William Hazlitt, who was a bit of literary satirist from the early 1800’s, once said: “Life is the art of being well deceived; and in order that the deception may succeed it must be habitual and uninterrupted.” I thought of that statement recently while studying the brief epistle of Jude, and was reminded again that Jude’s [...]
In considering our Lord’s resurrection this week, I was reminded of an old hymn written by the late L .Wilbur Chapman entitled “One Day!” (You may have heard a more contemporary remake of this hymn as of late). It is a hymn of course that is directed toward the redemptive work of our Lord Jesus [...]

How good it is to constantly bring to remembrance those wonderful words of the apostle Paul who encouraged the church at Philippi saying: “For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.” (Phil 3:20). Christ is indeed the Lord from heaven, and by virtue of [...]
After a hiatus in January, “Aletheia” makes a brief return for the month of February. And for this week I wanted to approach the issue of what I’ve entitled “The Ministry of Self-Acquaintance”.

We are returning to our study of church organization, and in particular, the establishment of the two offices of church polity; the office of elder and the office of deacon. Last week I indicated that there is a seemingly endless variety of systems of church organization….in fact, one might wonder if there aren’t as many [...]
Good morning to each of you…. I hope to spend the remainder of November discussing the issue of church organization, and in particular, the positions of elders and deacons. I’m overdue with this topic, I think…although, we’ve had some opportunity recently to address this in Sunday School. I think this is a topic that holds [...]
Aletheia returns for the month of November, and this week we look at 2 Timothy 2:4: “No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him.” There is a story of a young soldier who, after recently enlisting in the Army, was [...]
