“…It’s from an old familiar score, I know it well, that melody.” This million-selling song was made popular by Harry James, who was born in Albany, Georgia. When he was eight, his family moved to Beaumont, Texas, the home of the world-famous athlete, “Babe” Didrikson Zaharias. James and his orchestra, who began playing in 1939, […]

Politics

Reminders for a political season (mostly for me): 

1. We are not baptized into a political party, but into Christ. This sets our priority. 

2. Only Christ, not a party, is to be sanctified in our hearts as Lord (1 Pet 3:15). There is no competition for Lordship. If there is, we are guilty of idolatry. 

3. The Christian’s identity is wrapped up in Christ, not in a party or human. To live is Christ (Phil 1:21; Col 3:4). 

4. No party or other person has been crucified for us. Nor are we crucified with or for a party, but only Christ…

In the eighteenth chapter of John, Christ stood before Pontius Pilate to answer charges of insurrection. Pilate, the governor of Judea, asked Christ if he was the King of the Jews. Christ answered by saying His kingdom was not of this world. Pilate then asked if He was a King. Jesus responded in John 18:37 by saying, "You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I came into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is…

Fighting Discontentment Much sin originates from discontentment. Discontentment boils down to not being happy with what we have, who we are, or Who God is. What we have are possessions, wealth, health, and family. Who we are is employment, education, … Read More →

Personal Work is Personal It is easy for us to overlook the important role personal conversation has in the conversion of the world. We long for days like that Pentecost when the response to preaching resulted in 3,000 conversions. That … Read More →

A Constant Eternal Unchanging Security Our world is in a constant state of fear, flux, chaos and confusion. Truth, love, logic and common-sense have somehow seemingly been separated and sequestered from society in general. The good guys are now often … Read More →

When I hear a news item that seems too bizarre to be true, I go to the Internet to see if reliable sources can verify what happened. When I heard about Bibles being burned by Black Lives Matter protesters in Portland, Oregon, such an action seemed dubious. Why would a “civil rights” group want to […]

In this article we are going to study the problems of self. We will see not only the reality but also the magnitude of the problem—how selfishness can cost us our eternal soul. We will note several Biblical examples of selfish people who illustrate the characteristics and consequences of an improper attitude toward self. We will cite several problems one can expect to have if he is egotistical and self-centered. This article will offer some practical suggestions on how to solve the problem of self.

“The reason talk is cheap,” said one wise man, “is because the supply always exceeds the demand.”

That’s certainly true in the internet age! Websites are cluttered with strings of comments that users have made about — well, anything and everything. You didn’t ask for their opinions, but you get them anyway. Even when they aren’t using their mouths, some folks are doing a lot of talking. And, if you’re like me, you’ve found that much of it isn’t worth hearing (or reading).

     The saving gospel needs no revisions, additions or alternations. The gospel, as it is, will save man as he is. "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain." (1 Corinthians 15:1-2) Salvation can be a reality only when the saving gospel is proclaimed, accepted and obeyed.
