As we pursue holiness there are four guidelines taken from the book of James that will help keep us on the right track.
What we think eventually makes us what we are. For this reason Satan attacks our thought lives with special vengeance. We all need to learn to guard our thoughts and take responsibility for what we invite into our minds.
To respect the rich and despise the poor is inconsistent for the Christian. Partiality shows a lack of God's love for others in our hearts. In His sight each person is of equal value, no matter what their income is or what family they come from.
Every human experiences the struggle of existence in a world that is marred by sin. The pain some people encounter makes them stronger Christians, others become bitter. How can we avoid this root of bitterness?
Every fall season of the year should bring home to us a sense of urgency—the need to respond to life’s opportunities. There are some things that each person should make sure they do "before winter."
Our lives should make the gospel of Jesus Christ beautiful and attractive to the lost. This will happen as we follow the instructions God has given for the young people in the church.
God created marriage and gave it as a special gift to man. Therefore it is natural and right when young people seek a marriage partner.
The Word of God is like a mirror. It presents a correct and complete description of the face of the soul. To benefit from this mirror we must spend time looking into it and then act on what we see. Or as the Bible says, be doer and not only a listener.
God has given us but a short time here upon earth, and yet our entire eternity depends upon how we use this time.Young people, and older folks too, have many temptations to face in our age. We want to look at five of them and see what God’s Word has to say concerning each one.
In a world where lying is accepted and cheating is expected do we still seek to live with integrity? Do we even know what integrity in business and our personal lives will look like?
After a snow you can easily follow a person for their footprints lead straight to them. By following the footprints Jesus left when He was on earth we can find Him and safely reach Heaven.
From the beginning, wherever the truth of the Gospel went, the voices of error followed soon after. Paul taught Timothy to overcome many various forms of error by godly living, faithful teaching, and self-discipline.
Alcohol is the most destructive drug in general use today. The reasons for drinking are various but the results of using liquor are the same; broken homes and broken lives. But the real question for those who are Christians and drink is "What does God think of my using alcohol?"
Does it matter what I wear? Take a look at what immodest dress is doing to our society and decide for yourself.
What is the New Birth? It is a work of God in our hearts that makes us completely new. It is a passing from death to life, from Satan's kingdom to God's, and it will affect every area of our lives. Do you know what all this New Birth really involves?
