Genesis 1:3-5

One cannot be sure as to the first questions that the children of Israel might have had about God, but surely the manner in which God created the heavens and the earth would have come up at the campfires with the pillar of fire in view. The absolute power of the God that brought them […]

Matthew 18:10 | Is it talking about guardian angels?

In Matthew 18:10, we read, “Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.” What does “that in heaven their (the child’s) angels do always behold the face of my Father […]

Genesis 2:15-17, Labor in the Bible

From the beginning it was never God’s intention that man be idle. Likely this extends from the nature of God himself. The creator works, so must the creation. The garden of Eden provided, not only provision for man, but an area of responsibility and labor. Today idleness has brought untold ruin on those who have […]

Genesis 3:6-7

Isn’t it amazing what the human race substitutes for the will of God? Notice some of the reasonings of Eve. Instead of continuing to remember God’s command she reasoned, “That looks tasty.” Instead of remembering the multitude of things that God had freely provided that she was authorized to eat, she thought, “How lovely it […]

Singing With An Audience

Dear Brother Watkins, Christian Greetings! I am writing to clarify something: Is it scripturally alright that a group (choir) of Christian perform a concert in front of a congregation using spiritual songs?

That Your Prayers Be Not Hindered

Husbands commit sin when they don’t treat their wives well. In Isaiah 59:1-2 we read, “Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he […]

Genesis 1:1-2

The children of Israel would have first heard of the Lord’s account of the beginnings of the universe and mankind out in the wilderness, perhaps during the two years after meeting with God at Mt. Sinai (Exodus 20) during which time the tabernacle was built and interest was high in the things of God. One […]

The Lord has created and arranged a home suitable for living creatures, a home with air to breathe, water to drink, food to eat, appropriate light and darkness and, for those creatures intelligent enough to make use of it, a means of marking time. Moses has taken great care to show that the God that […]

What Can I Do?

I remember in my youth playing little league baseball. To play a game there had to be players, coaches, umpires, statisticians, groundskeepers, announcers, fans, even someone to clean up afterward. Everyone seemed to be happy to do their job, even if it was remembering to bring the bubblegum. There’s no game with just players. As […]
