One Gospel Minute

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...

The path to becoming a saint involves no miracles, prayers to Mary, or official beatifications. True sainthood comes from following Jesus Christ, as the Apostle Paul explained to the Ephesians (Ephesians 1:1). Believers become saints through faith, obedience to the Gospel, and baptism—not through any earthly decrees. If you’ve obeyed the Gospel, you are a saint. Read about this subject Scriptures:...

While Halloween has pagan origins, it is now largely a festive fall tradition rather than a celebration of devil worship. Even so, one should be mindful not to go against their conscience or violate God’s standards of modesty, purity, and righteousness. True 'devil worship' is found in a sinful lifestyle. Jesus calls us to a life free from sin, cautioning that not following His path is ultimately...

Jesus teaches that our words reveal the state of our hearts—a truth worth considering in light of the noticeable decline in public discourse. Offensive language has become widespread, despite the fact that every word will be judged. The contrast between using harsh language during the week for professional reasons and professing faith on Sunday exposes a moral inconsistency. Scripture calls for sp...

Though some see Jesus merely as a good teacher or virtuous man, in Matthew 16:15-16, Peter boldly proclaimed, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God," affirming His divine nature. Jesus' extraordinary life bears witness to this truth and serves as a model for all. Walking in His footsteps, as Peter encourages, has the power to transform the world. Are you following in His steps? Rediscover...

Should attending church services be a priority? The term 'Ekklesia' means 'the called-out ones,' underscoring the critical nature of congregational gatherings. The early Christians assembled daily. If the Lord were to return suddenly, would you be found in church, involved in events such as gospel meetings or revivals? Your participation is vital, not solely for personal benefit but for the entire...

Many worry about elections, but God controls the world's fate, not us. The end will come unexpectedly, as only God knows the time. We're not powerful enough to end the world—only God has that power. He offers salvation through Jesus, who taught that faith and baptism lead to salvation. Are you prepared for the unpredictable 'day of the Lord'? Read about this subject Scriptures: Hebrews 1: 1-3; Mat...

Jesus advocated for unity, praying for His followers to be unified as He is with God. Despite numerous denominations and diverse church names contradicting His teachings, the Bible clearly calls for oneness in spirit and faith. This division leads to evil, as it allows the devil to thrive among the disunited. Read about this subject Scriptures: John 17; Acts 4:12; I Corinthians 1:10; Ephesians 4:3...

True completeness and understanding of God come from knowing His Word, as revealed in the Bible. While creation offers evidence of God, only Scripture provides the knowledge necessary for salvation. God's Word is uniquely worthy because of its righteousness, purity, and power to sanctify. Ultimately, our actions will be judged by His Word, with God delivering the final judgment. Above all, the Bib...

While earthly things change, Scripture remains constant and unchanging. Some believe that God's Word should adapt to modern times, but this view contradicts biblical authority. The Bible provides wisdom, good doctrine, and satisfies the human longing for truth. Using King David's example of studying and practicing God's Word, we can experience life-changing guidance. Read about this subject Script...

The Word of God is powerful, complete, and timeless, offering everything needed for life and spiritual growth. Delivered once to the saints, it equips believers for every good work. Despite this, many still seek something beyond its teachings, though God's Word remains eternal and unchanging. Its truth is as relevant today as ever and will continue to be, transcending time. Given by God and set in...

Our view of government should align with what God, our Creator, expects. Scripture teaches that the power of government comes from God, as seen in Daniel's acknowledgment that God gives power to whom He chooses and Paul's declaration that "the powers that be are ordained of God" (Romans 13:1). While trusting God to work out what is best, this does not mean disengagement. Christians are encouraged...

In Matthew 16:13-14, Jesus asks His disciples who people believe He is. Responses vary, showing that while many thought highly of Him, their opinions were often incorrect. This teaches us that relying on human opinions can lead to error. If people had read their scriptures, they would have known the truth about Jesus. Today, many face the same issue by not studying the Bible. II Timothy 2:15 encou...
