Egg on Her Face
When we moved to the country, I was pleased to find a neighbor who sold fresh eggs from her Rhode Island Red hens. The next day, our 11-year-old daughter announced that she needed a cake to take to school. I was sewing and asked her to make one from a mix. A few minutes later, she ran upstairs, very upset.
"I can't bake a cake," she cried. "The eggs are spoiled."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"They're all brown," she said.

Future Assignmentby Charles E. Cobb
"Tomorrow may never come." But, there will be a future. Our tomorrow on earth may never come to pass because we may die. Eternity, however, is in the future and this future is going to be witnessed by us all. An assignment will be made.
Jesus has called upon His followers to look to the future and not be unduly bound to the present. "Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal" (Matthew 6:20).
A glorious future of joy beyond compare, of rest beyond description, of life that never ends is promised for the faithful Christian, the servant of God, who lives today.
When sorrows come, sickness intrudes into our lives, disappointments seem to multiply, and darkness appears to ever prevail, the faithful Christian can look beyond these hurts to the future that Jesus has promised.
There is, however, another future that will be in store for a growing multitude of people. "And these shall go away into everlasting punishment" (Matthew 25:46). Sent away to punishment in infamy and shame, away from all that is holy, all that is good, all that is joyful and pleasant will be the future that awaits all who "obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ" (2 Thessalonians 1:8).
Men look to the future for different reasons. There is a future awaiting all of us, without exception. What will be your future? What will be your assignment?
Matthew 25:46
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
Welcome!
Alabama Churches of Christ is a resource for all Christians, but we try to be particularly helpful to Church of Christ congregations in Alabama and to those who live here or will be visiting Alabama.
We believe that the Church should speak where the Bible speaks and remain silent where the Bible is silent.
The Bible teaches that we must have the authority of Christ for whatever we practice or teach (Colossians 3:17).
Worship services should be conducted strictly in accordance with the scriptural patterns set forth in the New Testament.
The New Testament makes no mention of mechanical instrumental music being used in the early church, as such we do not use in our worship today.
Instead we sing "a cappella" (singing without mechanical instruments).
"Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;" (Ephesians 5:19).
"MUSIC IN WORSHIP" by Raymond Elliott is an excellent article on this subject.

Abortion Wrongs
We hear a lot about "abortion rights". This is an article about "abortion wrongs". Much misinformation is distributed on this subject. Let us consider the common arguments for abortion.
The Threat: Attacks on Parental Rights (Goes off-site)
Today parental rights are coming under assault from federal judges who deny or refuse to recognize these rights. Adding further danger to the child-parent relationship, international law seeking to undermine the parental role is advancing on the horizon. Together, these threats are converging to create a "perfect storm" that looms over the child-parent relationship.
Modesty Matters
This is a transcript of a lesson given by a lady to a women's Bible class.
It's long, but it's a very good read.
Here's an excerpt: "What a man's touch is to a woman, the sight of a woman is to a man. That's how important it is and how powerful it is. Our poor men: our husbands, our sons, our fathers—men are tempted everywhere they look — the Internet, TV, movies, billboards, and magazines. My heart really just goes out to them, because they are surrounded by temptations every day, and I think as Christian women we should take this very seriously, that we are not to make men stumble with how we dress. When men come to church they should be able to rest. They should have a little bit of a respite from this constant temptation that they face out in the world."
