Brethren, We Cannot Compromise
This is one of the greatest threats we face today. Compromise. Christianity is not for the compromiser. Don’t misunderstand. We are not advocating a terrorizing bulldog mentally that steamrolls anyone with a contrary view. We should compromise with one another in every area we can (Rom. 14). However, we should not compromise the gospel (Gal.…

Love OR Truth?
Our society wants us to pick. Which will it be; love or speak truth? By “love,” they implore us to accept, tolerate, and ultimately applaud their life. “Truth,” would thus be to confront, convict, or (in their minds) hate, despise, and repudiate their lifestyle. Which will it be? Don’t let the Devil fool you! This…

Promises God Never Made
Christian, stop making promises for God. I know I’m not the only one who has heard this statement, and ones very similar, “It’s all going to work out / God’s going to take care of that / God’s going to heal you…” How interesting, you know what God is going to do… I don’t. Maybe…

The repeated admonition as school starts back is, “Be kind.” Undoubtedly, this is critically important and a deeply Biblical premise. Be kind because every person is made in the image of God. Parents, it’s crucial to instill the value of kindness in our children. In a world where kindness is a rare commodity, our little…

What Must You Do To Be Lost?
We don’t typically list this, but taking a survey seems helpful. Often, we think it is much harder to be saved than lost… That may not be accurate. Consider: There are many things one would have to do to be lost. You would have to reject God’s existence – Rom. 1:20 — Psa. 19:1-4 You…

The Goodness of God
3 And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgment of God? 4 Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? (Romans 2:3–4) There is…
