Teaching Contrasts in 1, 2 Timothy and Titus
The letters to Timothy and Titus have a lot to say about what good Bible teaching is. They also have a lot more to say about what bad Bible teaching is. The contrast between the two is interesting and worth studying for all would teach God's word.
Devoted to The Apostles Teaching
On the day of Pentecost, after the 3,000 were baptized, we read that "they were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the break of bread and to prayer" (Acts 2:42). The first part of this verse is what we want to focus on this morning. What does it mean to … Continue reading Devoted to The Apostles Teaching
The Sin of Lying
Today's post is an article written by Dee Bowman. I honestly believe that the most commonly committed sin is that of lying. Which of us has not, at one time or the other, told an outright lie? Oh, we dress it up and say it was simply “an untruth,” but when the finish with which … Continue reading The Sin of Lying
Questions About Bible Baptism

The question is, for all of us, are we doing a good job of that? Do we bring with … Continue reading Practical Peacemaking
A Prince Has Fallen
This past week Dee Bowman, faithful Christian and preacher, left this life and went on to his reward. While I never had the privilege of meeting him, I have benefited greatly from his sermons and articles. For today's post I want to share one of Dee's articles for your reading.
More Faithful In Prayer
Our preaching theme for the year has been faithfulness. We have examined what faithfulness is, exploring its roots in the character of God, as well as a study on faithfulness applied with the parable of the talents. We now want to turn our attention to applications in our theme. In Romans 12:12 NIV, we read, … Continue reading More Faithful In Prayer
All That the Lord Says
Many people treat the Bible, and God's commands, like it is a buffet. I'll get a little of this and that and avoid all the vegetables that I don't like. However, is that the attitude we are supposed to have when it comes to serving God? I would suggest to you this morning that we … Continue reading All That the Lord Says
