Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic

Coronavirus is an infectious disease that began in Wuhan, China in December 2019. Since then it has spread like wild fire across America and around the world. No country is immune from the disease. So many have suffered or died as a result. And the fatalities keep rising worldwide. Hospitals and healthcare facilities and staff have been overwhelmed to treat those that are affected. No one has ever seen anything of this magnitude in living memory. Although the elderly and people with pre-existing health issues are most vulnerable, this virus is no respecter of persons. No one, but no one […]

A single sacrifice for sins

“But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified” (Hebrews 10:12-14). The Bible tells us that the Lord Jesus Christ “offered a single sacrifice for sins,” And then “he sat down at the right hand of God.” This statement should gladden our hearts and strengthen our faith in the crucified One, who is now exalted at God’s right hand. It also […]

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ

The four gospels (Matthew 28:1-10), Mark 16:1-14), Luke 24:1-12), and John 20:1-18) present four narratives about the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Put together, they give us comprehensive details of Christ’s resurrection. Here is Matthew’s account of the order of events. “Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing […]

Human Suffering

Our world as we know it, is changing by the hour. Many of us are financially and emotionally stressed. During this time of the COVID-29 pandemic, perhaps some may be asking, why all this human suffering? On the other hand, it might be hard to fathom why does God permit human suffering especially when good people also suffer? This seems to be fair and logical observations, especially as people are suffering and people are dying with no end in sight.  Suffering has always been a natural part of human existence. And suffering comes in various forms. For example; trials, difficulties, […]

Justification

Human beings were created in “God’s image and likeness” (Genesis 1:26,27). However, sin came into the world through the disobedience of the very first human being God created with the result that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). This required divine intervention by God to reconcile man to Himself.  God is holy, just, and righteous, and is “of purer eyes than to see evil and cannot look at wrong” (Habakkuk 1:13). Therefore, God acted to restore the fellowship man once had with God by providing His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, who “For our sake he made him […]

Are you like Abraham?

“For what does the Scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was counted him as righteousness.” (Romans 4:3). This is a most important question that pertains to everyone.  Why? Because it has “eternal”l consequences. In his letter to the Christians at Rome, the apostle Paul refers us back to Genesis 15:6 where the Bible says this about Abraham, “And he believed the LORD, and he counted it to him as righteousness.” (Genesis 15:6). Paul also makes reference to this statement in his letter to the Galatians “Just as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” (Galatians 3:6). We also read, “and the […]

Giving thanks to God

How thankful are we as a people? Is it only on the annual “Thanksgiving Day” in November? Shame on us if that’s the case. Giving thanks to God should be an integral part of daily life. Are you listening atheists? Each morning we get awake, no one knows for sure what lies ahead that day. Life as we know it, is one of the most uncertain things in the world. Therefore, we should give God thanks for sparing our lives to see another day.  Tomorrow may not come. God says, “Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into […]

Is Your Joy Showing?

Joy is the feeling of immense pleasure and delight that is unchanged irrespective of circumstances. Joy is the theme of the apostle Paul’s letter to the Philippians. Joy and rejoicing occur no less than sixteen times throughout the letter. Joy is one of the graces of the “fruit of the Spirit” (Galatians 5:22,23), which is a result of the Christian’s vital union with the Lord Jesus Christ.  The letter to the Philippians was one of four letters Paul wrote while he was incarcerated in Rome. The other three letters are Ephesians, Colossians, and Philemon. In Philippians, Paul made this classic exhortation […]

WHY ATTEND CHURCH?

There is a real and positive purpose for attending “Church.” The Church is not a building of any kind. Instead, the Church is the “bride” or “body” of the Lord Jesus Christ. “Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her” (Ephesians 5:25). “And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the first born from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent.” (Colossians 1:18). As a result, the Church is an assembly of professed believers in Jesus Christ.  The first indication of the Church is set forth in the Scriptures. “How […]
