Since “God is love,” His children who have His nature should also manifest His love, because the children should be like the Father! Our love for others makes God’s love real and visible to them so we can better witness to them about Christ.

Accused of Connection with Beelzebub, Luke 11:14-36
Accused of Connection with Beelzebub, Luke 11:14-36
We are told here that a demonic was brought to Jesus, who cured him instantly and completely, so that the man, who had been terribly afflicted, was now no longer demon-possessed. Also, he was able to talk. It is not surprising that the crowd that witnessed this miracle was astonished.

Christian Rewards, 1 Corinthians 3.8-15
Christian Rewards, 1 Corinthians 3.8-15
Today, we are going to be studying the subject of Christian rewards. It’s something that we can all look forward to. I don’t know if you are aware that the Bible says that every child of God is going to receive a reward.

Another Lesson on Prayer, Luke 11:1-13
Another Lesson on Prayer, Luke 11:1-13
After watching Jesus pray, one of His disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray. It was the custom of our Lord to get alone to pray. One of His disciples must have overheard Him pray, and now had a desire to pray like Christ prayed. The disciple is not just asking how to pray. The Lord had given the Sermon on the Mount, and at that time He gave them what we call the Lord’s Prayer (Matt. 6:9-13) which outlined how one should pray. This disciple is not asking for a technique, a system, an art form, or a ritual to follow. It’s not a matter of how to do it, but he wanted to pray like Christ prayed.

Stand Up, You Dry Bones, Ezekiel 37.1-10
Stand Up, You Dry Bones, Ezekiel 37.1-10
We know that only the Holy Spirit can bring life to dead souls, so what should we do? Well, there are certain ways in which we can act properly toward God; and there are certain attitudes which it would be well for us to take up; and from these we may gain the approval of God and get His help with our case.

Harmony of the Gospels
Harmony of the Gospels
Christ tells us that there is only one thing needful; but He never really says what that one thing is. But if we look closely at the story in our text, I bettcha we can figure out what that one thing is.

Do You Love Me?, John 21: 15-17
Do You Love Me?, John 21: 15-17
Jesus was the same after His crucifixion, as He was before His crucifixion. Although, He had lain in the tomb, and descended into the place of the dead, and then retraced His steps back to the land of the living, He remained unchanged in His behavior and character. His death, and His resurrection, could not change His character as a man, any more than they could affect His distinctiveness as God the Son.
He is Jesus and He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.
