Losing Our Way

Posted by on Apr 5, 2021 in Articles | 0 comments

Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Gal. 6:1 A good friend and mentor of mine used to routinely say to me, in regards to the overall conduct and character of our current society, “Jason, as a people, we’ve lost our way”. This statement was his way of saying we really know better than how we are conducting ourselves.  In the Bible, we are often called to repent (Acts 2:38, Luke 13:3,5). This simply means to leave what is wrong and pursue what is right. Sometimes,...

Encouragement

Posted by on Mar 26, 2021 in Articles | 0 comments

Wherefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as also ye do. (1 Thess. 5:11) Words simply cannot express how much I personally appreciate the kind encouragement that I have received from everyone. All the kind words are so helpful. Plus, seeing our good attendance and even those who have come forward asking for prayer and one being baptized energizes the congregation. These encouragements give us all commitment to our purpose and keep each of us motivated to do as we should on a daily basis (Heb. 3:13). Everyone needs encouragement. Hebrews 10:25 tells us it is vital to be...

Nathan Rebukes David

Posted by on Mar 23, 2021 in Articles | 0 comments

 And the LORD sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor. (2 Sam. 12:1) Nathan was sent and so are we (Matt. 28:18-20). We go to all the world and this is accomplished in many ways and by many means, such as personal evangelism, public teaching in gospel meetings, and such and even in our worship as we teach in song and preach the Word. We are carrying such a powerful message. The gospel contains the power to change men’s lives today. Romans 1:16 tells us, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of...

Enemies of Contentment

Posted by on Mar 12, 2021 in Articles | 0 comments

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. Philippians 4:11 Oftentimes I find myself struggling to remain content. It seems I forget to be happy with what I have because my eyes keep seeing and ultimately wanting the latest and greatest. There is nothing wrong with having things and enjoying activities in this life, even Abraham and Job are described as wealthy men but the problem comes when I can’t be content and become obsessively covetous. Contentment is a learned attitude (Phil 4:11). One way to learn this trait is to...

Scenes at Judgement

Posted by on Mar 5, 2021 in Articles | 0 comments

This is the end of the matter; all hath been heard: Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. (Ecc 12:13-14)  The judgement scene is one we struggle to comprehend, seeing as we never have experienced such a thing, yet it is to be the focus of our lives (Ecc 12:13-14). Everything we do here is in preparation for this moment. Let’s just consider a few points to help settle our minds on living each moment for that day! Judgement is certain. Hebrews...

Finally Brethren

Posted by on Feb 26, 2021 in Articles | 0 comments

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. (Eph 6:10) One of the phrases that appears in scripture multiple times is “finally brethren”. In our language today, we’ll say “and one last thing”. This often indicates that what we are about to say is as important or many times more important than anything else we’ve stated inside that conversation. In Phillipians 3:1, we are told to “rejoice in the Lord”. Here, Christians are encouraged to take joy in the fact they are right with God. Many things in life are very troublesome to us. One thing that helps us during...
