According to God’s Will
When we make plans apart from seeking God’s will, we are guilty of arrogance. Such boasting is called evil (Jas 4:13-17). That may not seem like evil to us, but it is. Why? Because that is the attitude at the foundation of all evil.
We usually think of evil in terms of various moral transgressions, but the…

Clear Statements of the Final Judgment That there will be final appearance before God and a final judgment is obviously taught in the Bible. It is not that in some vague way, open to various interpretations, that somehow men might … Read More

It is one thing to read a text. It is another to ask, “What does that text mean?” Just reading a text word for word does not in itself tell us what it means. Asking what it means will necessitate entering the realm of interpretation. It is inevitable (e.g., try teaching parables without interpreting them). Saying “we don’t interpret; we just read what it says” is naive at best and dishonest at worst. If one truly believes that interpretation…
The Southside Lectures have played a vital part of every summer here since 1980, save the year of the pandemic. They have been a source of great teaching, edification, encouragement, and evangelism. Each program somehow rises to a new level of enthusiasm and excitement for the Lord’s things and the Lord’s people. And they give us a renewed motivation to continue our work and to not grow weary in well doing.
Meet the 42nd lectures for 2022. The dates are June 20-23. While we certainly welcome visitors from other congregations and look forward to having visitors during the week,…
In Acts 10, we are introduced to a man named Cornelius. Cornelius was a Roman centurion. The passage says of him that he was “a devout man and one who feared God with all his household, who gave alms generously to the people, and prayed always to God.” In verse 22, we see that he also had “a good reputation among all the Jews.” Just about everyone would describe Cornelius as a good man.
Similarly, in Acts 8, we are introduced to a eunuch from Ethiopia, a trusted servant of the queen of Ethiopia. This man had traveled a great distance…

Are You "Offended"?
Philip C. Strong
It’s no secret, and therefore should come as no surprise, that people sometimes use words differently than the Bible does. “Offend” is just such a word. Many use “offend” to mean: “I disagree with you, therefore your statement “offends” me; I disapprove of your conduct, therefore it “offends” me;” or, “You hurt my feelings, therefore I am offended.” I didn’t consult a common dictionary, since they sometimes define a word by its common usage more than its true…
