After All, I Didn't Kill Anybody

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 9, 2014

There is a good reason to avoid the near occasions of sin, but not even that is enough to make us the image of Christ.

“What’s bothering you so much? After all, I didn’t kill anybody!” That lame excuse is often given to people who have seen another doing wrong. The wrong action could be anything short of murder. Maybe it’s a so-called “white lie,” told by somebody to ...read more

Why Sunday?

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Apr 24, 2024

When you look at the letter of the Law, you demand one day only. When you look at the principle or purpose of the Law you see the grace that Paul spoke of and why Gentiles were not required to be under naught but the moral law.

Exodus 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. KJV The question is often asked why most Christians meet on Sunday instead of Saturday. Let's look first at the definition of the word in both Hebrew and Greek sincere will be looking at it it from the OT and NT sides. OT:7676 shabbath ...read more

Obedient Citizens

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 21, 2023

Leaders of nations that oppress Christians are only hurting themselves by persecuting their best citizens. Let's look at why in Romans 13.

Friday of the 27th week in Course 2024 We should begin any homily on the Letter to the Galatians with a reminder that this church in Asia Minor was in a kind of turmoil because of some itinerant Jewish Christian preachers. These folks came to town after St. Paul taught them the basics of Christian ...read more
