“what Is That To You? Follow Me”

Contributed by Silas Eke on Feb 26, 2015

We should accept it as axiomatic that God’s dealings with our fellow-disciples are no concern of ours. Our business is to watch our motives carefully, to keep our eyes on the Lord whom we follow, and not to look over our shoulders at others.

Tested saints in all ages have been prone to complain like Israel: “the way of the Lord is not equal” (Ezekiel 18:29). Some of God’s dealings seem to contradict our innate sense of fairness; and instead of faithfully discharging our responsibilities, we are tempted to look over ...read more

Revelation From Heaven Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 23, 2021

Joy And Sorrow And "fun" Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 4, 2024

My boss said he wished he could expunge the word “fun” from our students’ working vocabulary. Now knowing what students at our all-boy high school could do outside supervision, I tended to agree.

Joy, Sorrow and “Fun” Some time ago, I listened to a sermon by the local pastor. He told us that the Ten Commandments were given to us by God so that we could all “enjoy” life. I’m sure there are many, even Christians, who would question that. After all, the Commandments are largely a list of ...read more

Living Like God Matters Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jul 19, 2025

THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: It is often argued that we should stay in the midst of churches and bodies whose sins and follies we deplore, in the hope of saving them for God and mankind. Such reasoning has a good deal of force in the first stages of decline. A strong protest may arrest error and ...read more
