Musick-al Note #  268            Some might think this an irrelevant question, “Why, everybody knows what Christianity is!  It’s the following of Jesus Christ!”          To be sure, Christianity is the following of Jesus Christ but it should be more than a perfunctory answer to elude the fundamental purpose of asking the question.  Consider theContinue reading “WHAT IS CHRISTIANITY?”

Musick-al Note # 267           In Matthew 11:16-19 Jesus gives a stirring illustration of the way so many people act in regard to Christianity and their response to Him.  He said, “It is like children playing in the market, one group calls to another group saying, “We have played wedding music and you did notContinue reading “RESPOND TO THE LORD”

Musick-al note # 266                                                                      Our desire is to teach the Word of God (and only His Word) is to encourage every student to follow Christ Jesus without the encumbrances of denominational teachings and doctrines.  For any person to teach any doctrine, precept or rule of authority for man to obey not revealed inContinue reading “TEACH THE WORD”

Musick-al Note # 265                          When God gave His law to Moses concerning their worship, He required the very best animals for sacrifices to Him.  Those animals were to be perfect.  He forbade the Jews to offer an animal that was lame, or blind or in any way deformed. (Deuteronomy 5:21, Malachi 1:8).  SinceContinue reading “A LIVING SACRIFICE”

Musick-al Note # 264          How marvelous to be remembered!  A phone call, a letter or a few moments shared in Christian fellowship makes our outlook on life so much brighter.  We need to be loved and cared for as well as to love and care for others.  This basic need of man should haveContinue reading “GIVING JOY”

Musick-al Note #  263                                           DEDICATION TO THE LORD           A great deal of time is given to the exposition of themes that have to do with dedication to Christ.  Yet for our much speaking we must have failed to adequately teach the subject so that many are still unlearned or else we have failedContinue reading “DEDICATION TO THE LORD”

Musick-al Note # 262                                          OPEN LETTER TO THE FAITHFUL          Much of our writing, preaching, and visiting is directed to the weak and unfaithful.  I wish to reverse that order here and address the faithful. This article is not addressed to you who have to be begged, petted and pampered before you attend theContinue reading “TO THE FAITHFUL”

Musick-al Note # 261           When one willfully misses worship he is disobeying a plain command of God.  The Holy Spirit directed, “Not forsaking the assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much toe more, as you see the day drawing nigh” (Hebrews 10:25) and there is more,Continue reading “WILLFUL ABSENCE”

Musick-al Note # 260 We all know the value our Lord placed on the church. “He purchased it with His own blood.” All the anguish that filled His heart when He was betrayed and denied by friends, and all the pain that cruel minds made Him suffer is involved in this statement. The bitter hoursContinue reading “WHAT IS THE CHURCH WORTH?”

Musick-al Note # 259God is greater in power and in understanding than we are. He made us; therefore He knows what we need and what is best for us. He desires that we worship Him and has set forth regulations which are to help us in ordering our worship to Him. God has given acceptableContinue reading “WORSHIP GOD”
