Ant Article
Several weeks ago when the weather turned a bit wetter, we suddenly developed a somewhat sizeable, in-house ant problem. A couple of places were soon ‘crawling’ with them. It was at that point that we learned about these little ‘killer’ liquid ant baits. The way they work, is that the sickly sweet liquid draws the…

In All These Things, We are MORE THAN CONQUERORS (The reviews are in!)
Do you struggle with discouragement, disappointment, difficult and oft-times overwhelming situations and decisions in your daily life? So did the apostle Paul (2 Cor. 11:23–12:8). And yet, as we see in verses 9 and 10 of that same chapter, as well as in Philippians 4, he had learned the secret of sincerely rejoicing and being…

Haunted Houses; Lifeless Lives
You see them all over town — empty, vacant, hollow and haunted-looking. Of what am I speaking? The now darkened and deserted houses that dot the town’s geography where formerly happy families once lived, laughed, loved, played and worked? No. I speak of something far more sinister, saddening, and soul-wrenching. I speak of the empty,…

One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism
How difficult is the concept of ‘ONE’ to really understand? Ephesians 4:1–6, written by the divinely-inspired Apostle Paul (Eph. 1:1; 2 Tim. 3:16–17) to the first-century congregation of the church of Christ (Rom. 16:16) that worked and worshiped together in Ephesus (Acts 20:17–38; Eph. 1:1, 3:8–12; Rev. 2:1–7), has been the subject of countless millions, probably even billionsI…

Just "Playing" At Church

The GREATer Sin
We have a tendency to believe and teach that all sin is the same; that “sin is sin” as the old saying goes. And we do so for the most part, with pretty good reason. For example, we explain: ‘The Scripture lists such sinners as “gossips” and “slanderers,” right alongside and in the very same…

The Great Easter Verse Hunt (Epilogue); 2016 Calendars
Ah, the incredible inconsistencies one has to try to make at least some sort of sense of when seeking to follow man-made religions! How much simpler and easier life would be for all of us if we all sought to only follow the same pattern of religion as the first century churches of Christ (Romans…

The Great Easter Verse Hunt
Most Bible-professing Protestants are quite shocked when they eventually discover that “Easter” isn’t even in the Bible. It is never found in any of the more modern, dependable, strictly literal translations, and actually only occurs once in the King James version (Acts 12:4), wherein the word is a 1611 substitution — not translation — for…
