“It Is Well”

Would you ever abandon your faith in God? What would it take to cause you to turn loose of Him? For many people faith in God is strong only when adversity is absent, but dangerously weak when hardships appear. Our faith is successfully tested when we face difficulties while trusting in God to lead us… Continue Reading

Hope from Old Words

I am a firm believer in the old saw that “Circumstances change but people don’t.” Human beings have the propensity to make the same mistakes they’ve always made. Thankfully, we also tend to repeat the good and kind acts of our collective past. This set of obvious truths resonates with Paul’s statement in Romans 15:4:… Continue Reading

“Have a Good One”

I haven’t lived everywhere but in the places I have lived I have noticed little catch phrases unique to that location. We had not been here long (though this was a long time ago!) when I noticed that when leaving a store the clerk would generally say, “Have a good one!” Of course we know… Continue Reading

A Fearful Thing

“Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And having an high priest over the house of God; Let us draw near with a true heart in full… Continue Reading

Who Needs Love?

Love is a multifaceted concept. In the English language we use adjectives to make clear what kind of love we are speaking of. The Greeks had four different words to accomplish this differentiation. For physical love they used “eros” which Plato said included the appreciation of beauty. For friendship they used “phileo” and we see… Continue Reading

Who Do You Belong To?

1 John 3:9-10 “Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not… Continue Reading

Is Grace and Works Mutually Exclusive

Efforts are sometimes made to make grace and works mutually exclusive.  Romans four verse four is often used “For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.  Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.” (Also consider Romans 11:5-6).  Is grace… Continue Reading

Just One Breath Away

I enjoy watching Alabama football. I enjoy watching them succeed, it is disappointing to see them fail and I am happy to see them win. I look forward to Saturdays when I get to watch them play, as well as some other teams. I watched with interest the quarterback competition this year, not personally, but… Continue Reading

Who Do You Look Like?

Have you ever been sitting somewhere and someone walk up and introduce themselves and you give them your name and have them say, I thought so you look like such and such. Perhaps you have had someone ask you “is your last name so and so” you may say “yes it is”, and have them… Continue Reading

Who Is Truly A Christian?

To this question one might respond, “The person who has been baptized for the remission of sins”. It is true that baptism is for the remission of sin, Acts 2:38. It is equally true that baptism by immersion is essential to salvation but is that all it is to it? I have seen over the… Continue Reading
