The Hacking of Agag

Mark Kolchin

It would have appeared after Saul?s return from his battle with
the Amalekites (1 Sam. 15) that his victory over them was complete and decisive. Charged
by God to utterly destroy these perennial enemies (v. 2), he launched a successful
military campaign against them and defeated these foes with the edge of the sword.
Although he had decimated their ranks, Saul had not completely destroyed them but had
spared Agag their king and the best of the flocks.

A Distinguishing Characteristic Of A True New Testament Church

God’s Order of Headship

Bob Gessner

But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ; and the
head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God….For the man is not of the
woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman
for the man (1 Cor. 11:3,8,9).

Preachers of the Truth

Charles Fuller. Additional comments
by Bob Gessner

Preachers of the truth! God has always had them down through the
centuries. Did you ever wish you could hear some of these great servants preaching from
the Word of God? We cannot hear them, but some of their messages have been preserved.
Let?s go way back to the early centuries of Christianity and look at three brief
messages concerning the Lord Jesus Christ.

Reassembling The Assembly

Steve Hulshizer

The question is often asked, “Do assembly principles apply to
meetings held outside the assembly?” The answers vary greatly depending on who you
ask. The real problem is that Scripture does not address such gatherings, and, as such, in
the eyes of many we are left to our own thinking.

Jesus In the Midst

Mark Kolchin

Before they entered land of Canaan, Israel was promised a future leader
by Moses when he said: “The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the
midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken…” (Deut.
18:15) From then on, Israel looked for this great Prophet that God would raise up?the
Messiah?someone similar to Moses who was appointed by God to lead the nation.
