Last Lord's Day, we dealt with Romans 14:1-13 under the title "The Law of Liberty." By way of review and clarification, Romans 14 deals with matters of personal conviction and practice, which on their own are not sinful. Paul gave two examples of such convictions and practices. The first is the food we eat (Rom. … Continue reading Romans 14: The Law of Love

The Locusts Have Come
In the introduction of his commentary on the Minor Prophets, Brother Hailey wrote that "A study of the prophets will enrich the life of anyone who applies himself to learn their teaching…An understanding of how the prophets dealt with the religious, political, social, and moral corruptions in their day will give courage to the Lord's … Continue reading The Locusts Have Come
Romans 14: The Law of Liberty
In Ephesians 2:14-18, we read about how God reconciled not only sinners to Himself but also Jews and Gentiles together. God has and is calling for all peoples everywhere to repent and get into a right relationship with Him, and that is glorious! It is amazing that the Gospel can unite all peoples together. Regardless … Continue reading Romans 14: The Law of Liberty
The Words of the Preacher
On Monday nights, I’ve been having a study on the book of Ecclesiastes. Of the wisdom books of the Old Testament, it is my favorite. It is my favorite because Ecclesiastes asks, how shall we live then in a world that often makes no sense? It is only at the end of the book does … Continue reading The Words of the Preacher

In general, these laws protect anyone who renders aid in an emergency from any liability provided that the aid was one, provided in good faith. Two was done for no money or other consideration. And three, they were not grossly … Continue reading Go and Do Likewise

We will consider His Deity, His work in revelation, and how He guides us today. The Holy … Continue reading Who Is The Holy Spirit?
When We Assemble
We sing a hymn from time to time called "True Worship" (HFW #178). The hymn is a prayer to God to help us never lose sight of what is important in worship. God and giving praise to Him. But how do we praise Him? What are the acts that give praise to Him? The New … Continue reading When We Assemble
In Need of Milk
Our text for this morning is Hebrews 5:11-6:3. This text of scripture has been on my mind lately, so it has been the subject of a lot of my study. The text deals with a problem that many, if not all, Christians will deal with at some point in our lives—spiritual laziness. So let us … Continue reading In Need of Milk
