YOUNGER MEN

God instructs about behavior of older men, older women, younger women and also instructions are given to the young men. In his letter to young evangelist Titus, Paul writes: “Encourage the young men to be self-controlled … set an example by doing what is good … in your teaching show integrity, seriousness of speech, so

YOUNGER WOMEN

God instructs about behavior of older men and older women, then about younger women to whom we now give attention. The apostle Paul wrote about this when writing to the young evangelist Titus (2:4), and added these things should be taught “with all authority” (vs 15). Men and women are to teach younger women, but

OLDER WOMEN

Last week we looked at how God used older men in His service. Today we consider older women. “Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good… to train the younger women to love their husbands

GOLDEN YEARS

More people are living to advanced years than ever before. Some folks resent getting old, and others resent old people. In an age that worships the goddess of youth, we need divine guidance to develop proper attitudes toward our retirement years. Moses did his greatest work between ages 80 and 120. John wrote Revelation when

GODLY SORROW

Paul wrote a letter that caused sorrow, but he said he did not regret what he had done. “I do not regret it … I see that my letter hurt you, but only for a little while. Yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to

COVENANT BREAKER

This sin, often overlooked, is in the long list of sins in Romans 1:28-32. Those who practice such things or who approve such “deserve death” (v. 32, NIV). “Adultery” often refers to sexual acts (Jn 8:4), but is also translated “breaking of a covenant,” having nothing to do with sexual sin. When Israel turned away

ABC

Look at all the Bible says on the ABC’s of today’s religions. As we look at the Bible description of the church Jesus built, it’s worship, etc., we are amazed at its simplicity as compared to churches of today. We are warned to “not go beyond what is written” (I Cor 4:6; Mt 15:3-9) and

RUN TO WIN!

In l936, athlete Jesse Owens went to compete at the Olympics in Berlin where Adolph Hitler, dictator of Germany, was present. But that did not intimidate Jesse who was an African American. He was confident of his ability and today is perhaps the most memorable Olympic athlete, achieving what no other Olympian had accomplished. He

JUDGEMENT DAY

After this life is over, all the dead will be raised and judged by God according to “the book of life”’ (Rev 20:11-15). “An hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have

BAPTISM’S PURPOSE

The diagram you see here shows prepositions in Greek, the original language of the New Testament, inspired by the Holy Spirit of God (2 Tim 3:16). The correct word was always used in the original language. Prepositions are “words governing entrance into or directions and limits” (Thayer’s Greek-English Lexicon). Some do not know the truth
