The wise men showed true wisdom—they followed God’s direction, journeyed far, and worshiped Jesus with their best gifts. They didn’t let Herod’s threats sway them; they listened to God. Real wisdom is the same today—seeking Jesus, following His guidance, and offering Him our best. That’s the gospel. Read about this subject Scriptures: Matthew 2, Hebrews 11:1, Matthew 2:2, Matthew 2:11, John 2:13-2...

Spring is a time of renewal and life, with birds singing, flowers blooming, and nature bustling with energy. God has promised that the seasons will continue as long as the earth remains (Gen. 8:22). Despite claims that seasons may disappear, believers can trust that God is in control. His promises are sure, so enjoy the beauty of spring with confidence in His word. That’s the Gospel! Read about th...

"Why did my Savior come to Earth?” You may recognize this beautiful old hymn. The Bible answers this question clearly—Jesus came to fulfill the Law, establish His church, free believers from sin, reveal God’s love, bring comfort, and save the lost. His coming is the defining moment in history, shaping the course of the world. That’s the Gospel. Read about this subject Scriptures: Matthew 5:17, Mat...

Knowing the truth will set you free. Some say it's unknowable, but it is. To be saved, you must love the truth. Do you love all the truth? Malcolm Hill, the late founder of Tennessee Bible College, was the original voice of One Gospel Minute on radio, sharing powerful, Bible-centered messages. In this Throwback Thursday episode, we honor his legacy with one of his timeless lessons. Tune in and be...

Host President David Hill presents a special episode of One Gospel Minute , featuring Brother Glenn Ramsey, one of TBC’s longest-tenured educators. This powerful message on TBC’s rich history and living out our faith was part of TBC’s RENEW program, held on February 22-23.

Tennessee Bible College is celebrating 50 years of Christian higher education with its annual RENEW program on February 22-23, 2025 . This year’s theme, Earthen Vessels (II Corinthians 4), reminds us that God has entrusted us with His Word to carry and share with the world. The weekend will be filled with gospel preaching, fellowship, singing, and great meals, featuring speakers who are all TBC al...

Christians bear the Gospel in earthly bodies, just as Jesus did when He came in human form to declare God's glory (II Corinthians 4:7). Paul encouraged the Corinthians to live for Christ, reminding them that God's plan is entrusted to those who follow Him. As His followers, we are His hands, feet, and voice, spreading His message. The true value lies not in us but in the power of God within—the tr...

Belief and baptism are necessary for the remission of sins, as outlined in Mark 16:16 and Acts 2:38. Genuine faith involves obedience and complete adherence to the New Testament, staying true to God's Word without alteration. Embracing the Gospel means following the Bible alone. Read about this subject Scriptures: Mark 16:16; Acts 8:36; Acts 2:38; I Peter 3:21

The Bible says the love of money, not money itself, causes all kinds of evil. It brings greed, sorrow, and blocks obedience to the Gospel. True joy comes from pursuing righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness. Love God completely for peace and fulfillment. Read about this subject Scriptures: I Timothy 6:10; Acts 8:20; Matthew 22:37

R.L. Whiteside, in his 1945 commentary on Romans 13, discusses corrupt governments. He argues that bad governments do not invalidate Paul's teachings. Just as the devil can influence churches without owning them, he can influence governments. Civil government aims to ensure security and wellbeing. Without it, life and property would be insecure. Obedience to civil authorities is a gospel requireme...

The Bible is wholly inspired by God (2 Timothy 3:16) and should be respected in its entirety—whether Old Testament, New Testament, genealogies, or parables. Every part of it deserves our attention and obedience.  Read about this subject Scriptures: II Timothy 3:16; Revelation 22:18-19; II Peter 3:16; James 2:10

As Christians, sharing the message of Jesus Christ is essential. The Gospel is God's power for salvation, and the world must hear it to be saved. Spreading this message is a vital part of our faith. What are you doing about it? Join us as we revisit the original One Gospel Minute with TBC founder Malcolm Hill. In honor of TBC’s 50 years of Christian higher education, we reflect on his timeless mes...

