Plain Bible Teaching Podcast

This week, instead of a regular episode, I’m going to be sharing the audio from a sermon I preached recently for the congregation where I preach regularly – the Eastside church of Christ in Morgantown, KY. The sermon is titled, Fearfully and Wonderfully Made, and is based upon a passage in Psalm 139. So many of the problems in our society (abortion, transgenderism, racism, etc.) are the result of people either rejecting or never learning the principles contained in this passage. Since we discuss social issues on this podcast and this sermon is related to that, I thought it would be good to share.Continue Reading

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

“For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well” (Psalm 139:13-14).

The Bible clearly identifies God as the creator of all things. The verse above makes this personal, showing that each one of us has been created by Him. The psalmist used two words to describe this:

Fearfully – This word signifies something that causes one to revere or to stand in awe of something. The way God has formed each one of us is awe-inspiring and is a reason to approach Him in reverence.
Wonderfully – This word is used to describe something that is distinguished or set apart. God created us to be special among all the other things He has made.

The fact that we have been “fearfully and wonderfully made” teaches certain things about us. These are important to note, especially given certain mentalities and behaviors that are pervasive in our society.Continue Reading

Bringing Up Children in the Lord (Part 1): The Gift of Children

“Behold, children are a gift of the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth. How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; they will not be ashamed when they speak with their enemies in the gate” (Psalm 127:3-5).

What All Men Have in Common

People are different. Sadly, there are some who unfairly judge or even hate others simply because they are of a different race, culture, economic class, etc. Christians are to “judge with righteous judgment” (John 7:24) and “abound in love for one another, and for all people” (1 Thessalonians 3:12). In order to do this, we need to remember what all men have in common rather than focus too much on certain differences that may exist.

In this article, we will consider seven things which all of us have in common.

False Knowledge

“O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you, avoiding worldly and empty chatter and the opposing arguments of what is falsely called ‘knowledge’ [science, KJV] – which some have professed and thus gone astray from the faith” (1 Timothy. 6:20-21).

Tonight I was able to watch Ben Stein’s movie, Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. It is a documentary about the efforts to silence and discredit those who offer an alternative to the theory of evolution – namely, Intelligent Design. It was very well done and I highly recommend you see it.
