SUPREME COURT OF GOD

Abraham Lincoln said: “The Bible is the best gift God has given to man. All the good the Savior gave to the world was communicated through this book. But for it we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man’s welfare, here and hereafter, are to be found portrayed in it.”

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

TILL

Every word of Scripture is inspired of God, the product of His breath, and is absolutely true and “useful for doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness.” The man of God is thus “furnished completely unto every good work” (2 Tim 3:16-17). As an example, look at the little word “TILL” or “UNTIL” which always

80 SHORT YEARS 1 LONG DAY

Moses said the 80th milestone marks the end of man’s normal earthly pilgrimage (Ps 90:10). Then begins the ONE long day of eternity (2 Pet 3:8). Before the flood, men lived to great ages – often over 900 years. The average age in Genesis 5 was 857 years. After the flood (Gen 6-9) lifespan dropped

SAMUEL’S FATHER

Every Bible student knows about Samuel. He was the answer to his mother Hannah’s prayer and vow. She promised that if God would give her a son, she would dedicate him to the Lord all of his life. He became a great man, considered the first of the prophets and the greatest figure since Moses

CHURCH SHOPPING

“We are shopping for a church,” he said when I invited him to worship. With hundreds in Fort Worth, he could “shop” the rest of his life! If anyone is looking for the church Jesus built (Mt 16:18), note these identifying marks. NAME. See Rom 16:16: “The churches of Christ send greetings.” He bought it

PHARISEES

The Pharisee sect of the Jewish religion loved to make public displays of their righteousness. They wore long flowing robes, tassels, tinkling bells, prominently displayed phylacteries (prayer boxes), etc. Their religion was based on hundreds of their own religious laws (traditions). Jesus strongly denounced their hypocrisy (Matthew 23, Mark 7 and Luke 11). Their pride kept them from accepting Jesus. They thanked God they were not like other men (Lk

CHOOSING A CHURCH

Mr. Robinson wrote an article in the Star Telegram about “Choosing My Religion.” He gave several ways to choose, but one was left out: What would God’s choice be? The religious professionals suggest basing your choice on one of these: 1. What is most popular. 2. Where the best music is played. 3. Where my

MARITAL DEVOTION

I was famous and had great beauty. But I was barren. I loved my husband dearly, even though he sometimes did such strange things. We had not been married long until he said we must move far away. I loved him and respected him. I was willing to obey him and sometimes called him “lord!”

RECONCILED

The Bible says we have access to the grace of God by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Read carefully Romans chapters 5 & 6. At just the right time, when we were powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for even a righteous man, but God demonstrated His love for
