Daily Bible Study: THE GOSPEL OF JOHN: The Book of Eternal Life

1. AUTHORSHIP:

Traditionally the authorship of the Gospel of John has been credited to the Apostle John, the son of Zebedee, whom Jesus loved. Although this view has been called in question to the apostolic authorship from the beginning of the 19th century specially by a group known as the 'Alogoi', it has been opposed by Hyppolytus who wrote for the defense of this Gospel.

Daily Bible Study: Confessing And Repenting

Posted by Prince Malachi The First on June 17, 2013 at 11:02am

by Mick Alexander

Is there any connection between confessing sin and repenting of it?

In 1 John 1:9 (ESV) Christians are told, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins ..." So, when we confess our sins we are forgiven but what does it mean to confess? Many people say that it is merely admitting that we have sinned. Is this true or is there a deeper meaning?

What does it mean to confess?
Let's imagine that confessing sins is just admitting that we have sinned. S

Does it pay to be a Christian? What kind of life should a person expect having identified with Jesus? When people consider the Christian suffering, they shudder; but the truth is that Christians suffer for two basic reasons. This article explains these two reasons why Christians suffer.

Remember the word that I said to you, 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also John 15:

Daily Bible Study: A Time for Everything

by Stephanie Reck

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.
Ecclesiastes 3:1, NIV

We go through "seasons" or changes in our lives on a continual basis. Nothing is permanent on this side of heaven. As the seasons change in weather, so does the "seasons" change in our lives. Sometimes the seasons we are in are like the winter season, barren, no life, cold, dark, and harsh. Sometimes it seems like the winter will never end, but it does and a new season emerges. I

Lectionary Lesson May 26, 2013
Proverbs 8: 1-4 and Romans 5: 1-5

During the past few months and even just this week we have watched unbelievable horrors on our televisions: entire cities wiped out, leveled to the ground. We have seen the aftermath of brutal murder and legal proceedings about murders, and it seems there is no end to the reports of storms and earthquakes.

Often, even closer to us are the personal and daily pressures we face. For some of us it is financial problems, and for some it

What do you think are the greatest commandments? When Jesus came He pointed out the two greatest commands of God and towards the end of His mission on earth He gave a new commandment to His disciples. The summary of these three commands give the summary of the new covenant. This article explains more about these important commands of Jesus.

However strong a faith you have, however committed you are in your relationship with God it is certain that from time to time you will feel yourself under great stress, fighting depression or misery, dejection and anxiety and sometimes so disheartened that you wonder if you can carry on. What makes this state of affairs more galling is that you might have done nothing wrong to contribute to this situation and, try as you may, you cannot place your finger on exactly what is

by Rev. Brian H. Mathis

In 2 Samuel 23:8-38 there is an interesting list of people that I am sure most of us have ever heard of. It is a list of the 37 of King David's mightiest men. It talks about some of the glorious battles they fought and the enemies they killed while many times outnumber 100 to 1. When I first read this passage I was wondering why it would be included. Most of these men are not named anywhere else in scripture. However, every word we find in scripture has a purpose and ev

Learning to Recognize the Attacks of Evil Spirits Is So Important

Posted by Prince Malachi The First on May 27, 2013 at 3:30am

by Max Aplin

Back in the late 1980s, when I was first a Christian, I used to suffer from worries of various kinds that were particularly intense at times. On a number occasions I mentioned this to older Christians and I was given advice which helped a little but did not really seem to go very far towards solving the problem.

Over time, what I came to realize was that those worries were due in very large part to the direct attacks of evil spirits against me. Once I became aware of this, I found t

In geology a fault is a fracture, break or crack on the earth's surface. Hidden cracks in the life of a Christian leader will send tremors through that leader's life, family, and ministry shaking his whole world. Let's examine five fault zones in the life of a church leader.

Leftover Lines

Let's admit it. We all have leftovers from our past lives prior to accepting Christ. It might be an affair that was left hanging or whose embers were left flickering if ever so dimly. Or it can be

He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing. (Zephaniah 3:17)

More than anything else, Jesus delights in having a deep and abiding relationship with you. Every area of your life is of interest to Him, including daily routines that may seem mundane and insignificant. Some of you doubt that He is concerned with such trivial matters. Because of His invisibility and apparent silence, it is difficult for some peo

Now we see that sin is when we know to do the right thing and not doing it, or we do the wrong thing. We know that we sin when we do not obey God but how did sin get started in the world? When God created the world He made everything perfect! All the animals were perfect, all of the plants were perfect and Adam and Eve were perfect. God allowed Adam and Eve to eat of every tree in the Garden of Eden, but the tree in the middle. It was the tree of the knowledge of good and e

Walking In The Light
by Dr. Henderson Ward

There are times when it is necessary to run, for by so doing you may prolong your life; there are times when jumping is to be expected, as in jumping for joy; there are times for walking, like walking by faith, walking with caution and walking with godly fear. However there is always the need for believers to walk in the light; not here the natural light of the sun or moon, or the light of human reasoning, all good and proper in their places, but

Morning Bible Study: The Ten Commandments

by Dave Ingram

The ten commandments given to Israel by God in the book of Exodus stand out among many ancient codes of law as a set of governing principles that have stood the test of time. The ten commandments have done more to influence the tenants of government around and societal norms across the globe than any other body of law. A study of the ten commandments can reveal much to modern readers about the way humanity is meant to function in a perfect world.

I have traveled all over the world and have spent many years of my life studying the history of the world and can't recall any instance of a surviving civilization without an intact family structure--mother, father, and children.

I fully understand that the march towards modernity waits for no one. In communications, we went from teletype to telephones; from newspapers to radio; from radio to TV; from TV to mobile devices.

In transportation, we went from walking to horses; from stagecoach to

by Janelle Goodwin

Set your heart on God, and then follow your heart. This is something that my Mom wrote on a frame she made to hold a picture of me & my husband. This was to remind me of my journey and the reward that I received for following God with all of my heart. These words couldn't be truer. November 17, 1999 my grandfather passed away. At the funeral my brother spoke on the topic "what's on your tombstone?" He went through the Bible statin
