Speaking the Truth In All Situations
God challenges us to speak the truth in all situations. This is a basic Christian tenet. We are not to lie under any circumstances. “Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.” Ephesians 4:25 Who is your neighbor? Well, it is everyone . . . everywhere.…

Courtship
For those who are not married let’s examine the process of courtship. There are five stages to a relationship. Before these stages begin, we must consider a few things. Is this person a true believer? And if they are a believer, do they have godly character manifested in their life? Are they consistent, honest, do…

Does Jeremiah 10:3-4 Speak of A Christmas Tree?
I will examine this controversial text and review the majority of the chapter, concerning the issue, verse by verse.

There are so many different scenarios in place that the process for doing this would nearly fill a book. Let’s look at the process of choosing elders, according to the Bible, and we will see a how to…

The Ignorant and Unlearned
Around the message we tend to denigrate preachers with intelligence who use history and language to demonstrate the truth of the Message. Some will insult different ones calling them “intellectual giants” and such like.

Pride and Humility
“Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.” 1 Peter 5:5 We hear both of these words together and we often get a picture in our mind of someone who…
