Your Life as a Vapor

Your Life as a Vapor

“Come now, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit’; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. Instead you ought to say, ‘If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.’ But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not d

Noah: Moving With Godly Fear

Noah: Moving With Godly Fear

“By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.” — Hebrews 11:7 Soon after God created man and put him on earth, man corrupted it.

If Everyone Were Like Me

If Everyone Were Like Me

“Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ” — I Corinthians 11:1 No two people in the Lord’s church are the same. We have different personalities; we come from different backgrounds. We’ve all been blessed by God with different gifts and abilities. But we come together for a common cause, with a common goal, as we walk in unity (Eph. 4:4-6).

Seeking the Lost

Seeking the Lost

“For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” — Luke 19:10 We all know what it’s like to be lost, where we can’t find our way home or to a certain destination. It’s one thing, though, to be turned around and lost on the road. But it’s another thing to be lost spiritually, where the end is destruction (Rom. 6:23). The Bible describes two types of people: Those who have been saved by the blood of Jesus Christ, and those who are lost. Just like Jesus’ m

What Baptism Does and Does Not Do

“Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” —Romans 6:4 The Bible is crystal clear on the subject of baptism. Sadly, though, the majority of the religious world says baptism isn’t necessary. It’s a good thing, but it’s just an extra thing. It’s an outward sign of inward grace. But please listen: IT IS NECESSARY. It’s necessary because Go

'Don't Ever Give Up'

“But Simon Peter answered Him, ‘Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.’” —John 6:68 If you’re a sports fan, you know the name Jim Valvano. He was the men’s basketball coach at North Carolina State for 10 years, and led the Wolfpack to the national championship in 1983. Ten years later, Valvano lost his battle to cancer, dying at the age of 47. But before he passed away, Valvano made a memorable speech at the ESPYs, which included his famous words: “Don
