Welcome to our blog! We at the Haltom City church of Christ are a group of Christians who follow the commands, examples and inferences found in the New Testament. We have no creeds or man-made doctrines, only the Bible guides us through our worship, work and service to God.
We invite any and all to leave comments on either page of our blog. We will be glad to answer any questions with a Bible based answer, i.e. book, chapter and verse. Please leave any comments or questions you may have about our congregation or the church of Christ in general. We will respond as quickly as we can.
As always, visitors are welcome at every worship service and Bible class we have.
Great website, keep up the new work.
Thanks for your kind words of encouragement.
THX that’s a great answer!
This was so helpful and easy! Do you have any articles on rehab?
Thanks for your response. As Terry said in an earlier reply, the way to become a Christian is easy to understand, but remaining faithful to Christ requires effort. In answer to your question, you’ll find a very good article on rehab here: http://www.gospelway.com/christianlife/change_yourself.php . Our hope for all people is that they would become Christians, find peace in living for Jesus, and enjoy eternal life in Heaven.
Shoot, who would have thought that it was that easy?
It is an easy thing to become a Christian. Hear, believe, repent, confess, be baptized and you have become a Christian. The most difficult thing is to remain a faithful Christian. Jesus said in Matthew 10:22, “And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.” To remain faithful is essential. Paul said of Demas in 2 Timothy 4:10, “…for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica…” The most difficult thing to do is remain faithful to Christ. It WILL take sacrifice. Will you make the sacrifice and forsake worldly things? Luke 14:33, “So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.”
Unbeilevbale how well-written and informative this was.
Keep these articles coming as they’ve opened many new doors for me.
All of my questions settled-thanks!
Any ideas for the followin, bro Terry on
(1) What it means to be COMMITTED
(2) The COST of doing business with the devil
Bro Tenson,
The word committed means to give yourself to something 100%. That means there is no room to change your mind, no room for doubt, and no room for anything else in your life. When you commit your life to Christ, there is NOTHING else. To commit is to be committed. The Bible tells us NOT to commit sin, 1 Corinthians 10:6-11. If we have committed sin, we have given everything to Satan because there is no room for God. People think they can live life with both God and Satan, but God said they cannot, Matthew 6:24. When you choose to sin, you have sided with Satan and NOT God. There is the answer to your second question, you side with Satan and you have forfeited your soul, Galatians 5:17-21.
Thanks bro Terry.
Psalm 5, verse 5. I am at this time not tyring to make a point, just tyring to see what would be done with such a verse.
