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.

Contributed by Grant Adams on Nov 26, 2019

Contributed by Grant Adams 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.

Contributed by Grant Adams on Nov 29, 2019

The Christian And Riches Series

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.

The Christian And Judgment Series

Contributed by Grant Adams 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

The Christian Walk

Contributed by Grant Adams on Jan 2, 2020

Do people really watch how Christians live? Does our walk really matter? These are some questions that each one of us has faced at one point or have faced over and over. Let's take a look at our Christians walk and see if it really matters.

The word “walk” makes up the entire Christian life of the believer. The word “worthy” means “blessing”. 1 Thessalonians 2:12; because our God has called us into His family. Certain family members behave in certain fashions. We are to behave in a way which honors God, and makes others want to know ...read more

Philippians 4:10-23 teaches us how to be content.

Christian Education Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 28, 2021

Wisdom is the ability to make right choices in life. Folly is the making of wrong choices. The goal of education in both the secular and sacred realm is to give to people the knowledge and awareness they need to make wise choices.

The Jews loved to tell stories about the importance of choices. Nathan Ausubel tells one of the wealthy Jewish merchant who took his slave on a long journey leaving his only son behind. On the journey the merchant became very ill, and at the point of death he made a will leaving all this ...read more

Christian Citizenship Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

Christians in general and Baptists in particular have played important roles in the patriotism of America. One of the finest patriotic hymns is My Country Tis Of Thee. It was written in 1832 by a Baptist clergyman named Samuel Francis Smith. The Pledge of Alliance to the flag was written in 1892 ...read more

Christian Dignity Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

Every nobody can become somebody, and that is why everybody is worthy of investment. This is God's view of man, for it was while we were yet sinners that Christ died for the ungodly. God is no haphazard and foolish investor.

An old business man once spoke at his club and told of how he made an investment which brought him great dividends, but for which he did not have to pay a cent of taxes. One night as he closed his store he found a dirty boy of 12 crouched against the building trying to protect himself from the ...read more

Envious Christians Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 1, 2021

This sin of envy is capable of any evil, even to the point of killing the Son of God to eliminate Him from the competition. We live in a dangerous world because of the potential of this sin. Paul lists it with the worst sins of depravity

We seldom get the whole story on anything. No doubt, most of us are aware of how the rocks brought back from the moon were kept in isolation for some time less the contain some organism that could spread disease for which we have no defense.

Scripture: Philippians 1:12-18

The Christian Mind Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 3, 2021

We need to be constantly asking ourselves how our thinking on any issue is uniquely Christian. We need to ask, can a good pagan without Christ, and without revelation think the same as I do? If so, what does Christianity have to say on the issue that is of any unique value?

The first fly said to the second fly, "Human beings are funny aren't they?" "Why do you say that," responded the second fly?" "Well," said the first, "they spend a pile of money building a beautiful ceiling, and then always walk on the floor." From ...read more
