They That Are Whole

Luke records a time when Jesus went to see a publican named Levi (also known as Matthew) while he was at work, “sitting at the receipt of custom” (Luke 5:27-32). We know that the publicans were the tax collectors of Jesus’ day and since they worked with the Romans they were disdained by the Jewish… Continue Reading

The apostle Paul in Romans 12:11 urges us to be “fervent in spirit.” This means we are to have an attitude of zeal. To worship God in sprit is to do so with the right attitude or from the heart.

“I Want To Be Saved”

This situation can result in an individual being exposed to the gospel in a way that is new to them. This, in turn, can… Continue Reading

Elders Need Encouragement, Too

There is a growing disregard for elders. This is symptomatic of our day where human wisdom is substituted for divine revelation. I want to say something on the other side.

Something to Think About

If you think the worship of the church could be better, ask yourself, “Is it I?” Am I the one who needs to be a better listener in Bible Class or during the sermon? Am I the one who needs to participate more in Worship? Do I need to show more reverence? If you think… Continue Reading

What We Deserve and What We Need

A lesson most of us have learned as a child is that there is often a big difference between what we deserve and what we need. I’ve told this story before, but as long as I live I will never forget my father telling me to leave the paint on the garage shelf alone. Of… Continue Reading

Friendship

Someone wrote, “I think that God will never send a gift so precious as a friend…” Another wrote, “Friendship is a chain of gold linked in God’s own perfect mold; Each like a smile, a laugh, or tear, a grip of the hand or a word of good cheer, no matter how far or heavy… Continue Reading
