For 30 Pieces of Silver
One of the worst actions that one man could take against another is betrayal, especially when it is done by a friend. For a few moments, let us look at the betrayal of the greatest friend anyone could ever have: Jesus Christ. First, let us consider the prophecy of Jesus’ betrayal. Zechariah 11:12-13 says, “Then […]
Flesh in the Wilderness
In Numbers 11:23, God said, “Thou shalt see now whether My word shall come to pass unto thee or not.” God had made a promise to Moses that for one month’s time He would feed the Israelites in the wilderness with flesh. Moses, overtaken by unbelief, looked to the outward means, and did not understand […]
Stoicism Isn’t Commended by God
“Man of sorrows what a name for the Son of God who came …” These are words to a hymn of praise that we often sing during our worship assemblies. This song takes its lyrics from Isaiah 53:3. Jesus was despised and forsaken of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. Christ was […]
Unconfessed Sin
I’ve had to deal with a lot of Christians who’ve lied to me. They lie about sins they say they’ve stopped or they refuse to admit they’re doing, even when I know better. It’s not that I want to know every detail of sin in someone’s life. I’d honestly rather not be discouraged and disheartened […]

As Paul closed his second letter to the Corinthians, he wrote, “Finally, brethren, farewell. Become complete. Be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you” (2 Corinthians 13:11). These are good words for us to take to heart, at least the Holy […]

The “Fiery” Member
Some people carry instruments of life and death with them everyday. For example, policemen wear loaded guns and physicians wield powerful drugs. These people have a keen sense of responsibility. Certainly such powerful instruments should never be put into the hands of a foolish, immature, or irresponsible person. Likewise, everyone of us carries and wields […]
Feeding Your Faith
The other day, I was trying to decide what my topic was going to be for my first bulletin. With so many great topics to do from the scriptures, it was a tough decision. As I was scrolling around on Facebook (I know what you’re thinking — not the best place to get inspiration for […]
The Danger of a False Accusation
Currently I am in an American Literature class in college and we have been discussing the Salem Witch Trials and an interesting point has been brought up in our class. There was a danger in this time period of being an “accused” witch. The point I want to draw on in our discussion is in […]
