King Tut and King Jesus
Sunday, November 26 marks the 95th anniversary where, in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings, British archaeologists Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon became the first souls to enter King Tutankhamen’s tomb in more than 3,000 years. Tutankhamen’s sealed burial chambers were miraculously intact, and inside was a collection of several thousand priceless objects, including a gold […]
Should We Be a “Full-Service” Church?
Our consumer culture drives us to search for a congregation that offers multiple ministries and programs. But the Gospel gives us no such mandate. The religious world is one of fierce competition — just like the world of car sales. Dealerships compete for business by offering friendly salespeople, an up-to-date service center, free loaners, and […]

A Day to Remember
On December 7, 1941, approximately 78 years ago, America was shaken as Imperial Japan launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. President Franklin D.

From the dark picture of Zion as a forsaken shed in the midst of desolation and as an unfaithful wife, the prophet turns to the future and sees Zion glorified above all cities and nations. The prophet declares, “And it shall come to pass in […]

Lessons From Psalm 110
One of the greatest parts of scripture, in my opinion, is when a particular verse(s), or chapter makes a clear connection to other passages.

Alexander Campbell and the Church of Christ
When someone gets into a discussion about denominations, and they know that the person to which they are talking is a member of the church of Christ, they will make the claim that Alexander Campbell started the church of Christ. Is this accurate? Churches of Christ are mentioned by name in the scriptures (Romans 16:16). […]
Lessons From the Churches in Revelation: Smyrna
This year, there have been several articles published of growing animosity and persecution of the Christian faith. Some go as far as to say that persecution of Christians has reached almost a genocidal level. This is not the first time the church has been persecuted, and it certainly won’t be the last. Consider the church […]
Lessons From the Churches in Revelation: Pergamum
We live in a day and age where compromise is instructed for everyone to practice. No matter if it’s the world of politics, economics, or religion, in order to achieve unity, we are told to compromise the truth.
