It is good that this nation stops to observe a time of giving thanks. We have truly been blessed with an abundance, and those who are not thankful are ingrates. However, the true Christian is one who remembers and thanks God, not merely once a year, but continuously. The Christian is to be like his …

Christis and Denomos ON: THE WAY
DENOMOS: Christis, thanks for inviting me to your Sunday Bible class. The members of your church are certainly nice. They remind me of some of the people in my denomination. But you know, I believe that we are all going to the same place, we’re just going by different ways. CHRISTIS: Denomos, that would be …

MIRACLES THEN AND “MIRACLES” TODAY
There is no doubt that miracles had been performed in centuries past. Jesus calmed the storm, walked on water, raised the dead. His disciples healed the blind, the deaf and the lame. Yes, miracles have certainly occurred. Yet, there are those today who claim that miracles can still be performed. Is this so? Does God …

THE LORD’S CHURCH
The Lord’s church is the greatest institution on earth. It was planned before the beginning of the world (Eph. 3:9), prophesied throughout the Old Testament (Isa. 2:2-4; Dan. 2:44; etc.), and was built by Christ (Matt. 16:18). There was, and always will be only one (Eph. 4:4) that is acceptable to the Lord (Matt. 15:13). …

THE REWARD
According to Young’s Analytical Concordance, the word “reward” occurs thirty times in the New Testament as it is translated from three different Greek words. In reading these verses, it becomes easily obvious that the faithful Christian’s reward is heaven. In Mathew 5:10-12, those who are persecuted for doing that which is right shall have their …

THE SECOND PAIR OF TABLETS
Who wrote the second pair of tablets? We all know when God gave Moses the first pair of tablets containing the Commandments, they were “written with the finger of God” (Ex. 31:18; also see: Ex. 24:12; 32:16). However, when Moses went down the mountain to deliver the tablets to the people, he saw the great …

THE CHRISTIAN’S AFFIRMATION
If God does exist, and if the Bible is inspired of God, and if Jesus is the Son of God, and if the Bible teaches that one must believe, repent, confess and be baptized in order to be saved, then one can know what to do to be saved from the wrath of God. God …

THE POWER OF GOD’S WORD
“And God said, Let there be…” and it was so (Genesis 1:3,6,9,11,14,20,24, 26). With such words, our world was created. With such words, matter came into existence. God simply spoke things into being out of nothing–ex nihilo. Hebrews 11:3 states, “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the WORD OF GOD, so …

GOD, CHRISTIANS and the BIBLE
God wants His people to be a Bible reading people. To the Thessalonians, the inspired writer wrote, “I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren” (1 Thes. 5:27). In 1 Timothy 4:13, He commanded, “Give attendance to reading.” To the Colossians, He admonished, “Read the epistle” (Col. …

NO AUTHORITY — NO ACTION!
“And whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus.” –Colossians 3:17 The Bible prohibits actions by one of two ways. One of which is by simply telling us not to do it [e.g., “Thou shalt not….”]. The other is by not giving us the authority to …
