By Franklin County MO. Church Of Christ

We remain strongly committed to the Restoration Plea to "Speak where the Bible speaks and remain silent where the Bible is silent." Such is a plea to abandon the man-made churches, names, creeds and teachings that are unauthorized by the New Testament. It is a plea for unity in Christ and His one true church. We are dedicated to the church's threefold work of evangelism, edification, and benevolence (Matthew 28: 18-20; Galatians 6: 1 0; James 1 :27). We are committed to the gospel plan of salvation for a lost and dying world, including faith in Christ as Lord and Savior, repentance of all sins

I Am Not Lying by Kendall Fox

I Am Not Lying by Kendall Fox

I Am Not Lying by Kendall Fox Galatians 1:13-24

13 For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how I used to persecute the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it; 

14 and I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries among my countrymen, being more extremely zealous for my ancestral traditions.

 15 But when He who had set me apart even from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace was pleased 

16 to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with flesh and blood, 

17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away to Arabia, and returned once more to Damascus.

18 Then three years later I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas, and stayed with him for fifteen days. 

19 But I did not see another one of the apostles except James, the Lord’s brother. 

20 (Now in what I am writing to you, I assure you before God that I am not lying.) 

21 Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. 

22 I was still unknown by sight to the churches of Judea which are in Christ; 

23 but they only kept hearing, “The man who once persecuted us is now preaching the faith which he once tried to destroy.” 

24 And they were glorifying God because of me.

Who Is Accursed ? by Kendall Fox

Galatians 1:6-10

I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel, 

which is not just another account; but there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 

But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! 

As we have said before, even now I say again: if anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!

10 For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.

2 and all the brothers who are with me,
To the churches of Galatia:
3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 who gave Himself for our sins so that He might rescue us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,
5 to whom be the glory forevermore. Amen.

16 from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.

Matthew 16:24-26
24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me. 
25 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 
26 For what good will it do a person if he gains the whole world, but forfeits his soul? Or what will a person give in exchange for his soul?

What Time Is It ? by Kendall Fox

Proverbs 3:1-8

My son, do not forget my teaching,
But have your heart comply with my commandments;
For length of days and years of life
And peace they will add to you.
Do not let kindness and truth leave you;
Bind them around your neck,
Write them on the tablet of your heart.
So you will find favor and a good reputation
In the sight of God and man.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
It will be healing to your body
And refreshment to your bones.

Hebrews 13:5-9

Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, “I will never desert you, nor will I ever abandon you,” 

so that we confidently say,

“The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid.
What will man do to me?”

Remember those who led you, who spoke the word of God to you; and considering the result of their way of life, imitate their faith. 

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, and forever. 

Do not be misled by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited.

Ephesians 6:10-17

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. 

11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. 

12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places

13 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist on the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 

14 Stand firm therefore, having belted your waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having strapped on your feet the preparation of the gospel of peace; 

16 in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one

17 And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Hebrews 12:1-3

1 Therefore, since we also have such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let’s rid ourselves of every obstacle and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with endurance the race that is set before us, 

looking only at Jesus, the originator and perfecter of the faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. 

18 In the exercise of His will He gave us birth by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits among His creatures.

13 Brothers and sisters, I do not regard myself as having taken hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead,

Philippians 2:1-5

Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, 

make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. 

Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; 

do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. 

Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,

1 Corinthians 15:3-8

For I handed down to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 

and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 

and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 

After that He appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep; 

then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles; 

and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also.

Careful Examination by Kendall Fox

Galatians 6:1-5

Brothers and sisters, even if a person is caught in any wrongdoing, you who are spiritual are to restore such a person in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you are not tempted as well. 

Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ. 

For if anyone thinks that he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 

But each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting, but to himself alone, and not to another. 

For each one will bear his own load.

Ephesians 2:11-13

11 Therefore remember that previously you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “Uncircumcision” by the so-called “Circumcision” which is performed in the flesh by human hands—

12 remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the people of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 

13 But now in Christ Jesus you who previously were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

12 The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. 

13 Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy. 

14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts.

Colossians 4:2-6

Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving; 

praying at the same time for us as well, that God will open up to us a door for the word, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I have also been imprisoned; 

that I may make it clear in the way that I ought to proclaim it.

Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. 

Your speech must always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.

14 In addition to all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. 

15 Let the peace of Christ, to which you were indeed called in one body, rule in your hearts; and be thankful. 

16 Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, [with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 

17 Whatever you do in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father

Therefore, as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, 

having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude.

See to it that there is no one who takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception in accordance with human tradition, in accordance with the elementary principles of the world, rather than in accordance with Christ. 

For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, 

10 and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over every ruler and authority; 

11 and in Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision performed without hands, in the removal of the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ,

15 Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you. 

16 Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind.

17 Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern. 

18 For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 

19 whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame—who set their mind on earthly things. 

20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

Colossians 2:1-7

1 For I want you to know how great a struggle I have in your behalf and for those who are at Laodicea, and for all those who have not personally seen my face, 

2 that their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and that they would attain to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God’s mystery, that is, Christ Himself, 

3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 

4 I say this so that no one will deceive you with persuasive arguments. 

5 For even though I am absent in body, I am nevertheless with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your orderly manner and the stability of your faith in Christ.

6 Therefore, as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,

7 having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude.

We Proclaim Him by Kendall Fox Colossians 1:24-29

24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am supplementing what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions in behalf of His body, which is the church. 

25 I was made a minister of this church according to the commission from God granted to me for your benefit, so that I might fully carry out the preaching of the word of God, 

26 that is, the mystery which had been hidden from the past ages and generations, but now has been revealed to His saints, 

27 to whom God willed to make known what the wealth of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles is, the mystery that is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 

28 We proclaim Him, admonishing every person and teaching every person with all wisdom, so that we may present every person complete in Christ. 

29 For this purpose I also labor, striving according to His power which works mightily within me.
