Watchmen for God

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Jehovah sent the prophet Ezekiel to be a watchman over the house of Israel. The use of the watchman ever has been the Lord’s method as he seeks to bring man to repentance and a right relationship. That pattern in no way changed in the New Testament. All Christians can and should serve as watchmen among the people of God.

In The News: Jon and Kate Plus 8

Monday, June 29th, 2009

We must be diligent to teach our children the sanctity of the marriage bond, and that to destroy that marriage either through infidelity or unlawful divorce is sin before God. “For the LORD God of Israel says That He hates divorce, For it covers one’s garment with violence,” says the LORD of hosts. “Therefore take heed to your spirit, That you do not deal treacherously” (Malachi 2:16).

From the Preacher’s Pen: Pure Minds

Monday, June 29th, 2009

The Search for Immortality

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

When we obey God and commit ourselves to service in Christ’s kingdom, we have answers to questions about the meaning of life and immortality. The preacher expressed both in Ecclesiastes 12:13-14. Verse 13 talks to the meaning of life, i.e. we will only have happy, fulfilled lives when we serve God completely. It is all that matters. Verse 14 explains why this is true; we will live forever, either with God or in everlasting punishment.

Tradition (Short Bulletin Insert)

The blind following of tradition can not only lead to absurd practices, but unscriptural ones, endangering our souls. Let us all know and understand the scriptural reasons behind all that we teach and practice.

Dreams

Monday, June 15th, 2009

Christ requires our complete devotion. Read His words on this subject from Revelation 3:16, “So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of my mouth.” Does it sound like Jesus will accept a half-hearted effort on our part? Choose life and truly live for Christ, because that’s what a righteous person does.
