8. Part 8

7. “_I don’t know enough yet._” That could be so. I think I have seen some people of whom that was true. But you can learn enough in a very few minutes. Do you know that in ever...

5. Part 5

You meet a great many people who claim to take the Bible as their only rule of faith and practice, but when you press them to cite the scriptural authority for certain of their...

17. Part 17

Save a soul from what death? Not from physical death. “It is appointed unto men once to die,” physically. In that sense everybody has to die, the good and the bad alike. The onl...

15. Part 15

Although the New Testament does not, and I can not, tell you definitely how much is liberal in the sight of God, we can get some light on the question by studying what God has r...

7. Part 7

The above is a brief outline, then, of points upon which there is very general agreement. Let me ask you, dear friend, if you can think of anything essential to salvation which...

16. Part 16

6. _Hatred._ Hatred is a sin of the disposition. It is an attitude of the heart. It is the state of being an enemy. This term describes aversions and antipathies which are oppos...

It is not right to put color, race, and creed all in the same class. Certainly, you should not hold a man responsible for his color. You should not hold him responsible for his...

10. Part 10

The importance of this assembling on the first day of the week to eat the Lord’s supper is clearly revealed. “... and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and good w...

9. Part 9

Peter commanded him to repent and to pray. The commandment to pray for forgiveness implied a commandment to confess his sins. One cannot consistently pray for forgiveness until...

14. Part 14

I know of one man who was supposed to be preaching in a missionary field, not supported by Chapel Avenue incidentally, concerning whom I have received a report that the only thi...

6. Part 6

11. Part 11

I can’t believe the author meant to say that, but he said it. According to that, the “ten commandments” are the _only_ commandments now in force. That quotation plainly says tha...

13. Part 13

Then our tracts in the church lobby may be used to serve a good purpose. I’m glad that Brother Billingsley has taken the initiative in providing some racks for them, because the...

2. Part 2

Here again we have a commandment which is partly generic and partly specific. The word “go” is generic with respect to the means of travel to be used. The general form of this c...

4. Part 4

What is the source of all this division and consequent confusion? Is it the Bible? Is it possible that God failed to reveal clearly his will to man? Is it so ambiguous that we c...

12. Part 12

I decided to find out whether they had advertised the meeting. It was a small town where everybody is supposed to know what everybody else is doing anyway—only about 1,000 peopl...

18. Part 18

I’m emphasizing the fact that you can go to heaven if you want to. I’d like to read one more Scripture and then we close. This is found in II Peter, chapter one, verse 5-10, “An...
