Part 1 Jesus said, “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out devils? and in your name done many wonderful works?  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you who work iniquity.”  (Mt. 7: 21, 22.  Jesus said, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”  On the one hand Jesus said that believers should not perish.  On the other hand He condemned some for working iniquity and said that He never knew them.  “Should” is an expression of desire.  It does not indicate a fixed destiny.  Not all believers are saved. The first group were people whom the Lord often heard worshipping Him, confessing Him and declaring their faith saying, “Lord, Lord.”  Yet, in the end, He didn’t know them.  As we read this we are forced to ask, “How can one be a believer and a worshipper of God and God NOT know them?  How is it there are some believers He does NOT know?”  If He does not know them, then it could only be that they were never a part of His family.   How can one be a believer and not be in the family of God?  Also consider Peter’s comment, “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who secretly shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.”  (2 Pt. 2: 1).  Some whom the Lord bought (i.e. believers), will be condemned. Are these thoughts contradictory?  We will attempt to discuss and answer this question and others in this series of articles.  Please read on.  (To read more, click on “Bulletin Articles/In Depth) DaySchool Visit their Website:  http://www.smithvilledayschool.com A ministry of the Church of Christ, Smithville, Tennessee.   Deacons Page Larry K.

In Depth IN DEPTH STUDY NOTES: The single greatest evidence in support of Christianity is the promise God made to Abraham in Genesis 12.  All of Jewish and Christian history has happened to fulfill this promise.  This promise and its fulfillment affects all that is to be understood and believed about Jesus and His Gospel.  All other evidences within scripture fall under this umbrella.  This series of articles are in seed form and are not completely developed.  They are presented here to challenge your thinking and to encourage you to develop them into your own lesson.

Restoration Plea THE RESTORATION PLEA (House to House Heart to Heart, Volume 15 Number 6, pages 1, 2) The Restoration Plea has been taught in our land for two centuries now, yet many in this generation have not heard it. It says: Let us speak where the Bible speaks and be silent where the Bible is silent. Let us call Bible things by Bible names and do Bible things in Bible ways. Let's restore the church as it was in the days of the apostles. When one speaks of a restoration plea four things are implied. THE RESTORATION PLEA IMPLIES THAT GOD HAD A PLAN FOR THE CHURCH. In the basement of America's largest home, the Biltmore mansion in Asheville, North Carolina, there is a model of the structure. The model was completed first as a guide to build the home. In Barcelona, Spain, you can visit the still unfinished Sagrada Familia Church. They have been working on it for fifty years. They have a model of what the building will look like when it is finished. The restoration plea implies t at God had a plan for the church, which He revealed to man (Isaiah 2:2-4; Daniel 2:44; Ephesians 3:10-11). God has always had a pattern. •Noah's ark (Genesis 6:22; 7:5); •Tabernacle (Exodus 25:8-9); •Temple (1 Chronicles 28:11-19); •Jericho's walls (Joshua 6; Hebrews 11:30); •Naaman's cleansing (2 Kings 5:1-14). Isaiah prophesied of the coming kingdom, showing that God was already making plans for the ch ch seven centuries before it came to be (Isaiah 2:2-4). Isaiah said God would "teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths" Jesus sent out the apostles to teach those paths (Mark 16:15-16). church.  Since the early church "continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine (Acts 2:42; cf. 4:32)...  (to read more, click here) Teacher Talk TEACHER TALK What took Elijah into heaven?
