Discipline makes your britches fit
by Matt Clifton
There was big trouble in little Israel. Seems God’s chosen people had gotten a little too big for their britches, as the old saying goes. The prophet Amos was delivering a message from God, and things weren’t looking too good.

Once upon a time there was a woman who had been bitten by a rabid dog, and since she neglected to go to the doctor in time, she was advised by her physician to write her last wishes, since it was very possible that she could die from rabies. She spent so long [...]
Baptism into Christ
by Matt Clifton
The subject of baptism has confused many believers in Christ over the years. It is not the teachings of the Bible, however, that have caused this confusion, but rather man’s various “interpretations” of biblical teaching that is the source of the difficulty. When we take the sum total of what the Bible teaches [...]
Confessing Christ before men

Jesus caused a lot of friction in His earthly ministry, especially among the prevailing Jewish groups of that day. The biggest issue was that Jesus claimed to be the Messiah, and most of the Jews were not ready to accept Him as such. In John 9:22, we read that “the Jews had already [...]

There is no more important question you will face in your life than this one. Will you be among those who will enjoy eternal peace?
Jesus tells us that not everyone who says “Lord, Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but rather those who do His will will enter (Matt. 7:21). But what [...]
Don’t forget to ask!
by Matt Clifton
There are a lot of instructions in the Bible on how to obtain things from God. James says if we desire wisdom, to ask God, but to ask in faith (James 1:6). He also tells us that we have to ask with the correct motives (James 4:3). John tells us that whatever we [...]
