We are all aware of the many problems that exist in this world, but the greatest problem of all, and perhaps the root of all other issues, is the problem of sin.  Sadly, our society has chosen to deal with the symptoms and consequences of sin instead of the problem of sin itself. Alcoholism is […]

The divorce rate has gotten so out of hand in this country that there is a jewelry store in L.A. where you can actually rent wedding rings.  The message is that your marriage is probably only temporary anyway, so why invest in a ring that you call your own?  Just rent a ring, and when […]

John liked to use the word “whosoever.”  He are some examples:  1 John 2:23 (KJV) 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.  To be without God is to be in a hopeless and spiritually lost state.  It is to be in […]

Being a Christian is a wonderful blessing.  It means that we have been born again (John 3:3-5).  It means that we are a part of God’s spiritual family, that is, we have become a part of the household of God (Ephesians 2:19).  Being a part of God’s household implies that we are children of God, […]

The aim of the Christian is very important.  It will determine which direction he goes as he travels through life.  If he has no real aim, he will eventually start to travel in the wrong direction, away from God, instead of nearer to Him.  If a Christian has a particular aim in life, one that […]

No one has forgiven more trespasses and sins than our heavenly Father.  His willingness to forgive accentuates His merciful nature and long-suffering when it comes to His dealings with us.  As long as our repentance is sincere after we sin, and we ask God for forgiveness, He will indeed forgive us. 1 John 1:9 (ESV) […]

There are those today, even in certain religious circles, who would deny the resurrection of Christ.  The Jesus Seminar, a controversial group that is supposed to look at the New Testament historically, claims that there is no evidence that the resurrection of Christ took place.  They say the passages in the New Testament that refer […]

As Christians, we are involved in a war with the devil.  The language of the New Testament affirms this to be true.  Paul told Timothy that “No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier” (2 Timothy 2:4).  All Christians […]

Fraternities and Sororities have been around for a long time.  Phi Beta Kappa Society was founded on December 5, 1776, at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, and was the first fraternal organization in the United States of America.  There were many more such societies to follow.  On December 4, 1906, Alpha […]
