Musick-al Note # 278            What is the most important thing to you?  Well, many things are important and the way we plan and order our lives show what we really think is most important to us.  What is worth our work, labor, energy, time and the products of these things?  A few years ofContinue reading “THE MOST IMPORTANT THING”

Musick-al note # 277                        The term “doctrine” means “teaching”.  The question then is what is the teaching of Christ Jesus?  It should be recognized that Jesus came to the world to bring us the Word of God (John 12:48-50) “He who rejects me, and does not receive my words, has that which judgesContinue reading “TEACH THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST”

Musick-al Note # 276                      The teaching of the Word of God brings great joy to the teacher but bitter sorrow often comes into his heart.  These two extremes are so opposite that one would wonder that it could be possible that both could be in the same life, yet from the pages of inspirationContinue reading “GREAT JOY OR BITTER SORROW”

Musick-al Note # 275           The world seeks happiness as the thirsty person seeks water or the hungry man seeks food.  The wild craze of satisfying of the passions, the vain pursuit of emotional thrills and an ever-     increasing following of sports give ample indications that people are seeking happiness in any place and inContinue reading “HAPPINESS”

 Musick-al Note # 274              I do not know how you would answer this question but we must all decide sometime just what we are going to do in relation to the Lord’s work.  Our responsibilities may be different in their particulars but they are connected and relate to every other Christian in the entityContinue reading “WHAT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY?”

Musick-al Note # 273          Does God’s goodness cause you to sin?  A strange question, yet one which the Apostle Paul alluded to in Romans 2:4 and concluded that God’s goodness should lead to repentance. Let us examine ourselves in the light of this question and not relegate it into some far-off, distant land.         Continue reading “GOD’S GOODNESS TOWARD US”

Musick-al Note # 272                             Perhaps all of us indulge in wishful thinking at times as we begin to plan for greater works to be accomplished.  Such dreaming has its place in the lives of leaders for these people know they must put their thoughts or ‘wishes’ into action to bring about great accomplishmentsContinue reading “WISHING WON’T MAKE IT HAPPEN!”

Musick-al Note # 271                   This is a question exemplifying complete submission to our Lord and Savior.  The same thought is expressed in the song, “Have Thine Own Way, Lord.”  Such questions and thoughts coming from a pure heart will be followed by deeds, actions and works which display a singular fidelity to the LordContinue reading “WHAT WILL YOU HAVE ME DO?”

Musick-al Note # 270              When one reads carefully James 2:14-26, they will see that faith without works of obedience is dead!  Most of Hebrews 11 clearly shows the same thing. Each of these men who were saved or blessed by faith were blessed WHEN, AND ONLY WHEN, they did exactly what God said. ThereContinue reading “FAITH, GRACE AND WORKS”

Musick-al Note # 269                             No one likes a prophet of doom, especially if he points an accusing finger at us and declares that our actions are the cause of the impending destruction.  Yet God has always had His prophets to tell of impending destruction because of the failures of His people.  Enoch wasContinue reading “ARE WE TO BE DOOMED?”
