The Baptism Of Saul Of Tarsus
Always let your conscience be your guide? Well, Jerry C. Brewer reviews the case of a man of zeal who practiced mayhem against the body of Christ with a clear conscience. But he still bore his sins: in good conscience. Paul needed conversion. Christ appeared to him to initiate his search and discovery of the means. For some, the conscience as guide has become a chimney-corner scripture, but we urge you to read what the holy scriptures actually say. Contrast the Bible record with the pan-denominational belief that you only need to say a special prayer... Is It A Crime To Offend? Man-made laws would prevent any offense to be made or spoken. Wayne Price shows that we must obey God rather than man. A timely two minute study of scripture vs. current events. "Divisions Must Come" David Lipscomb: "If division must come, let it come along the lines of love and loyalty to God." This sober study in 3 paragraphs shows that we must remain faithful to the truth, even in the face of division. Amos' record of God's question about walking together places unity within its necessary parameters. What Kind Of "Involvement" Dub McClish considers the modern church-growth movement within America. We see a scenario similar to the favors offered to national sports teams by cities which hope to lure them over to their location. Their presence is the prime attribute centered upon. But what about conversion and changed/saved lives/souls? The Word Confirmed By Miracles Edd Holt brings us the inspired chronology which demonstrates the purpose of the miracles of the Bible. Read the highly recommended study with your Bible at one hand and paper and pencil in the other. Suffused with scriptural references! |
