Looking Unto Jesus - Raymond Elliott⁽⁶¹⁾
One of the fundamental lessons to be learned in playing golf is to keep your eye on the ball. This is easier said than done. In years past, I played this game each week. I received most of my instructions from a dear friend when I lived in the city of Ozark, Alabama. When I would look down the... ( added 2 years 292 days ago.)

Israel Of God Today - Raymond Elliott⁽⁶¹⁾
In Genesis 32:28, we read that Jacob's name was changed to Israel. The fleshly descendants of this great man became known as the twelve tribes of Israel, the Israelites, the children of Israel and the nation of Israel. We can read in the book of Joshua when these off-springs of Abraham, Isaac and... ( added 2 years 294 days ago.)

Will Faith Alone, Save You? - Joel Hendon⁽¹⁷⁸⁾
I would like to say first of all, that no one believes that faith is absolutely necessary for one to be saved eternally more than I do. But, I do take issue just as strongly, that it is not all that is necessary. Our faith must be strong enough to cause us to obey. Obedient faith is saving faith.... ( added 2 years 297 days ago.)

This World Has Many Choices: Eternity Only Has Two - Raymond Elliott⁽⁶¹⁾
The title of this article is found in the words of a religious song that I have heard over the radio several times. It is a moving song. One that really makes you think. God made man in His image and one likeness is that man has the ability to make choices in life. Adam and Eve made the wrong one... ( added 2 years 297 days ago.)

Ask Only For What You Actually Need - Joel Hendon⁽¹⁷⁸⁾
"And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place: and when thou hearest, forgive." (2 Kings 8:30) It is easy to understand why Solomon was in such good standing with God in his early... ( added 2 years 300 days ago.)

Early Morning Meditations: I Never Give Up - Raymond Elliott⁽⁶¹⁾
" So, because I hold a place in this ministry and that because I have had God’s mercy shown me, I never give up " (2 Corinthians 4:1; Charles B. Williams Translation). I use various translations in my daily Bible reading and as I was reading this passage from Williams translation, I... ( added 2 years 302 days ago.)

Early Morning Meditations: “In Everything Give Thanks” - Raymond Elliott⁽⁶¹⁾
In I Thessalonians 5:18 the apostle Paul wrote, “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” A preacher by the name of Martin Rinkhard wrote the lyrics of the song, “Now Thank We All Our God” to be used as an expression of gratitude by... ( added 2 years 305 days ago.)

Early Morning Meditations: When It Rains, It Pours - Raymond Elliott⁽⁶¹⁾
Well, many folk have prayed for rain because of the drought condition in the southeastern section of our country and the good Lord sent it. The problem was that some areas were flooded. I am reminded of the story of some brethren in west Texas who became greatly concerned about the extreme... ( added 2 years 306 days ago.)

How Much Have Men Changed in 2,000 Years? - Joel Hendon⁽¹⁷⁸⁾
In reading some ancient writings recently, I came upon some words from long ago that impressed me as being perhaps just about as fitting today as they were then. A man named Lactantius, lived from 260 AD to 330 AD. He was born a pagan and became fairly successful as an orator and professor... ( added 2 years 306 days ago.)

The Death Of A Child - Raymond Elliott⁽⁶¹⁾
First of all there was the news of the deaths of eight students in Enterprise, Alabama when a tornado destroyed their high school building. Then there was the bus accident in Atlanta, Georgia that took the lives of four college students as well as the bus drivers. Later it was learned... ( added 2 years 306 days ago.)

Who Would Want To Be Atheist? - Joel Hendon⁽¹⁷⁸⁾
Did you ever stop and wonder what it would be like to be an atheist, infidel, or what ever you may prefer to call them? It somehow seems to me to be a life as depicted by the comic strip character "Born Loser". It is a lose, lose situation. It is as a quote I read about Alexander Campbell once... ( added 2 years 307 days ago.)

Hearing But Not Believing - Raymond Elliott⁽⁶¹⁾
One of the frustrations experienced by preachers is knowing that the gospel has been taught, yet there have been no responses by the hearers to obedience. This may occur when sinners refuse to obey the gospel of Christ and/or when members of the church fail to comply with the teaching of... ( added 2 years 307 days ago.)

