Not On Sunday Night

I love the church that Jesus bought
And know that it is right.
I go there every Sunday morn,
But not on Sunday night.
I love to sing the songs of God,
Such worship must be right.
This I do on Sunday morn,
But not on Sunday night.
I love to hear the gospel, too,
It gives me pure delight.
I hear it every Sunday morn,
But not on Sunday night.
May God bless our preacher, too,
And give him power and might.
And put a sinner in my place
On next Sunday night.
I’d go through mud, even snow,
Do anything that’s right,
To be at church on Sunday morn,
But not on Sunday night.
Let all the others be on hand
To worship God aright,
But I just want my easy chair
And comforts Sunday night.
I know I really need more strength
To keep me in the fight
For help I came on Sunday morn,
But not on Sunday night.
True, the church can save the world
If its pure light shines bright.
I help it shine on Sunday morn,
But not on Sunday night.
Yes, all of us must surely die;
I hope I’ll be doing right.
So may I die on Sunday morn,
And not on Sunday night.

CHRISTIANS AND POLITICS.

Image
              CHRISTIANS AND POLITICS. By: Benson Omole. If there is anything that will spark a spontaneous debate, among believers, if not an outright argument, it is a discussion involving politics. As followers of Christ, how should we view politics, what should be our attitudes and our involvements with politics? In these contemporary times we live in today, it is increasingly becoming difficult to differentiate between an active Politician, and a faithful Christian! Small efforts shall be made to define what Christian life and values are. Why are we saved, and our responsibilities, now that we are saved? We shall also examine few classical definitions of politics, and its theories.  Readers must be able to decide whether to enter in “by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby. For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leads unto life, and few are they that find it.” –Jesu

The Origin of Israel.

ORIGIN OF ISRAEL. The origin of Israel is rooted in ancient history and has complex historical, religious, and political dimensions. It's important to understand that the topic is multifaceted, but I can provide a brief overview: 1. Ancient History: The region that is now Israel has a long history dating back thousands of years, with various indigenous peoples and empires controlling the area. In ancient times, the land was inhabited by Hebrews, Canaanites, Philistines, and others. 2. Biblical History: The Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) contains accounts of the Israelites' conquest of the land under figures like Moses and Joshua. It describes the establishment of the Kingdom of Israel. 3. Roman Conquest: In 63 BCE, the Roman Empire conquered the region, leading to the dispersion of Jews and the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE. 4. Modern Israel: After centuries of Jewish diaspora, the Zionist movement emerged in the late 19th century, advocating for the reest

The Truth About Christmas

The Truth About Christmas                            George G. Pennock. As we enter the season of the year when many of our friends and neighbors are observing the birthday of Christ, it is appropriate that we give some time to a careful study of Christmas. In this article we will attempt to give you a comprehensive picture of the truth about Christmas. Some of the material presented has been adapted from James L. Dennison's booklet, "The History Of Christmas" and Eris B. Benson's work, "The Question Of Christmas." We lay no claim to originality. Have you ever stopped and thought about the origin and history of Christmas? We are prone to take so many things for granted! Where did Christmas come from? Who authorized it? Many of us will quickly answer that it was ordained by God, and originated when Christ was born. But are you sure of this? Could you prove it from the Bible? Permit us to deal with some of the traditions which most of us have taken
