The Christadelphian Tidings (1958 – 1998) is published bi-monthly for the Christadelphians of North America and provides news on Christadelphian events in that area, but also provides general articles of Biblical exposition and exhortation.
To The Christadelphian Tidings:
I have always found the faith of Jonathan and his armor bearer in 1 Sam 14 a great inspiration, so I enjoyed Bro Jason’s article ‘Jonathan the Faithful Prince’ in the May 2013 ‘Tidings’. The Biblical …
Because of the faith of Jonathan and his armor bearer, everything was changed for Israel. Just hours before, they had hid themselves under rocks, in caves, in bushes, and behind anything that might conceal them from the Philistines. They trembled …
This morning I want to talk about something that makes big headlines these days. Things your coworkers and peers might be talking about, and maybe have had conversations with you about. It is a subject constantly being debated in …

In reading through the Book of Mormon, we noted a number of doctrinal areas where the teaching seemed to be correct according to Scripture. For example: baptism by immersion of believing, committed people; the necessity of a godly, moral way …

As a Sunday school teacher and Bible school teacher for many years, I have learned the benefits of using drama to engage and enlighten my students. Drama can be used with all ages. It gets …
The young prince and his armor bearer walked through the gully. It would only be a short time before they met their enemies. Finally, they reached the cliff. Above them sat the Philistine garrison. Upon reaching the …
First, a brief history of this exhortation. It originally stemmed from a Wednesday night class at which we got onto the subject of arks. I would like to share with you what I learned from …

The oft-given advice, “Don’t limit yourself, reach for your dreams, just believe in yourself and you can do it,” was expressed by the actress Audrey Hepburn when she said, “Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m possible’!” The thinking …
Dear Bro. Peter,
Warmest love in the Hope we share. Thank you so much for your editorial this month.
In our work in the mission field we have witnessed the truth of your comments — learning and living the message …
When we consider atonement and what it involves, we have to keep in mind that it is part of God’s ultimate plan with His creation. We recognize that atonement in the Old Testament is a covering for sin. One of …
The Book of Mormon has two key points correct about the nature of man: mankind has free will to choose between serving God or rejecting Him, and human beings have an inborn tendency to selfishness, self-indulgence and rebellion against the …

“Watch Over Me” is the title of a hymn written by two Christadelphians in the United Kingdom in 1985. Sister Sheila Bacon wrote the words of the hymn. She asked Brother Andrew Johnson if he would put the poetic words …
Music in general and hymns in particular are most often thought of as something that we hear, something we sing, something we listen to.
We attend a concert, we listen to a recording, and we play an instrument. These are …
Hezekiah’s sickness, a message of death, an object lesson for mortals of all succeeding ages. Hezekiah prayed for life, pleading his good deeds. He received fifteen years lease of life, but misused the gift. “The God of David” — He …
Object lessons are a lot like parables. In an object lesson, common everyday things are used to teach a lesson that has a deeper spiritual meaning. The way the objects are used and their familiarity help make the lesson engaging …
Israel was held in a state of disgrace by their Philistine captors. They were supposed to be the people of God, and they were supposed to show God’s greatness through their actions and their faith — but such had not …

I read with interest your January editorial and the Scriptural justifications for either inclusive or exclusive fellowship. The justification for promoting exclusive fellowship seems based on not wishing to cause “offense”.
On further reflection it seems to me that not …
From beginning to end the Book of Mormon teaches the doctrine of the Trinity. The characteristics of God and Jesus, the crucifixion and the resurrection are all repeated topics in the Book of Mormon. Explaining these issues within the framework …
It’s basically a myth that the challenge of maintaining a happy marriage gets easier the longer one is married. Neither do we necessarily get wiser as we get older. All Bible students are familiar with …
