“Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it” (Hebrews 13:2). Hospitality should be a trait of all Christians, because whenever we display it, we minister to the Lord. If you are a Christian, your responsibility to love others does not stop with fellow believers. The […]
“Let love of the brethren continue” (Hebrews 13:1). Genuine love among Christians is a testimony to the world, to ourselves, and to God. The importance of brotherly love extends well beyond the walls of your local church or fellowship hall. In John 13:35 Jesus says, “By this all men will know that you are My […]
“Let love of the brethren continue” (Hebrews 13:1). Christianity’s primary moral standard is love, especially for fellow believers. Love of other believers is a natural outflow of the Christian life and should be a normal part of fellowship within the church. This love, which is a gift from God’s Spirit, must be nurtured or it […]
“Let love of the brethren continue” (Hebrews 13:1). To be a testimony to the world, Christians need to live what they profess. The world read us more than the Bible and they take their notion of God from those who say they belong to God’s family. They see us; they only hear about Jesus Christ.” […]
“Walk . . . with all humility” (Ephesians 4:2). Humility is fundamental to spiritual growth and blessing. It’s no secret that family problems are on the rise. Unfortunately, most of the proposed solutions deal only with the peripheral issues instead of the central issue, which is pride. Humility is not only essential in families; it […]
“I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, entreat you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called” (Ephesians 4:1). Just as organizations, clubs and other groups have rules their members must follow, God has standards Christians must live by. Some people think belonging to the church is different. […]
“Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.” James 1:2 An incorrect understanding of this text may lead to the wrong conclusion. Lest we be thankful and joyous for the wrong things, James states in the verse following why […]
“God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name . . . that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord” (Philippians 2:9, 11). To receive Christ as Savior is to submit to His authority as Lord. Is Jesus Lord? According to the declaration of the Father, He […]
“God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name . . . that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord” (Philippians 2:9, 11). The Jesus who is Savior cannot be separated from the Jesus who is Lord. Scripture never speaks of any human being’s making Jesus Lord. […]
“God highly exalted Him” (Philippians 2:9). Christ is the Sovereign of the universe and a faithful High Priest. Christ was exalted not only in His resurrection and ascension, but also in His coronation. Mark 16:19 says, “……the Lord Jesus…..sat down at the right hand of God.” In Scripture the right hand is a symbol of […]
