How to be Friendly

May 30, 2021

Almost everyone agrees that friendliness is a great asset in life. Although there are rare, highly-focused exceptions, the vast majority of successful, influential people are friendly. They are likable. They are popular among their peers, and people actually enjoy being around them. If you want to have friends, the Bible […]

A Good Name

May 23, 2021

Successful, enduring companies understand the value of a good name. They guard their name with patent and copyright protections, and they aggressively oppose any serious violations of their name. They understand that the name is often the first thing customers see, and it summarizes what the company is all about. […]

Growing Old Together

April 18, 2021

The gospel writer, Mark, tells of an incident in the life of Jesus where he fielded an interesting question about fasting: “Why don’t your disciples fast like disciples of John the Baptist and the Pharisees?” Jesus explained that it was not yet the appropriate time for them to fast since […]

Except the Lord Build the House

March 14, 2021

Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain, (Ps. 127:1KJV).

Crucified With Christ

February 14, 2021

There are several passages which speak of “dying” with Christ. Obviously, these are not teaching that we literally and physically died at the time Jesus was nailed to the cross.

Remember the Main Thing

January 24, 2021

As I write these lines, it is Inauguration Day in America – a very important thing. It is important on many levels, including the fact that it represents the peaceful transfer of power in our blessed republic. It has been occurring every presidential term for nearly 250 years. It is […]

The Fruit of the Spirit

January 3, 2021

We note in Gal. 5:22 the absence of an “s” after “fruit.” Paul did not say, “the fruits of the Spirit are…” but, “the fruit of the Spirit is…” The use of the singular rather than the plural suggests an aggregate or total package. It’s like a recipe where all […]

A Straight Course to Samothrace

December 27, 2020

There is an interesting detail included by the inspired historian, while describing a part of Paul’s Second Missionary Journey in Acts 16:11. Luke records that after setting sail from Troas, “we made a straight course to Samothrace.” Making a straight course in those days meant they took advantage of favorable winds—the sailing […]

Order Out of Confusion

November 8, 2020

Christians are people of decency, people of order. We do not enjoy turmoil, or when the lives of people around us are filled with strife and disorder. Christians are people of peace. It is a “peace which passeth all understanding” and is given specially by Jesus Christ, (Phil. 4:7). We […]

Should I Vote in this Election?

November 1, 2020

As we “enjoy” (should I say “endure”) another election season, several have inquired about Bible principles which might provide guidance during this controversial time. Following are some of my thoughts, for what they are worth, with several passages and applications intended to help us conduct ourselves as God would have us. […]
