super-fast and fly? Coach said I am better suited as a lineman; do you think he is right? What does it mean to “die with Christ?” What do you think about me attending college where there isn’t a good group of Christians? Do you even think that going to college is the right decision for me? Is it favorable for me to date this person? What…

Preaching in the Wilderness
I’d like to introduce your to Tim and Jill Anderson.
We recently vacationed in northern Michigan. Before we left, we did an internet search for congregations we could worship with during our stay there. We also sent a few e-mails to make sure our information was correct. We ended up meeting with a tiny church in Cedarville on the upper peninsula of Michigan. There we met Tim and Jill Anderson.
The Upper Peninsula church
Until four years ago, there were no churches of Christ in that region of Michigan. The Andersons had vacationed in the region a few times and…

When the elders asked the deacons to write an article for the Southside Sunday, we were given a choice of topics. I decided on “Our Offerings to God.” Then, after careful consideration, I began first of all to look at some of the things God has given us.

All along we hear questions raised as to what has gone wrong with today's youth. Recently, a brother expressed his concern along this line and then asked, "What advice would you give young parents to help them avoid mistakes that we have made in our generation?"
The first thing we would say is: All is not bad with today's youth. We see young people in the church voluntarily attending special classes conducted for their benefit and studying diligently in preparation for these classes. We see them singing in the worship periods, listening to sermons, following in their Bible, obeying the gospel…

In II Samuel 12 Nathan the prophet confronts King David with his sins. How did Nathan rebuke the King of Israel?
- Sent by God: God will not appear to us, but He does "talk" to us through His word. He will not give us a specific name, but He urges us to be aware of sinful behavior of our brothers and sisters (Galatians 6:1).
- Told a story: Like Jesus used parables, Nathan told a story to help David see wrong. It is not wise to hit someone over the head with their sin. Nathan told the story of injustice he knew David…

Memory is reserved for the human family. While it is true that animals--even plants--have a sort of memory, it is not of the moral sort. Human memory is the foundation for all learning. Learning is basically piling new information on top of memory. We become quickly disquieted when we can’t remember something or especially when a loved one has lost the faculty for recalling things.
