Let's Go Back to the Bible

Thought for the Day (Page 145)

“Hehe! He finally got what he deserved!”

It is definitely true that “whatever a man sows, that he will also reap” (Gal. 6:7). It is true agriculturally, and it is true personally. This works in two directions: one can reap good from some good he has sown, and one can reap evil from some evil he has sown. When we see someone “reap the evil that he had coming,”…

Who are you following?

When many of Jesus’ disciples turned and “walked with Him no more,” Jesus asked the apostles, “Do you also want to go away?” Peter responded, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life” (John 6:66-68). Great point! Why would I follow anyone other than Jesus? Why would I listen to any other words than “the words of…

“You’ve got something stuck in your teeth”

After telling someone some vitally important information that he needed to know, the person said to me, “You’ve got something stuck in your teeth.” Embarrassed, I removed the leafy item, and then came this question, “Now, what we’re you saying?” I had already explained everything he needed to hear in detail, but he hadn’t “heard” any of it. All he was doing…

Take it for what it says

The Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God! The evidence that points to this conclusion is solid and abundant–its unity, its factual accuracy, its scientific foreknowledge, its predictive prophecy and fulfillment. It has been given and preserved by the God of heaven Himself! Therefore, as finite creatures, how can we do anything else than just take it for what it says!…

Guard against ungodly influences

Take a moment and reflectively read the following character traits from Second Timothy 3. As you read them, answer the question, “Do you know any persons who have qualities like these?” People who are “lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of…

You’re missed when you’re not here!

This message is for every Christian! When you’re not at worship, we miss you! When you’re not at Bible study, we miss you! When you’re not at your home congregation, we miss you! Now, sometimes you’re traveling and hundreds of miles away when we meet for services. We wish you safe travels, and we miss you! Sometimes you’re way-too-ill to leave your…

Opening your mouth when you shouldn’t

Of Jesus’ twelve apostles, which of them do you believe opened his mouth most often when he shouldn’t have? Nine out of ten people would probably all answer that the same: Peter! For a number of reasons, he has secured that reputation. Consider one instance in particular. Peter, along with James and John, was on the mountain with Jesus, when the Savior…
