It takes two things to go to heaven. Those two things are an honest heart, and an open Bible. The fog of religious confusion and division makes finding true Christianity difficult in our day. We did not want nor cause the denominational division of our day; we were just born into a world of religious confusion. In less than a ten-minute walk from where I preach at the Walnut Street Church of Christ in Greenville, Alabama, you can physically touch at least six or seven church buildings. At each place, different things are believed, taught and practiced. The Bible says, “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints” (1 Corinthians 14:33). Let us study our Bible carefully with an honest heart, so that we can know the truth. Everything that we hear religiously cannot be right; so let’s start saying, “Show me in the Bible.” Study God’s word daily.
