One Bride For Seven Brothers

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 2, 2022

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 17, 2022

We live now and follow the way of Christ, not only because it causes a peaceful and civil society, but we even deny ourselves now so that we can celebrate with Christ in His kingdom.

Saturday of the 33rd Week in course For those of us raised in a solid, middle-class home, in a reasonably ordered town or city, the scenes pictured in apocalyptic books like Revelation are hard to imagine. But those who were in Chicago in late August, 1968, and saw the police riot and ...read more

Whose Wife Is She?

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Nov 1, 2019

when dealing with trick questions, one needs to attack the basis of the question rather than trying to answer the question.

Whose Wife is She? Luke 20:27-38 There is more to a question than the question itself. Sometimes they aren’t really looking for an answer. The classic question of this sort is “When did you stop beating your wife?” One immediately sees the trap in this question. No matter how one answers the ...read more

Relationships In The Hereafter

Luke 20:27-38 Relationships in the Hereafter Sometimes we are forced to say good-bye to those we love. And in those most trying of times, we hold onto the biblical idea of a great reunion of all believers in a place called heaven.

Bracketed by Palm Sunday on one end and Easter Sunday on the other, this is the most important week in history. On Friday, ...read more
