Thou Shalt Not Use the Lord’s Name in Vain
In this lesson on the Ten Commandments, we’ll look at #3, taking the Lord’s name in vain. We will notice the 1) content of the command and 2) the consequence of the command.
All Christians must grow. Spiritual growth (like physical growth) involves 1) Proper Nourishment, 2) Proper Exercise, 3) Proper Rest. All should understand what they need to do to grow as Christians.
In this lesson we will compare and contrast the purposes and expectations of man in relationships with the purposes and expectations of God. We will note what humans construct when it comes to relationships vs. what God creates and then see how liberating God’s way is. I hope that each hearer will understand how God’s design of loving one another encapsulates the whole of human relationships without the need for additional human constructions.
In this lesson we will discuss 1) the purpose of the family in having children, 2) the mission of the church in relationship to children, and 3) the need for the church to be involved in the lives of children. This lesson encourages the church to support and be involved in our children’s activities with a view toward growth, and it discusses the relationship of the church to children in an encouraging way.
The strait and narrow way is 1) the trail that Jesus blazed, 2) the trail that once begun, must be followed, 3) the trail that does not change, 4) the trail that brings reward. Each would understand the commitment necessary to walk the strait and narrow way.
God's Grace is Amazing
A Christian is a person who 1) Believes Christ, 2) Obeys Christ, 3) Is Faithful to Christ. Each person should understand that it isn’t enough to claim to be a Christian, one must live that way.
The church of Christ is a called out body of baptized believers who do all to the glory of God.

I am grateful to the elders for permitting me the time to go, to Rafael Barrantes for the invitation, and to God for the opportunity to lift up His Son Jesus Christ to the people of Costa Rica.
The point is this: the assumption of restoration does not necessarily imply non existence of that which needs to be restored as the question seems to imply. We recognize that restoration means that that which needs to be restored has deteriorated badly. In what sense? In the sense that not very much of the original is left. But that means that SOME of the original is still there. How can it be restored? By following the pattern for the original. In the case of the church, where do we find that pattern? In the New Testament.

There are not many actions that we can take that will have an eternal impact, because so much of what we do concerns the mundane. However, we should take advantage of every opportunity to be involved in spiritual events because we are affecting matters of eternal importance! Will you invite your friends to our gospel meeting this week? Will you attend the gospel meeting this week? Some soul out there may say in eternity, “The most significant event in my life was when I was invited to the gospel meeting at the church of Christ.”
