The Christian Family

Carl Knott

The name “Christian” does not mean much in the world anymore,
except maybe “not Buddhist” or “not Muslim,” or something like that.
But taking its original and long forgotten meaning, “Christ-one,” a follower of
Jesus Christ, we ask, “What makes a family a Christian family?” How can we tell
one when we see it? Are there distinctive features that will help us pick out of a group
of families those that are Christian? How about our homes, how can we discern if they are
really Christian?

The Jewish Calendar Questions

No Comments on The Jewish Calendar Questions

Recently, a friend asked me when the 7 Feasts occured in the Jewish
Calendar. The question came up because we were taking a look at the Day
of Pentecost and how long Christ was on Earth. We’ve both been in
enough meetings where we knew that 50 days after the Passover was the
Day of Pentacost….but what did that mean?

It meant we had assimilated information without verifying the facts.

Taking Things Patiently

F. B. Meyer

What glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall
take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this
is acceptable with God.”? (1?Peter 2:20)

The servants here addressed were the household servants and
slaves, so largely employed in the great establishments of that age. Wealth and position
made special boast of the vast number of dependents that were maintained. Life was held
cheaply enough; and when a slave was once purchased, he cost little to keep. The Roman
empire swarmed with bondmen; and they became her ruin.

No Comments on Directions for Young Christians

Walter Scott

1. Make the Holy Scriptures your sole authority for your justification, forgiveness,
and hope of glory (Rom. 5:1; 1 John 2:12; Col. 1:27).

2. Make the Bible your daily companion, and prayer, at least night and morning, your
characteristic daily habit (2 Tim. 3:15-17; 1Thess. 5:17).

3. Confess Christ at all times, and under all circumstances, by word, behavior, or by
silence (Lk. 12:8,9,11; 2 Tim. 2:12,13; 1 Pet. 3:4).

The Hatred of God

Keith Keyser

In modern colloquial English the word “hate” is commonly used
to mean something far weaker than its dictionary definition. People often say “I hate
traffic jams,” or “I hate the Dallas Cowboys.” What they usually mean by
such statements is that they dislike such phenomena or people. When God uses the word,
however, it carries a far weightier meaning.
