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...
