     | 1,211 views

    Many professed Christians will be turned away from Heaven because they have trusted an act rather than trusting the Son of God.

    “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And ...read more

    Even in the midst of national judgement, the follower of Christ the Lord is comforted by the hope Christ gives.

    “This hurts me more than it hurts you.” Are those words familiar to you? Do they bring back memories from your childhood?

     | 2,060 views

    Ignorant people attempt to mask their lack of knowledge through arrogance. Jesus pierced the facade of the Sadducees by pointing to what was written in the Word of the Living God.

    “Sadducees came to [Jesus], who say that there is no resurrection. And they asked him a question, saying, ‘Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. There were seven ...read more

    When one asks the question, "What must I do to be saved," accepting the answer we give will determine the eternal destiny for that person.

    “About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them, and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were unfastened. When the ...read more

    Deceitful Religion

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Apr 6, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 184 views

    Jacob's sons distorted the Faith; the Shechemites attempted to co-opt the religious practices of the Israelites to enrich themselves. Both groups attempted to use religion to obtain their own ends, resulting in death and destruction. Deceitful religion always leads to ruin and destruction.

    “Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to see the women of the land. And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her, he seized her and lay with her and humiliated her. And his soul was drawn to Dinah the daughter of Jacob. He loved the ...read more

    And Then What?

     | 6,108 views

    Each follower of the Christ has had the experience of praying earnestly, only to be disappointed to discover that God has not answered his/her prayer. When God doesn't answer our earnest request, then what?

    “[Jesus] told [His disciples] a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. He said, ‘In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man. And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, “Give me justice against my ...read more

    Jesus' authority over the demons is demonstrated. Because He has authority, we can be certain that as we do His will, we will accomplish what He appoints us to do and what He empowers us to do.

    “They sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee. When Jesus had stepped out on land, there met him a man from the city who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he had not lived in a house but among the tombs. When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell ...read more

    1) Loving Christ more than everything else (John 21:15–17), 2) Being willing to sacrifice everything for Christ (John 21:18–19a), 3) Following Christ’s Leading (John 21:19b–25).

    John 21:15-25 [15] When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs." [16] He said to him a second time, "Simon, ...read more

    The dark account of David's sin with Bathsheba serves as a warning for all who would please God to this day.

    “In the spring of the year, the time when kings go out to battle, David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel. And they ravaged the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem. “It happened, late one afternoon, when David arose from his couch and was walking on ...read more

    The Party Crasher

    Christ receives sinners. Just so, the assemblies of our Lord should be noted for welcoming those who are identified as sinners, since we each were once estranged from the Lord until He welcomed us.

    “One of the Pharisees asked [Jesus] to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee’s house and reclined at table. And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was reclining at table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment, and standing behind ...read more

    Studying the response of Jesus to the devil's temptation lays a foundation for the child of God to withstand temptation.

    “Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. And the tempter came and said to him, ‘If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.’ But he answered, ‘It is written, “Man ...read more

    An examination of the deceitfulness of wealth. Paul warns against succumbing to the pursuit of money.

    “But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world.

    The coming of winter imposes an urgency on our service to Christ. For someone we know, it is "winter, or never." Whatever we are to do, it must be now.

    “Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus. Erastus remained at Corinth, and I left Trophimus, who was ill, at Miletus. Do your best to come before winter. Eubulus sends greetings to you, as do Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brothers. “The Lord be with your ...read more

    “Remind them of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers.
