From the very day of its establishment, the Lord’s church erupted like a blast of dynamite in the first century world of the Roman Empire (Acts 2:41; Acts 4:4; Acts 5:14; Acts 8:1,4).

In Hebrews 1:14 we read, “Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?” The context of this remark is in reference to comparing Jesus with God’s angels. The authority of […]

In the early morning hours of Saturday, December 20th, my beloved and aged mother (she was 87) passed from this life to be with the Lord (Philippians 1:23). As I reflected back on her godly life, I pondered over the thought of what it means to die. Contrary to popular

A querist asks, “My friend and I were having a conversation the other day on whether or not cursing is a sin. He said that curse words were made to mean what they do by society. I was wondering if there is any biblical information on this topic and if it is sinful.” So we […]

Other than for some unusual difficulty in our lives, the answer to the above question can be found in our attendance/participation in services and gatherings that are designed to promote worship, unity, edification and/or encouragement.
