A Poem By John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892)

We search the world for truth. We cull

The good, the true, the beautiful,

From graven stone and written scroll,

And all old flower fields of the soul;

And, weary seekers of the best,

We come back laden from our quest,

To find that all the sages said

Is in the Book our mothers read.

A Distinguishing Trait of a True New Testament Church

Image
  by Robert Gessner (1930-2014) The church is not ashamed to bear the reproach of Christ. "For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus; for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews" (1 Thess. 2:14).      It is not the name of a local church that distinguishes it as being a pattern of the New Testament. The church may have a very unique title such as "The New Testament Church of Jesus Christ" and yet it may not follow the pattern displayed in the New Testament. It is not even the creed formulated by a local church that gives it the distinction of being patterned after the New Testament. The creed, as far as it goes, may be very true to New Testament theology, and yet the church may be far from meeting in a New Testament manner. Obviously, no church would meet New Testament credentials if it did not teach the basic truths of the New Testament; however, it is not just ...

The Christian and Politics

Image
“No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.”    2 Timothy 2:4 You would think that after reading a verse like that, no further commentary would be necessary concerning politics or many other matters.  However, in light of increasing involvement of professing Christians in politics it has become necessary to expound more specifically this and other texts related to our subject.       First of all, every true Christian is a soldier and servant of the Lord, and like it or not, is engaged in warfare.  And one reason why so many don’t even show up in the fight, or wage an ineffective spiritual warfare, being unable to “fight the good fight of faith,” is their entanglements.  This world system, (gr. kosmos), organized and headed by the devil, dedicated to the purpose of keeping men happy without God, dangles before Christians various lures of entanglement. Politi...