As you step into the new year, take a moment to reflect on your goals. Physical fitness, healthier eating, and quality time with loved ones are admirable pursuits—but have you considered your spiritual priorities? Strengthening your relationship with God should be at the top of your list. Dive into His Word, letting the Gospel shape and guide your life. Remember II Timothy 2:15, which calls us to...

As the great old hymn says, "I am resolved no longer to linger, charmed by the world's delights." This commitment requires a lifetime of dedication and the guidance of a loving God. Jesus emphasized the eternal reward of such faithfulness: heaven, a prepared place for prepared people (Revelation 22:14). Whether starting your journey by obeying the Gospel or striving to grow as a Christian, resolve...

Music speaks volumes about who we are. Ralph Vaughan Williams once said that music expresses the soul of a nation, highlighting its deep connection to art, life, and the human spirit. In worship, God calls for vocal music, with the heart as the only instrument (Eph. 5:19). Singing in worship is a profound act of communion with God and a way to teach and inspire one another through song. Andrew Fle...

In this season, Jesus is often discussed, and I love it. God sent Jesus as a peace offering. He lived sinlessly but was crucified. While His birth is celebrated, the Gospel celebrates His resurrection, giving us hope for eternal life. Heaven and angels praise His sacrifice. I serve a risen Savior. Do you? Read about this subject Scriptures: Colossians 1:19; Hebrews 4:15; I Corinthians 15; I Peter...

Visit the church of Christ in your community to start your week right. Enjoy heartfelt singing (Ephesians 5:19), prayer (Luke 18:1), preaching (2 Timothy 4:1-2), partaking in the Lord's Supper (Acts 20:7), and giving (1 Corinthians 16:1-2). The church of Christ loves and cares for you! Experience our fellowship and devotion. Step back in time with One Gospel Minute and uncover the enduring wisdom...

Have you checked your spiritual heart? The parable in Matthew 13 shows that responses to the gospel depend on the heart's condition—worldliness, shallowness, or lack of understanding prevent spiritual growth, while an open, understanding heart leads to spiritual prosperity. Like Pharaoh's hardened heart in Exodus, the Word of God, like the sun, either softens or hardens hearts. How is your spiritu...

The Apostle Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit, condemned the unrighteousness of the ancient church in Rome, including their perversion of truth, rejection of creation, distortion of God's design, and prideful denial of God. In this Thanksgiving season, reflect on whether we are truly thankful—grateful to our Creator for blessings, national liberty, and, most importantly, salvation from sin. True t...

Hosea's wife, Gomer, mirrored Israel's unfaithfulness to God. They pursued idolatry and false teachers for selfish reasons. Jesus noted the church at Ephesus also abandoned their first love. The church, as Christ's bride, should love God purely and follow His word. The Gospel invites us to live a better life. Read it, love it, live it. Read about this subject Scriptures: Hosea 9:1; Revelation 2:4;...

The phrase 'Go ye' implies 'go me,' a call for every Christian to actively spread the Gospel, whether by preaching or simply living as an example. This involves teaching through everyday actions, love, and support, fulfilling a duty to bring light to dark places. Even if it feels like you can't do much, small acts are powerful with God's presence. The journey to a better world begins with followin...

While views differ on whether the truth in religion can be known — some say yes, others no — the Bible does not support the idea that truth is unknowable. In fact, the Lord urges us to study, promising that 'the truth shall make you free.' Thus, by diligent study of the Bible, we can indeed know the truth, as affirmed by Lord Jesus Christ. Rediscover the legacy of Tennessee Bible College founder M...

Noticed the world around you lately? Our culture has changed significantly, and public discourse is at an all-time low—bitter, envious, and divisive, even among those claiming wisdom. James said, “Such wisdom does not come from above” (James 3:15); it’s earthly, sensual, devilish. Christians are called to a higher standard, more than conquerors in Christ (Romans 8:37). So, why follow the world? Se...

The Word of God, through the teachings of the prophet Daniel and the Apostle Paul, guides our approach to leadership and authority. It emphasizes obedience to elected leaders as ministers appointed by God. True Christianity advocates for peace, prayer, and a commitment to living honestly and harmoniously—without violence. Read about this subject Scriptures: Daniel 4:25; Romans 13; I Peter 2:17; I...
