Lesson 13: Dealing with Isolation
Introduction
The following list of every occurrence of the Greek word "diabolos", you could also find these with the aid of a concordance. (Strong's Greek #1228). This list is meant as an aid to the diligent Bible student. (The actually word is in bold type for each verse). It is believed by Christadelphians that the devil is a term used for sin in the flesh and/or a person or group who manifests sin. The best approach is to carefully consider each verse and draw conclusions.
Lesson 12: Fellowship with God
When we partake of the Emblems we normally think of that which we do as having fellowship one with the other; but the reality is that the Emblems are all about our fellowship with God.
AFTER COLLEGE I WAS PART OF A Christian basketball team that twice traveled to Cuba to play against the Cuban national team. My team had players from a number of schools around the country, most of them playing, as I did, for Division III programs. We had two Division I players. The last U.S. team the Cubans had played against was the Dream Team, which featured the greatest basketball players ever, including Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and a few others who played on teams other than the Bulls.

First, I remember that the food and drink were terrible. Eating soda bread and drinking warm, unpasteurized goat’s milk for two weeks was more than my immature American taste buds could bear. I longed for the golden arches of the land of the free and the home of the brave, the country of salt and fat and grease!
NOT LONG AGO CHARLOTTE, my four-year old daughter, was sitting next to me on the couch. I was reading a book, and she was playing a game. I put my book down and turned to her.
AS BELIEVERS WE ARE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK. That is, we recognize and appreciate that God has given us a sure revelation of himself and his will in the Bible. But it’s one thing to believe that the Book is special—inspired, authoritative, sufficient, etc.—and it’s another thing to know how to read it.
AFTER I PREACHED ON the end of Matthew 24, one person came up to me after the service and asked, “What does it mean to be ready for Jesus’ return?” Then after I preached on Matthew 25:1-13—the Parable of the Ten Virgins—two people came up to me after the service, one after the other, with that same question.
