A Solid Basis For Religious Unity
Cled E. Wallace: 'The unity that Jesus prayed for and the early church achieved was a unity of faith. "There is one faith" (Ephesians 4:5). This unity demands that men believe the same thing on the same evidence.' Read this thorough study on the simplicity and purity of the faith Christ prayed for all Christians. The Gospel — All Sufficient To Save Without any need for rejuvenation, the Gospel stands today as fresh and singular as when it was first preached on Pentecost. Marvin L. Weir takes a look a today's culture, and its escapist/entertainment mentality. "Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar" (Proverbs 30:6). It is time for so many to do a Master Reset! It Is Very Difficult To Jump A River Procrastination kills: opportunity, business deals, obedience to the Gospel, the eternal spirit in Hell. Gayle Oler gives an example we can all relate to, to encourge action, while we have life and opportunity: "(...behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation)" 2 Corinthians 6:2. The Value Of The Church Fred E. Dennis asks 'where is salvation? ...what will endure for eternity?' in his brief Bible study of Christ's church vs. "generic" churches. Recommended. Baptism Without Consent A moment meditation on the spiritual ramifications of infant baptism. Tom Wacaster reasons from the Gospel Word regarding a common religious practice.

Liquor From "A" TO "Z"
More sage wisdom from the Editor's File Drawer Of Clipping. A succinct statement of the sequel to the use of this poison, which has been the undoing of countless millions over the centuries. (Proverbs 23:31-35). They Crowded Him Out Jesus: they crowded Him out. From the hotel (inn), the town of His birth, from their own selfish lives; from His home town, from His succor towards Jerusalem, from most religion. Batsell Barrett Baxter reviews the places that had no room for Jesus, then asks us to give ourselves an honest appraisal: have we crowded Him out? It is past time for all of us to crowd out self-deception, and serve the Holy One of God! "Once Saved, Always Saved" Jess Whitlock takes a careful look at what the scriptures say, not what some might think that they say. The holy, inspired Word means what it says and says what it means. The Bible interprets itself. Let us not add words to the holy Word of God. Let us not place thoughts and motives where we cannot know they have been. READ the Word. A short review of what the Holy Spirit has revealed about Simon the Sorceror. |

Proving What Is Practiced
What is correctly practiced by the church is commanded in the scriptures of the New Covenant, or New Testament (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Yet, God's attitude to those too careless to follow his instructions have been recorded in the Old Covenant (Old Testament) for our instruction. Nathan Brewer brings a concise review of God's unchanging nature for those who would follow instruction (Galatians 3:24). Power To Defeat The Adversary Who is that Adversary? That old serpent, Satan. Evil in nature, evil in intent, the Father of Lies, the first murderer. Josh Haley gleans holy guidance from the Holy Scriptures to give us the armor which will shield us from his wiles. Must reading for every one who would seek heaven (Ephesians 6:10-18). "So Long As He Is Honest" Although honesty is a necessary condition to salvation, it is not — as mathematicians say regarding the proof of a law — a 'necessary and sufficient condition.' There is the matter of being honestly in error, uninformed, ignorant of the full truth, or without proper instruction. Jerry C. Brewer reviews the Bible account of just such a man. Let us go to the source for our instruction: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works" (2 Timothy 3:16-17). |
