Why Should We Worship?

WORSHIP ARTICLE
Marshall McDaniel | Wentzville, Missouri

Why should we worship God? That is a good question, not to be dismissed quickly or ignored. Billions around the world worship some deity, while others do not. Among atheists there is a growing number who question the rationale and sanity of God-worshipers: “What kind of self-serving, egotistical God,” they ask, “would demand people to grovel at His feet?” Such an understanding of God and of worship demonstrates an ignorance of the true God and worship. Worship is an appropriate, humbling-but-not-humiliating response to the nature and character of God Himself.

So, why should we worship God? Read More →

The Way Of Escape

APPLICATION ARTICLE – A Practical Application of 1 Corinthians 10:13
Josh Welch | Kokomo, Indiana

Mankind’s ultimate enemy is, the “one who deceives the whole world,” Satan (Revelation 12:9). The ultimate choice we face between Satan’s allurements and God’s commands is the process of “temptation” (James 1:13-15). The ultimate result of our failure to obey God’s law is sin (1 John 3:4). The ultimate consequence of the impenitent, unforgiven sinner is an eternity in hell (Romans 6:23; Matthew 10:28). Our ultimate response is that we ought to be vigilant when temptation comes our way and seek God’s means to cure the sin problem (1 Peter 5:8). Read More →

Learning Evangelism From The Master

EVANGELISM ARTICLE – John 4
William Stewart | Kingston, Ontario

The salvation of souls and the growth of local congregations depends upon evangelistic work. Of the masses, Paul inquires, “…how shall they hear without a preacher?” (Romans 10:14). Paul is not talking about some clergy class who are distinct from the average believer. Such an idea is foreign to the New Testament. The word preacher is not an ecclesiastical title, but describes an activity. The word means “to herald … proclaim, publish” (Strong’s). In Acts 8, we find persecution against the church at Jerusalem caused the saints to scatter. We’re told “…those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word” (verse 4). It’s a different Greek word (lit. good messenger), but the result is the same – telling people about Jesus Christ. If you are a child of God, then you are called to preach. Your pulpit? Day-to-day life. Read More →

Grow In Grace

BEYOND THE BASICS
Brian Sullivan | Bancroft, Ontario

Grace is a very popular topic in today’s religious world. Often it is expressed as some vague, indefinable freedom or liberty. Some see it as a cloud-like substance that can be packaged and repackaged to suit the needs of the moment. The child of God is more interested in what the Bible has to say about it, and how the Bible defines it. Read More →
