    Seventy-three years ago on this day, our nation found out that one of our cities had been bombed by the naval forces of Japan. American lives lost on that day would have exceeded the number of three thousand. A nation that had been debating about whether to go to war or not, suddenly ceased its…

    We are like father Abraham in that we looking for a city whose builder and Maker is God (Heb. 11:10). This world is not our home in that we realize that we are just “passing through”. Does that mean that we have no care for the land in which we are living in? The Christian…

    Let us take a moment to clear some things up. Life is a struggle whether one is a Christian or not. The rain from heaven that causes crops to grow and therefore food for us, comes on the just and the unjust (Matt. 5:45). The first twelve verses of Psalm 73 are about the prosperity…

    Jesus came unto His own and they did not receive Him (John 1:11). It is a sad commentary on the first century world that men seeing the power of Christ and hearing His word failed to accept Him. The world indeed is without excuse when it comes to the issue of salvation through Jesus the…

    I speak of thanksgiving of the heart not some national holiday. In the first century world, Christians were driven from their homes (Acts 8:4). Some were tortured, placed in prison and even killed (Acts 26:10,11). If one dared to confess Christ they could be put out of the synagogue or even face death (Matt. 10:32;John…

    A day set by our forefathers was selected for November to be a day of Thanksgiving. It was to be a time in which all Americans were to pause and thank God for the blessings bestowed on our nation. Many Novembers have come and gone and we have witnessed a change in attitude for what…

    The Bible has so many accounts of people who acted in faith. They heard from God, believed and then acted on what God had commanded. The eleventh chapter of Hebrews lists some of those. If we are familiar with their names perhaps also their acts of faith is likewise known to us. Men like Noah…

    My belief is the problem rest in two areas. One is “politically correct language” and the other is the “community church mentality”. The politically correct language group does not believe that you should ever tell anyone they are wrong about anything. If the Bible is not the standard then how you feel becomes the standard.…

    There are many good things that we can use us to aid in our study of the word of God. Like so many other things that are a result of an increase in knowledge, we warn as always, it depends on how you use it. When we become dependent on the screen in front of…

  • One Last View of What Isaiah Saw

    Isaiah saw a Messiah who would judge among the nations. As we have already concluded, this did not mean every nation but rather individuals in all nations. Who then would the Messiah (Jesus the Christ) judge? We know that Jesus has been given all authority in heaven and on earth (Matt. 28:18). Do all men…
