POLITICS AND THE CHRISTIAN

We are facing a crucial election that may determine the fate of our nation. We have forgotten that men are moral and spiritual creatures, made in the image of God Almighty (Gen 1:26f). Our nation must recognize God’s Word, the Holy Bible, as the standard of truth and morality. In the Last Great Day, we

PIDDLY

Little Things #2 Continuing: PIDDLY LITTLE THINGS in your Bible. 12. NAAMAN was a Syrian military leader (2 Kings 5), but he had one serious problem. He had the incurable disease of leprosy. A little slave girl told Mrs. Naaman about a prophet in Israel who could heal him. So Naaman promptly gathered rich gifts

PIDDLY

Little Things Someone wrote us about trivial “piddly” matters. 1. Which fruit to avoid eating in the Garden of Eden? Satan called it a piddly matter. (Gen. 3:1-21) 2. Which kind of wood for the ark? Noah obeyed, considering it not a piddly matter. (Gen 6:13-22) 3. Which fire for sacrifice? Priests Nadab and Abihu

What’s Wrong With You?

CAN’T YOU GET ALONG WITH ANYBODY? Why can’t you settle down somewhere? You were a leader in school, and after that you were given a seat in an honored council. But then what happened to you? And what happened to your wife? Did she leave you because of your frequent disputes? Is it because you

Fathers

Over 70% of high school dropouts come from homes where there is no father. A large percentage of students in grades 1-12 come from homes where the mother has abandoned the children’s biological father, or vice-versa. The Bible calls on men to become strong godly leaders in their homes. God ordained that the father’s family

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

DIVISIVE HEROES

Hebrews 11 is the Holy Spirit’s “Hall of Fame.” Righteous deeds of many are given of whom “the world was not worthy” (vs 38). About forty are named, and there are many more. 603,550 men defied and divided by faith from Pharaoh and walked across the Red Sea on dry ground! Moses, their leader, was

LEADERS CAN BE CORRUPT

Strict Bible requirements qualify for leadership in the church (I Tim 3:1-7 and Tit 1:59). These men are called elders (also bishops, shepherds, pastors, presbyters, overseers). Paul warned that from among these leaders, perverse men would later lead Christians in departing from the truth. Read these severe warnings in I Timothy 4:1-5; 6:3-4; 2 Timothy

NEVER REPENT

There are times when men must NOT REPENT. “Repent” in the Bible means to turn or to change. We must never repent of doing the right thing, of “standing firm,” speaking truth even if all alone (Ephesians 6:10-14). Elijah stood firm for God. He thought he was alone. Actually there were 7,000 with him who

FAMILY: THE WIFE

Dr. James Dobson, family counselor, affirms that America is built on the family! Last week we looked at the husband. Now we look at Eph 5:22-24 to see what God wants the wife to be: “Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ
