Moving Along
Well, it has been a little while since I have sat down and give an update of what is going on here. I figured since it is well off into the night, and I have a little more time to work on it, I might as well do that right now.
Well for starters, [...]

Drug Problems?
The other day, someone at a store in town read that a Methamphetamine lab had been found in an old farmhouse in the adjoining county and he asked me a rhetorical question, “Why didn’t we have a drug problem when you and I were growing up?
I replied, I had a drug problem when I was [...]

Protestant
Through the study of church history we discover that the majority of those Protestant churches that were started during, and as a result of, the 16th Century Reformation were formed as an effort to have and maintain pure doctrine from the Word of God in their worship.
Men such as Martin Luther were certainly great men [...]

Church Of Christ
The founder of this group was Mary Baker Glover Patterson Eddy. She was born on July 16, 1821, in Bow, New Hampshire, and was the youngest of six children. She was raised in a family of strict Calvinism but was never won to this belief herself. Her health was very poor; it interrupted her [...]

Proven Word
God’s Word has proven over and over again to be true! Nowhere does the Holy Bible discredit itself. But the Bible itself is not its only proof of validity. History has reaffirmed the fact that the Word of God is actually true. Through the avenues of science, we can see the validity of the [...]

Mormonism
Mormonism (also known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) was organized in 1830 in Fayette, New York. An angel named Moroni was supposed to have appeared to Joseph Smith, Jr., revealing to him the place where golden plates were buried which contained the history of ancient America.
Also, according to Mormon belief, Smith [...]

Roman Catholic
The Church has set up myriads of rites, rituals, and rules which its subjects (and I use the word advisedly) must follow if they are to have any hopes of reaching heaven someday (maybe even centuries after they die).
It is amazing but true that when a group is “off” on grace and works, almost every [...]

Jehovah’s Witnesses
CHARLES TAZE RUSSELL, born February 16, 1852, was the founder of the Jehovah’s Witnesses although the group was not called by that name during his lifetime.
As a young teenager, Russell belonged to the Congregational Church. He believed in and had a great fear of hell, but when he was only seventeen, a skeptic persuaded him [...]

Seventh-Day Adventism
Historical Background
William Miller is the forerunner of Seventh-Day Adventism, although the person most identified with the movement is Ellen G. White. In 1818 Miller, a New England farmer, predicted Christ was coming again on March 21, 1843. (This date was decided upon by interpreting the 2300 days of the prophecy in Daniel 8:14 as [...]

Atheist and Agnostic
I think it will be beneficial for us to change pace here for a little while and take a look at the different religions. When King Jesus built the church, and also being that the church is the “Body of Christ” tells us that there is ONE church, ONE Faith, and if religion was to [...]

Founder of Christianity
When “the fulness of the time” was come, God sent forth his only-begotten Son, “the Desire of all nations,” to redeem the world from the curse of sin, and to establish an everlasting kingdom of truth, love, and peace for all who should believe on his name.
In Jesus Christ a preparatory history both [...]

Simple Questions
If one were to ask you a simple question, would you be able to give an explicit answer? It seems our lives are built around answers to the questions of life or at least the seeking out of those answers aren’t as easily recognized as the questions are.
To the teenager, the question seems [...]

Ninth & Tenth Commandment
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife,
nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his cattle, nor anything that is his.
These two commandments are given quite exclusively to the Jews; nevertheless, in part they also concern us. For they do not interpret them as referring to unchastity or [...]

Eighth Commandment
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
Over and above our own body, spouse, and temporal possessions, we have yet another treasure, namely, honor and good report [the illustrious testimony of an upright and unsullied name and reputation], with which we cannot dispense. For it is intolerable to live among men in open [...]

Seventh Commandment
Thou shalt not steal.
After your person and spouse temporal property comes next. That also God wishes to have protected, and He has commanded that no one shall subtract from, or curtail, his neighbor’s possessions. For to steal is nothing else than to get possession of another’s property wrongfully, which briefly comprehends all kinds of [...]

Sixth Commandment
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
These commandments now [that follow] are easily understood from [the explanation of] the preceding; for they are all to the effect that we [be careful to] avoid doing any kind of injury to our neighbor. But they are arranged in fine [elegant] order. In the first place, they treat of [...]

Fifth Commandment
Thou shalt not kill.
We have now completed both the spiritual and the temporal government, that is, the divine and the paternal authority and obedience. But here now we go forth from our house among our neighbors to learn how we should live with one another, every one himself toward his neighbor. Therefore God and [...]