Beauties And The Beast (Death) - Raymond Elliott⁽⁶¹⁾
I read the obituary column in the local and area newspapers (online) practically every morning. This is a habit I developed over the years because my family and I have lived in various cities in the state and we know people in every location. In a humorous fashion I might say that I read the... ( added 2 years 308 days ago.)

Communal Living And The Christian - Joel Hendon⁽¹⁷⁸⁾
Communal groups are nothing new and have just about run the gamut of different religions, ideologies, and reasons for being such. As far back as times before Christ, there were Jewish groups who formed monasteries and lived in hermit-like groups, isolating themselves from the rest of the world... ( added 2 years 308 days ago.)

Jesus, The Great Physician - Raymond Elliott⁽⁶¹⁾
On the occasion of calling Levi to become His disciple Jesus associated with the publicans and sinners present, eating and drinking with them. This invoked the wrath of the self-righteous scribes and Pharisees. In answer to their criticism Jesus replied, “They that are in health have no... ( added 2 years 308 days ago.)

Sins From The Pride Of Life - Joel Hendon⁽¹⁷⁸⁾
It has been said that 1 John 2:16 covers all the reasons for sin. That may be true. "For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world." Virtually any sin you might think of comes from one of those... ( added 2 years 308 days ago.)

Is it an Auditorium Or A Sanctuary? - Raymond Elliott⁽⁶¹⁾
It is not uncommon to hear a brother mention in his prayer that “we are thankful to be able to come out to God’s house and worship. ” Also, you will hear from time to time a member of the church referring to that part of the building where the assembly of worship is conducted... ( added 2 years 309 days ago.)

Times Of Rejoicing - Raymond Elliott⁽⁶¹⁾
Whenever one reads the biblical accounts of some of the true stories of conversions to the Lord he cannot help but to note that there was great rejoicing. In Acts 2 the people on Pentecost who were baptized "praised God" (v. 47). The man from Ethiopia "went on his way rejoicing" after responding... ( added 2 years 310 days ago.)

What About Judging? - Raymond Elliott⁽⁶¹⁾
Our Lord Jesus Christ instructs us in this important matter as recorded in Matthew 7:1, 2: “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.” This passage of scripture is often... ( added 2 years 310 days ago.)

Can We Face Death Without Fear? - Joel Hendon⁽¹⁷⁸⁾
It is human nature to dislike the thought of death. Some people refuse to make final arrangements simply because they do not want to face the fact they are going to die sometime even though they know that it is coming. I know, I have lived a lengthy life and I have had a couple of close calls.... ( added 2 years 311 days ago.)

Always Faithful (Semper Fidelis) - Raymond Elliott⁽⁶¹⁾
It must have been a very emotional scene as the Marine Commandant visited the young men who lay wounded on their hospital beds following the terrible truck bombing of their barracks in Beirut on October 23, 1983. One young marine, who was critically wounded and could not talk because of the... ( added 2 years 312 days ago.)

Fluff in the Church, Snuff in the World and One Brave Pakistani - Rev M Bresciani⁽²⁾
The Bible predicts a great apostasia (apostasy) will precede the coming of the world’s last dictator called the antichrist. Don’t look now but we are well underway into that dreaded prophecy. Basic Bible doctrines are being abandoned at an alarming rate in mainline denominational... ( added 347 days 16 hours ago.)

EU and America Race to the Top of the Prophetic Ladder - Rev M Bresciani⁽²⁾
Thirty five years ago I watched people scratch their heads with a puzzled look on their faces when I told them that Europe would become a powerful nation around the turn of the century. When I addressed what would happen in the United States they listened but I may as well have been reciting... ( added 2 years 122 days ago.)

Belief and Unbelief - John Waddey⁽⁴³⁾
To believe or not to believe? that is the question. There are many good reasons for believing in God, a day of judgment and life beyond the grave. An all-wise and all-powerful God explains the origin of the universe, the wonderful diversity of life on the earth and the human race. A day of... ( added 2 years 244 days ago.)

Early Morning Meditations: GPS-God's Plan Of Salvation - Raymond Elliott⁽⁶¹⁾
I had thought that I might enjoy having one but I never dreamed that someone would give me a GPS but they did. Much to my surprise, some of my children gave me a GPS for a Christmas present. A son took charge of getting the thing ready for me to use in my car. He put the address of a local... ( added 2 years 298 days ago.)
