    “FAITHFUL” ABBY By Jeff Grimes

    Members of the church here at Sasser automatically recognize the name Abby, and for good reason. Abby is one of our most “faithful members.” Sunday morning, Sunday night, and even on Wednesday night, Abby can be counted on to be here. The only time I can remember Abby missing an assembly of the church was due to a car accident. You see; Abby lost one of her legs due to this unfortunate accident. It was touch and go for a while, but after days in the ...

    "The Bible Tells Me So" By Jeff Grimes

    My son Keith often leads, what is no doubt one of the all time favorite in children’s songs, “Jesus Loves Me.” We are all familiar with the words— “Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so….” When singing these familiar lines are we conscience of the great truth they express?

    In fact, if it were not for the Bible, how would we know Jesus loves us? Would it be possible to study the stars and come to such ...

    “Moderates in the Church” by Jeff Grimes

    Those of us who watch the cable news channels, or the network news broadcast often here the word “moderate” used. The political pundits are especially fond of labeling certain politicians as “moderate.” A moderate politician's speeches will be spoken in such a way as not to offend either those on the “right”, or those on the “left.” He never takes a stand on any particular issue; after all, he is seeking votes. He is interested in his approval ...

    “HE TORE UP THE CHURCH” By Jeff Grimes

    Through the years, and even recently, I have heard this phrase a number of times. It got me to thinking. What does it mean when someone says, “He tore up the church?”

    As a general rule it is intended to cast the person named as “tearing up the church” in a bad light. And there are instances where such a person should be looked on with distain. In Third John vs. 9, John identifies Diatrephes as one who had “tore up the church.” ...

    Waiting for Sisera
    Sisera, the great Canaanite army general, met defeat at the hands of God’s Judge Deborah and Barak, leader of Israel’s army. In Judges 4:7, God decreed the death of the enemy.

    To avoid capture and execution, Sisera fled to the tent of Heber the Kenite, his friend. For Sisera, however, there was no escape. He couldn’t run and hide from God’s justice. Heber’s wife Jael killed Sisera by driving a tent peg through his head while the great general slept.

    Thank you and hello everyone. Welcome to the program sponsored by your friends at the Arkland Church of Christ. I say friends because these people love and are concerned about your eternal destiny. They love you and want to help.

    Have you ever thought how much we’re influenced by the way people think? Philosophies have influenced mankind for centuries. It is said Alexander the Great was tutored by a philosopher, Aristotle. Philosophers, like John Locke were at the heart of the ...

    “Members of the Church of Christ think they’re the only ones going to Heaven”

    by Keith Camp


    Several years ago, during a Bible study I was conducting on how a person is saved, a denominational preacher blurted out: “You and your little group believe you’re the only ones going to Heaven, don’t you?! You think that everybody who doesn’t believe and practice your convictions is going to Hell. Well, let me tell you, the Bible doesn’t teach that! And I’ll never ...

    theWord Bible Software theWord Bible software is a competitor to e-Sword. Both are free, but theWord offers more functionality and offers the Apostolic Bible Polyglot - English only text of Greek - English Interlinear. I find this extremely useful. There are several other free tools available for download. NKJV will cost you $12.95, which is slightly less expensive than the same translation via e-Sword.

    Impala Christians

    The Impala is an amazing creature that has a vertical leap of more than 10 feet and can jump an amazing 30 feet.

    With such abilities, one would think zoos would have to take extraordinary measures to build enclosures to keep these nearly airborne creatures inside the zoo, but they don’t. It seems the Impala will not execute its amazing jumps unless it can see where it’s going to land. So, zoos only have to build a six-foot wall to keep the animals ...

    From day to day we are presented with certain situations that try our faith. A proving ground of sorts. Opportunities for us to display where our treasure lies and what we value. Often these situations are small, many times they are between ourselves and God. Seemingly private things, such as upon what our eyes gaze or upon what our mind ponders. Many times those things pass by the notice of others. So we prove our faith to our God and Him alone.

    Other times, however, we are presented ...

    The Scriptures teach us that neither our own meritorious works nor works of the Law will earn us entrance into heaven...

    Ephesians 2:7-9 That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through the faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

    Salvation is clearly the gift of God's grace, as it is not from us. Paul is not ...

    In Deuteronomy chapter 4:2, Moses said, "Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you." Later in verse 32 of chapter 12 of the same book, he said, "What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it."

    In Proverbs 30:5-6, the Bible says, "Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them ...

    2. What Must I Do To Be Saved?

    For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) One of the most quoted verses in the Bible.

    Do we truly understand what "believeth in him" means? We must believe in the Son, "in Christ", who is the Son. Believing is not simply a mental assent, as in "I believe that Christ is Jesus and He is the Son of God" or "I believe that Christ died for my ...

    Analysis of Obedience

    We are taught in scripture that only those who do the will of the Father in heaven will enter the kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 7:21). Obedience to the will of God is therefore a life and death matter for the Christian who would live his or her life in pleasing manner before God. Jesus went on to teach the parable of the wise and foolish builders in Matthew 7, starting in verse 24. He said, "Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, ...

    e-Sword Home e-Sword is a very popular Bible software program that competes with theWord. It has been around for a number of years. It was what I used for several years prior to discovering theWord. You can try both and see which you like the best, both are very good. NKJV will cost you $14.99, which is slightly more with e-Sword than it does with theWord, but many free translations are also available.

    The traditions and practices relevant to Christmas have been celebrated religiously and secularly for thousands of years. Since about the fourth century many Christians have celebrated Christmas as the day Jesus Christ was born, marking the birth of Christ as a religious ceremony. The pagan festivals for which many of the traditions of Christmas originate reach back several thousand years. Some of the most popular customs today include decorating Christmas trees, sharing meals with family and ...
