“He, seeing this before, spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that His soul was not left in hell, neither did His flesh did see corruption. This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we are all witnesses (Acts 2:31-32, KJV). This was the Apostle Peter in the first sermon preached on the Jewish day of Pentecost (Matthew 16:18-19; Acts 2:1, 14).

Peter establishes several points: King David had a grave site, but there is no grave site for Christ (Acts 2:29). The reason is that Jesus rose from the dead (Acts 2:32; Luke 24:1-8). King David and all the other dead people decomposed and became skeletons in their graves, but the body of Christ never decomposed (Acts 2:31; John 20:26-31). Today, Jesus sits at the right hand of God, and He will judge all people on the final day (Acts 7:55-60; Hebrews 4:14-15; Acts 2:33; Acts 5:30-31; 1 Peter 3:22; Acts 17:31; John 5:22-23).

Peter also said that he and others saw the risen Christ and can testify that He did rise from the dead (1 John 1:1; John 20:19). You cannot go wrong with Christ, for He is the Way, the Truth and the Light (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; John 10:7-9; John 6:35, 48, 51).

​Evil is active because the heart of man desires it (James 1:14-15; Matthew 15:18-20). Murders, robbery, bribes, and bad conduct exist in schools because those who commit such acts see it as the solution (Genesis 6:5, 13:13, 2 Timothy 3:13). People every where are talking about how terrible crime is and how unruly young people are.

But evil cannot exist when each person decides to do what is right, and that is how evil can be is eliminated (Jonah 3:4-10). To put a dent in evil, men must repent by accepting the gospel of Jesus Christ (Luke 13:3; Romans 6:17-18; 1 Corinthians 15:1-2).

Here lies the problem—people refuse to accept the gospel, and it is the only hope for man (Titus 2:11-14; 1 Cor. 6:9-11; Rom. 10:13-21, 1:16). However, the following must be considered first:

1. One must get himself right because man cannot change others if he isn’t right himself.
2. Realize that some people will never obey the gospel but will continue to contribute to the woes of the world.
3. The gospel still must be taught to all with the hope of converting some.
4. The young children growing up must be taught the gospel, so they don’t become tomorrow's thugs.

The application of this will put a dent in evil. Hope to hear from you or see you at the services.

Divisions among men are many. A Christian doesn't believe what a Jew or Muslim does about the deity of Jesus Christ. A Baptist will not accept the Latter Day Saints' claiming that the book of Mormon is inspired. The Jehovah's Witnesses will knock on the door of a Catholic, and there will be no agreement on the authority of the Pope, blood transfusions, and the establishment of a paradise on earth. A gay rights activist will not agree when someone reads what the Bible has to say about sex, marriage, and homosexual conduct.

None of these issues have to exist; and they would disappear if men sought answers from the right source. Instead, people spend time talking about what they think, and what men think is worthless because men don't have a heaven nor hell in which to place anyone. The Bible claims to be the word of God, and it has existed before any of the other so-called books came along. We ask you to give the Bible a try, allow it to show the way, and the truth will be known. If you desire help studying the Bible, let us know because we will be happy to help.

Many people are confused by the fourth of the ten commandments,“Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy” (Exodus 20:8). By going to church on Sunday, some people think they are obeying this command. But that is not the case. The ten commandments are a part of the Old Testament given to the Jews prior to Christ’s death on the cross (Luke 16:16). Jesus’ death terminated the Old Testament and established the New Testament, which is for us today (Matthew 26:28; Hebrews 9:14-26, 10:9-10; Colossians 2:10-17; 2 Corinthians 3:3-14).

The Sabbath isn’t part of the law of Christ, and you can’t keep as law that which isn’t the law of God (Romans 4:15). Also, the Sabbath was the seventh day of the week (Saturday). On that day, travel and cooking restrictions were in place, with anyone caught working on the Sabbath being put to death (Exodus 20:11, 31:12-18, 16:22-30).

There has been a lot of scandals involving people in the public eye, and the exposure of some of these scandals has destroyed the persons involved and brought a lot of shame to their families. From movie stars to athletes; from politicians to preachers; from news people to aunts and uncles; there are enough scandals to make a ladder to the moon, and these scandals continue rather than decrease, considering that many people are getting caught.

So why do people continue to do these things? I’ll tell you why—people think they won’t get caught! Satan has told people that “no one will see.” But this is wrong and I mean dead wrong!

First of all, God sees (Psalm 94:7-11). Next, God said a person will reap what he sows (Proverbs 11:5). God also informed us that “sin will find a person out,” (Numbers 32:23). In addition, God will expose the hidden deed to all when we stand to be judged on the last day (Ecclesiastes 12:14; Hebrews 4:13; 1 Corinthians 4:5). So don’t get involved in shady under-the-cover things. For man has a Creator to whom he must answer (2 Corinthians 5:10).
