God's Everlasting Word

Most people who claim to follow the Christian religion are familiar with the word, “gospel”. It’s referred to many times within the pages of the New Testament...but some people follow what we might call an “Unwritten Gospel.” What does that mean? What does the Bible say?

I’m sure all of us have, at one time or another, wondered how long we have on this earth...and when our lives will be over. But there’s a much more important question than that. What will be the conclusion of each one of us AFTER we die and pass from this life? That question is posed in First Peter 4, verse 17, when the apostle Peter asked, “What shall the end be?” What does the Bible say?

Many people say they want nothing but "old-time religion." And since so much is said about it (and there’s even a song sung about it), maybe we need to go back and examine the religion of men at different times and under different environments, and see if people of today really want it. What IS "old time religion?" What does the Bible say?

Most people have a genuine sympathy and concern over someone who is blind. In addition to not being able to see the many beautiful things bestowed upon us in this life by God, the person who is physically blind often finds it difficult to deal with everyday challenges because of his or her handicap. But the blindness under discussion in today’s lesson is far more detrimental than that which pertains to the body. You might call it spiritual myopia. What is that and why is it a problem? What does the Bible say?

How many times have you heard a preacher referred to as, "Reverend"? You know, someone will introduce their preacher as, "Reverend so-and-so." Or, a preacher will refer to himself as "Reverend," or in a lot of cases, "Pastor." Is there anything wrong with this...and, if it is, why is it wrong? What does the Bible say?

Usually, the last words a person says are considered important…and if they come from someone we love, very dear. In the Bible, we have the last words of Joshua, in Joshua 24:15…the last words of David are found in First Kings 2:1-3…we can also read the last words of the apostle Paul, over in Second Timothy 4:6-8. But what were the last words ever spoken by Jesus Christ, and what do they mean for us today? What does the Bible say?

When it comes to asking God for anything, we may have, at times, paused and asked ourselves what we should actually pray for. Are there certain things we should always ask of God? And how are we supposed to pray? We may feel like the Lord’s disciples felt, as recorded in the 11th chapter of Luke, verse 1, when they said, “Lord, teach us to pray.” So, for what should we pay and how should we do it? What does the Bible say?

There is no doubt that the topic of homosexuality is at the forefront of both the political world and the religious world. It’s all over the place in our society today and there’s much discussion about how people are supposed to deal with it. But, as Christians, we’re only concerned with what God thinks about it.

The Lord’s church has dealt with problems on the local level for many, many years...and a lot of those same problems still exist today. But if we were to give a diagnosis of the main illness effecting the Lord’s body in the 21stcentury, including a growing number of churches and their members, I would say, “anemia”...or more accurately, “spiritual anemia.” So, when it comes to spiritual anemia, what are some of the symptoms and how do we deal with it? What does the Bible say?

Many people obey the gospel…but, just like the children of Israel, fewer remain faithful, even in light of such passages as Matthew 10:22, which says, "he that endureth to the end shall be saved." Or Revelation 2, verse 10, which has Jesus saying, "Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." And when we see the dangers of unfaithfulness, I think all of us might need to ask ourselves, "Can the Lord call me faithful?"... and to realize the need to understand the topic of today’s episode.
