Questions and answers relating to Christian conduct
Would You Wish To See Jesus ? It’s recorded in John 12, verse 21, that some people said to the apostle Philip; “Sir, we would see Jesus.” How many of you would like to see Jesus? I hope you’d like to, because the bible says, your gonna. The bible says everyone’s gonna see Him. Revelation 1, verse 7 tells us; “Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and…
The Gift of Tongues The new testament records instances, of various people speaking in tongues. “Tongues” means “languages”. And when people spoke in these languages which they had never been taught, it was a sign from God, that the person speaking in these languages, was speaking God’s word. In other words, they were speaking the truth! And their ability to speak in tongues, was proof,…
Now That You’re A Christian, Now what? The apostle Paul wrote, in Galatians 2, verse 20; “I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. And the life that I live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered Himself up for me.” When you become a Christian, there needs…
John 8, verses 2 thru 11 I’d like to read to you a short bible story about Jesus, and the scribes and the Pharisees, and an adulterous woman. The reading is from John chapter 8, verses 2 thru 11. Follow along in your own bible if you’d like. “Then early in the morning, again He came into the temple (The outer courtyard of the temple, is no doubt is…
Karma.. I hear a lot of people talking about Karma these days. They say, what goes around, comes around; In other words, someday you’re going to get treated the same way you treat other. People say; I don’t worry about getting revenge, I just let Karma take it’s course. But that’s really not what the notion of Karma originally refers to. Karma has it’s origin in Hinduism. …
Are Christians Expected to Gather Together for Worship? It is common for Christians to assemble together on the first day of the week to worship God. We’re instructed to come together for worship, and in the bible, we’re given the example of first century Christians coming together for worship. The entire fourteenth chapter of 1 Corinthians deals with the subject of coming together for worship. Verse 19 says; …
But You Can’t Take The Country Out Of The Boy You’ve heard that saying haven’t you? “You can take the boy out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the boy.” You can change that around, and you could say; You can take the boy out of the city, or you can take the girl out of the city, or you can take…
Do You attend Worship to be Edified, or to be Gratified? I think a lot of people attend worship for the wrong reasons. First of all, our worship is something that we are giving God. It’s not something we’re supposed to be giving to ourselves. Jesus reminds us in Luke 4, verse 8, that “It is written; You shall worship the Lord your God, and serve…
It Feels Good To Worship God! Some things just make us happy, don’t they? And for a Christian, it should make us happy, to worship God. If you love God, why wouldn’t you be glad to worship Him? Why wouldn’t it feel good to pray to Him? Why wouldn’t it feel good to be with God? Of course, we don’t have to be in a worship…
God’s Word Calls For Unity We should all be familiar with 1 Corinthians 1, verse 10, but let me read it to you; “Now I exhort you brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and there be no divisions among you, but you be perfectly joined together, in the same mind, and in the same judgment.” I…
Crucified With Christ The apostle Paul wrote, in Galatians 2, verse 20; “I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. And the life that I live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered Himself up for me.” Can you say that about yourself? Can you…
The Peril of Unbelief Unbelief might be the most dangerous thing there is. Hebrews 3, verses 12 and 13 speak of the peril of unbelief. Here’s what it says; “Take care brethren, lest there should be in any one of you, an evil unbelieving heart, in falling away from the living God. But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is called today,…
Your First Day In Heaven If you’re a Christian, there’s not one reason that you shouldn’t sing and be happy, today, and every day! The promise of eternal life in heaven with God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, should override every care and concern that we might have in this life. Just look at the joy, and the emotion, on the face…
Does God Need to be Served? Acts 17, verses 24 & 25 tell us; “The God who made the world, and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Neither is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all, life and breath and all things.” God…
Bible Authority The subject of bible authority, is one of the most important subjects that there is when it comes to our faith, and to our conduct as Christians. But most people don’t realize and appreciate, just how important it really is. I think that one of the reasons for that is because most people don’t take individual verses and passages seriously enough. People read…
“On The First Day of the Week When We Gathered Together..” This article is for every Christian who has ever wondered about the question; Is it a sin to miss just one, first day of the week, worship assembly of the church? The answer to that question depends upon the reason, for missing one worship assembly. No one is immune from sickness, and so it’s obvious that at some time…
Human Ignorance Abounds Proverbs 1, verse 7 says; “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. But fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Some people actually despise God’s instructions. And the majority of the rest, simply don’t feel they have any need for it. It’s not that people don’t want to have knowledge, it’s just that all they want is worldly knowledge. They don’t want…
There’s a Battle Going On! There’s a battle going on, but it’s not a physical battle. It’s a battle between good and evil. Some people think that God is involved in a battle, but He isn’t. There’s no battle, that God Himself is involved in, nor has God ever been involved in a battle of any kind. You believe that God is all-powerful, don’t you? Psalm 115:3 …
Should We be Afraid of God? You’re probably aware, that the old testament has a lot to say about fearing God. As a matter of fact, phrases like “the fear of God” or “the fear of the Lord” appear over 80 times in the old testament. The new testament doesn’t say that nearly as often, but it does say it at least another 10 times. And…
Teach Us To Pray Bible Reading: Mathew 6, verses 5 thru 15 “And when you pray, you are not to be as the hypocrites.

But when you pray, go into your inner room,…
