  • The Snowflake Pattern

    The Snowflake Pattern They tell us that every snowflake is different. How exactly one might go about proving this is hard to say, since proving such a negative is humanly impossible, but nevertheless, we must admit that nobody has ever … Read More

  • What About Your Parents or Other Loved Ones
    Do you hesitate to be baptized for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38) or even to admit that the scriptures teach that you should be baptized to be saved (Mark 16:16) because your parents or some other loved ones have failed to do so and because you are concerned about their spiritual welfare? If so, you may be risking your eternal salvation while doing nothing to enhance their eternal destiny.

    It is natural for you to be concerned about the spiritual welfare of your parents or other loved ones. You must realize, however, that your obedience can neither save…

  • One Another's

    Have you ever taken the time to consider the “one another “statements in the scriptures? The impact that would occur IF every member in the local church fully followed these passages. The encouragement would strengthen the “fainthearted”, help the weak, [ 1THess 5:14] cure the weakness in most, and build up one another.

    Consider the follow passage and look for the positive effects will have on every member!

    Joh 13:34 "A new commandment I give to you, that you…

  • Alone in a Crowd

    Elders across the country are seeing an increase in the number of Christians who are dealing with depression/anxiety and the very negative effect on the spiritual lives of their members. There is a dipropionate increase in the number of young people whose lives are interrupted by anxiety/depression to the point that their ability to worship and serve God becomes difficult for them. At this point parent and elders are faced with a more difficult challenge to prevent spiritual malnutrition.

    There is a growing body of research in the mental health world that suggests…

  • Mid-week Bible Study
    One of my best memories as a kid is that of loading up the station wagon and heading to Bible study on Wednesday night. No matter the weather, or schoolwork (we had to do it immediately after school on Wednesdays), or ball, we were there. Do you know how embarrassing it was to be pulled out of practice or a game (the worst!) and have to leave the field with your parents (of all people!) to "go to church" while the others stayed and played? Funny how I still remember that. Not only did I survive, but also in the…
  • Acts 2 and 3 and the Gift of the Holy Spirit
    When you lay out Acts 2 and 3, there are some great comparisons. Both begin the same basic way (Men of Judea, Men of Israel) and contain at least these similarities:

    They start by clearing up misunderstandings and reference a direct act of God's power (2:15-20; 3:16-18).

    They show how the miracles attest to Jesus (2:22; 3:16).

    They speak to "the name of the Lord" (2:21, 38; 3:16).

    They reference the guilt of killing Jesus (2:23; 3:14-15).

    They affirm the resurrection of Jesus (2:24, 32; 3:15).

    They show how it all happened according to…

  • Is There a Divine Pattern for The Church?
    We must surely realize our need for such a pattern. No reputable contractor would attempt to construct a building without a blueprint. Even the most talented seamstress realizes the need for a pattern. This is because the tasks they undertake are difficult. Of how much more infinite difficulty is the task of the church, which is "the pillar and ground of the truth"? (1Timothy 3:15)

    Indeed, concerning man's entire relationship to God, Jeremiah could cry in all truth, "O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to…
