Since Death Is Certain And Real.

Please, read this heartily! "...Better to go to the house of mourning Than to go to the house of feasting, For that is the end of all men; And the living will take it to heart...." Ecclesiastics.7.2.nkjv. The way many people live, I wonder if they ever give serious thought to death and what will follow death. Man's physical body was made out of dust, and unto dust shall it return (Gen. 3:19). The soul (spirit) of man shall never die. "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Heb. 9:27). Every person who dies shall come forth from the grave. "Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation" (Jn. 5:28-29). When a person dies, his body is returned to the ground but the soul goes either to "Abraham's bosom,...

This Is For The Living Only.

For The Living Only: The Futility of Life. All men would like to be happy. The problem is that we are not quite sure what happiness is. At times we feel better than at other times. There are times when we feel great. But, even then we are not quite sure if this is all there is to happiness. It seems to be an elusive dream of total satisfaction, but it often stays just out of reach, leaving us feeling empty and dissatisfied. We want to find some significant reason to live and it seems to boil down to a few things. We imagine that these things must surely deliver on the promise for happiness, else so many people would not keep on seeking happiness in these things. To have a dream and then to pursue that dream seems to be the main reason for our existence. The dream is for riches, popularity, or prestige. To have other people acknowledging our importance is what life is all about, because we often have a hard time convincing ourselves that we are as important as we want o...

What Is Debate (Christian Perspective)?

What Is Debate (Christian Perspective)? By Benson Omole. A Christian debate involves respectful biblical discussions, and arguments about Christian theology, doctrine, and practices. It's usefulness is immeasurable. Benefits: 1. Clarifying beliefs: Debate helps Christian devotees to articulate and understand the scriptural beliefs, and therefore measure the standards of their compliance or non-compliance! 2Tim. 2:15. 2. Understanding different perspectives: Christian Debate exposes participants to various interpretations viewpoints, and several additions to the gospel of Christ. 2 John 1:9-11 3. Strengthening faith: Engaging in debates can deepen one's understanding and conviction of the faith in the Way. 2 Cor. 13:5. 4. Evangelism and apologetics: Debates can provide opportunities to share and defend Christian beliefs with others. 2 Tim. 4:2. Key Aspects: 1. Respectful dialogue: Debates should be conducted in a respectful, peaceful and charitable man...

THE BIBLE SPEAKS DAILY (NOVEMBER 27TH, 2024)

TODAY'S TOPIC: YOU MUST REPAIR YOUR FAITH, BY THE WORD OF GOD. TODAY'S VERSE: Acts 3:22-23 NKJV "...For Moses truly said to the fathers, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your Brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you. And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people..." "Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Winston Churchill, once said: I took a taxi one day to the BBC offices for an interview. When I arrived, I asked the driver to wait for me for Forty Minutes until I 'll get back, but the driver apologized and said, "I can't, because I have to go home to listen to Winston Churchill's speech. I was amazed and delighted with the man's desire to listen to my speech! So I took out 20 pounds and gave it to the taxi driver instead of 5 Pounds without telling him who I was. When the driver collected the mon...

THE BIBLE SPEAKS DAILY (NOVEMBER 19th, 2024)

TODAY'S TOPIC: DOES THE FAITH OF CHRIST KNOW ANYTHING CALLED CHRISTMAS? TODAY'S VERSE: "...But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage? You observe days and months and seasons and years..." Every 25th of December, the religious World celebrates a holiday which they called " Christmas ", presumably to celebrate the Birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. This celebration is supposed to be the BIRTHDAY of our Lord Jesus Christ!!! It should be kept in mind that the Gospel accounts reveal only a few incidents in connection with the early life of Jesus Christ. The following chronology of these events should be helpful: a. Birth of Jesus: Matt. 1: 2 5, Luke 2: 1-7 b. Visit of Shepherds (Same Night): Luke 2:8-20. c. Jesus' Circumcision (Eight days old): Luke 2:21. d. Jesus' Presentation (at least 40 days old): Leviticus 12: 2-6; Luke 2:22...

The Church Described As A Kingdom And The Called out

The Church Described As "A Kingdom" And "The Called out" In this lesson, I would like to discuss two more of those biblical terms used to describe the church of Christ. There are many terms used to describe facets about the New Testament church and these two will assist us in coming to a better knowledge of its nature. The study in this lesson considers the church described as "a kingdom" and as "the called out." The Church As "A Kingdom" Through the years brethren have established several general rules by which they point out the use of the "kingdom analogy." Some of those rules are scriptural in content and are: 1. The term kingdom implies: A. A King (Christ - Luke 1:31-33). B. Subjects (all the saved ones are citizens). C. Territory (all the world - Matt. 28:18-20). D. A set of laws (Heb. 5:8,9; Jude 3). 2. The term "kingdom" is used occasionally interchangeably with church: A. Matthew 16:18,19, Jesus said to Pete...
