2. The Christian And Marriage
Contributed on Nov 10, 2019
God only established two institutions on this earth: marriage and the church.
God only established two institutions on this earth: marriage and the church. Any thing else is man made and outside the sanction and blessings of God.

3. The Christians And Oaths
Contributed on Nov 13, 2019
Oaths and swearing are as common as food and clothing in our life today. This should not be so.
Oaths and swearing are as common as food and clothing in our life today. This should not be so. As Christ rebuked the hard hearts of the Jews of old so the Bible still rebukes those of us who would use the things of God lightly and treat them with disrespect. I.

4. The Christian And Revenge
Contributed on Nov 13, 2019
Revenge might well be called the battle cry of the modern age. Everyone wants to get even or get back or get to someone else. The world is full of inequality and always will be.
Revenge might well be called the battle cry of the modern age. Everyone wants to get even or get back or get to someone else. The world is full of inequality and always will be. There will always be good and bad, rich and poor, famous and unknown. Perhaps, I should riot because I do not have as ...read more

5. The Christian And Enemies
Contributed on Nov 19, 2019
The philosophy of the Jews can very well be said to be the philosophy of modern man. Love your friends and hate your enemies.
The philosophy of the Jews can very well be said to be the philosophy of modern man. Love your friends and hate your enemies. On the surface, this would seem the logical thing to do.

6. The Christian And Prayer
Contributed on Nov 19, 2019
Prayer is the breath and heartbeat of Christianity. Thus, a prayerless Christian is a dead Christian.
Prayer is the breath and heartbeat of Christianity. Thus, a prayerless Christian is a dead Christian. Every religious system has a place in it for prayer, but only Christianity offers the privilege of speaking to a living, acting God. For the Christian, God is only a prayer away.

7. The Christian And Prayer 2
Contributed on Nov 19, 2019
This is a MODEL prayer. Nowhere does the Bible infer that we are to pray a fixed or predetermined prayer. Prayer must be a matter of the heart and thus what I wish to pray may not correspond to your needs and vice versa
This is a MODEL prayer. Nowhere does the Bible infer that we are to pray a fixed or predetermined prayer. Prayer must be a matter of the heart and thus what I wish to pray may not correspond to your needs and vice versa.

8. The Christian And Tithing
Contributed on Nov 26, 2019
Alms spoken of in this section of God’s word covers a multitude of things, but means in general “giving or an act of charity” which means anything that we give to relieve spiritual or physical needs, can be considered alms.
The Christian and Tithing Matthew 6:1-4 Alms spoken of in this section of God’s word covers a multitude of things, but means in general “giving or an act of charity” which means anything that we give to relieve spiritual or physical needs, can be considered alms.

Contributed on Nov 26, 2019
Perhaps, the most misunderstood and most misapplied teaching in the Bible is the teaching of fasting.
The Christian and Fasting Matthew 6:16-18 Perhaps, the most misunderstood and most misapplied teaching in the Bible is the teaching of fasting.

10. The Christian And Anxiety
Contributed on Nov 29, 2019
I suppose anxiety or worry is one of the most profitable tools of the Devil. It has been said why pray when you can worry.
The Christian and Anxiety Matthew 6:25-34 I suppose anxiety or worry is one of the most profitable tools of the Devil. It has been said why pray when you can worry. I am afraid many of us take that attitude. A man once told me, “Worry is like a rocking chair. It keeps you busy, but it doesn’t get ...read more

11. The Christian And Riches
Contributed on Nov 29, 2019
The tragedy of riches is that it not only affects the rich, but it affects the poor as well. Because of a love for money the rich often place all their faith in their riches and center their life around obtaining more.
The Christian and Riches Matthew 6:19-24 The tragedy of riches is that it not only affects the rich, but it affects the poor as well.

12. The Christian And Judgment
Contributed on Dec 2, 2019
We need to take a biblical approach to this difficult subject of judging. The world says, "Don't judge." What does God say? We need to be very careful.
The Christian and Judgment Matthew 7:1-6 This is perhaps one of the most important exhortations, found anywhere in the Bible, given to a Christian. This does not do away with judgment nor condemn it entirely. It merely says that if we judge honestly and according to God’s word, we are safe, but ...read more

14. The Divided Highway
Contributed on Dec 9, 2019
How many of us can remember the day of 55 mph. It seemed like forever to get to our destination. With the age of the Superhighway, all of us desire to get on it and go, but when it comes to the spiritual road, we need to stay on the narrow way.
In this modern age of rapid travel and wide high-speed highways, it is possible to travel across counties and even states without the inconvenience of two-way traffic, speed zones or stop signs. It is not like the narrow often rough, roads that we traveled a few short years ago. Speed was limited, ...read more
