Christians And Politics

Contributed by Jason Cole on May 20, 2005

Many people have the mindset that politics and religion should not mix, but what exactly should Christians consider when voting? And What is a Christian’s role with the government?

“Christians and Government” Introduction: On a talk show someone commented on the fact that both candidates for president have made their faith a paramount issue in their political debates.

Honouring Our Parents

Contributed by Michael Stark on May 14, 2017

Christian children are instructed to honour their parents. This is one of the few direct commands to children in the congregation. I fear this command is neglected among the faithful today. The message is a study of what the Apostle wrote.

“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ‘Honour your father and mother’ (this is the first commandment with a promise), ‘that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.’” [1] The last days are described in frightful detail in Paul’s final letter to ...read more

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.

The Law And The Christian Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 6, 2021

Christians have recognized what observant men of all ages have noticed, and that is, that law that is a respecter of persons is an instrument of evil, whereas, law that treats all men equally is an instrument for justice.

An angry group of citizens shouted at their small town mayor-"Every city car that passes through here breaks the law by breaking the speed limit. You've got to do something about it, and do it fast." "Don't you worry," said the mayor with confidence. "I'll ...read more

Wrestling is a challenging sport. It takes strength, endurance and real self-sacrifice. These guys train and work out hours each day to stay in shape. I’m sure they have a diet they stick too without compromise. It’s what they live and breathe

Marks Of A Christian

Contributed by John Telgren on Jun 1, 2003

What are the marks of a true Christian? Perhaps it would be helpful to look at what is not a mark of a Christian first, then what the mark of a Christian is

This morning I want to talk about marks. Most of us are familiar with marks. When you mark something, you want to identify it. For instance, people that cut down trees will mark which ones stay, and which ones get cut down. Auto parts stores will mark the parts they sell that have lifetime ...read more
