     | 821 views

    What it means when we say God is a “jealous” God. He won’t let us change religion to suit our own passions and political desires. He loves us too much to permit that.

    Saturday of the Fifth Week in Course 2024 Today we hear about the apostasy of the first king of the North of Israel, Jeroboam. Apostasy is the turning aside from true religion to the worship of a different god. The true God, as we know it from Christian revelation, is immaterial, eternal, ...read more

    The Christian who is real builds his life on truth, not superstition or lies. It is impossible to live a life that is truly spiritual by believing lies. That’s why it is essential to get our thinking right about Jesus Christ.

    1 JOHN 2: 18-23 CHRISTIANS AND ANTICHRISTS Have you heard the statement, “It makes no difference what you believe, just as long as you are sincere!” That statement expresses the personal philosophy of many people today, but it’s doubtful whether most of those who make it have really thought it ...read more

    The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has been bought with a price. We therefore need to be separate in our actions and speech. We must not let the world spot us. God has called us to a life of example. Like the Hebrew Boys, we must represent God always.

    EVEN IF GOD DOES NOT DELIVER US, WE STILL WILL NOT BOW (PT 3) COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM AND BE YE SEPARATE 1. Daniel 3: 1 King Nebuchadnezzar made an image of gold, sixty cubits high and six cubits wide, and set it up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon. 4 Then the herald loudly ...read more

    Every Christian should not only know and love the truth but be willing and able to be contend for the truth which has been entrusted to us and not surrender it for the sake of harmony or unity.

    Eternal life is for those who live faithfully before God, believing in his promises and living by his standards, even when the pressures to conform to our culture are nearly overwhelming.

    Has it ever occurred to you that the Bible probably ought to be rated “R”? It’s definitely not G, and parental guidance is certainly needed. I don’t think it rates an X, even though there’s an awful lot of violence, especially in the OT, and even some sexually ...read more

    Fearing and obeying God needs to come first in the Christian’s life

    TO OBEY OR NOT TO OBEY Today’s passage is probably the most difficult one in Romans.
