  • Well done, my child

    By George Smith

    Dr. C. Everett Koop, former Surgeon General under President Ronald Reagan, died recently. The president of the National Christian Medical and Dental Association paid tribute to Dr. Koop’s Christian life and ministry in a newsletter to fellow physicians. In his article he quoted a poem that meant much in Dr. Koop’s life.

  • Does man have to be a sinner?

    By Michael Hardin

    There are few things more prevalent in this world than sin; there is nothing more destructive. Wars can destroy cities, countries and civilizations, but sin can destroy the soul of man. The soul is our most valuable possession.  

  • Shoplifting the Bible happens too often

    By Jarrod Jacobs

    It came to my attention a while back that the most shoplifted book in the world is the Bible. Whether this is true or an urban myth, just think of the irony of a Bible being stolen.

    It is ironic because there are many Bible passages that tell us not to steal, for example, Exodus 20:15; Leviticus 19:11, 13; Deuteronomy 5:19; Ephesians 4:28. Imagine someone stealing something that plainly states, “don’t steal.” Too, we are told in this same book that someone who is guilty of stealing will be lost in hell (1 Corinthians 6:10).

  • What is life?

  • Don’t believe your eyes

    By Jarrod Jacobs

  • Trust, don’t worry

    “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:5-6) What an astounding statement. It calls for faith and trust on our part. God enters into a covenant with man.

  • Walking with the Lord

    Who would be better to turn to for advice on living the Christian life than the Apostle Paul?
    Paul told the Corinthians, “Be an imitator of me, just as I am an imitator of Christ” (1 Corinthians 11:1).
    He said in Philippians 1:21, “For me to live is Christ …”
    In 2 Timothy 4:7, he says as he comes to the end of his life, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the  course, I have kept the faith.”

  • Who made it?

    Sir Isaac Newton had a friend who, like himself, was a great scientist, but the friend was an evolutionist, who did not believe in a divine creator, while Newton was a devout believer in God as the creator of all things.

  • Let us believe and obey the Gospel

    A preacher once said, “My people believe the Gospel, but many of them don’t behave the Gospel.” Admiring truth is not enough. Doctrine and duty ought to go side by side.  Belief and behavior should never be separated. Our lives must match our profession if we are to make an impression upon a lost world in our day.
    Every great doctrine of the Bible makes a practical demand upon our lives. If we say we believe the doctrines, then we need to obey them. Consider a few doctrines and the demands they bring with them.
