The 2021 theme for the fourth page of TRUTH is “What Christians Do for One Another.” This month, we are studying the concept of Christians showing hospitality to one another. As observed before, the New Testament repeatedly speaks of Christianity in terms of “one another” considerations and actions. Christians do, in fact, have certain obligations […]

In Ephesians 4:3, Paul admonishes the brethren to endeavor “to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” Then in the next 41 words (35 in Greek), Paul gives the guidebook for attaining and maintaining unity. We refer to it as “the seven ones.” One of the seven, is “one Spirit” (Ephesians […]
Though we have heard, read, and taught about the conversion of an Ethiopian eunuch countless times, it still thrills us to contemplate that great occasion! We want to focus on what Philip did as he reached out to a man who was in charge of a queen’s treasury. Philip had an obedient spirit. When the […]
As a follow-up to last month’s article dealing with the deadly doctrine of “Salvation by Faith Only,” we want to consider the widespread false teaching that water baptism is not essential to salvation. If one does not give the scriptural answer to the question, “What must one do to be saved,” that is a serious […]
Some officers of the Jews admitted, “No man ever spoke like this Man!” (John 7:46). Amen! The Lord Jesus truly was the greatest teacher in history. As a person, the Christ was sinless (Hebrews 4:15). As a communicator, His ability to connect with people and express the truth is unmatchable. We stand in awe of […]
The Lord wants Christians to “be there” for one another. That includes being prepared to comfort one another, as it is written: “Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing” (1 Thessalonians 5:11). According to that statement, the brethren in Thessalonica already had the practice of comforting one another. […]
The Bible helps mankind understand spiritual concepts through earthly terms. Jesus taught in parables, which are often described as an earthly story with a heavenly meaning. This is especially beneficial as God wants us to understand the wonderful church that He created and that was bought with the precious blood of His Son. As Paul […]
Throughout the book of Acts, we often read about the apostles’ activities in Jerusalem. In this brief look at their evangelistic efforts in the Jews’ most revered city, we will be focusing on the message of Acts 3-6. The apostles proclaimed the gospel to common people (Acts 3:11-13), as well as to religious leaders (5:27-32). […]
The 2021 theme for this second page of TRUTH, “Dealing with Deadly Doctrines,” continues this month with a look at the dangerous, false teaching of salvation by faith only. The concept of any human’s salvation coming from mere faith in God is wholly unbiblical in any dispensation of time, and such will be shown to […]
Before He went to the cross to become our Savior, Jesus was a teacher. What Jesus taught was the gospel/good news for every generation! His message is described as “the words of eternal life” (John 6:68). What was the essence of Jesus’ message to the world? Everything He said was significant . . . every […]
