Time
Time is a precious thing. None of us know just how much of it we have. No one knows what it holds, whether good or ill. With the changing of the years we are prone to think on these things more, perhaps, than at any other time of the year. The inspired penmen...
The Importance of Wisdom
We live in a world in which so many exercise little wisdom. It is no wonder that God said through John, “. . . the whole world lieth in wickedness.” God is not going to force us any of us to do the right things for He loves us enough to give us a choice (Joshua...
TBC After Dark
Friends, we live in perilous times, but we knew they would come, did we not? II Timothy 3:1 has already told us, “. . . in the last days perilous times shall come.” In the same context of verses 12 and 13, we are told, “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ...

The discussion among Christians these days often centers around the wickedness of the times in this country. The fact of its existence cannot be denied. Any departure from God is evil (Heb. 3:12), and will usually grow worse and worse without correction. Evil exists...
What if They Won’t Listen?
Ezekiel was a prophet of God. He lived at a dark time in Israel. When the Babylonians attacked Jerusalem in 605 B.C., Daniel and other Jews were deported to Babylon. Eight years later the Babylonians attacked Jerusalem again. This time Ezekiel and thousands of others...
Weightier Matters
King David did it while running for his life from King Saul (I Sam. 21:6). Jesus referenced it while reproving the Pharisees (Matt. 12:1-8). David the hero of old along with his band of misfits had in desperation eaten the shewbread for the purpose of sustenance—a...
A Disunited Denomination
The Methodist church, like all other denominations, began with a man. John Wesley and his brother Charles started a movement to reform the practices of the Church of England in the mid-1700s. The Church of England was a spinoff from the Roman Catholic Church which was...
