     “ONLY BEGOTTEN SON?”  What does it mean?  “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16).”  Oftentimes children will misquote John 3:16, and say that God gave His only forgotten Son.  Perhaps there is more truth to this than we realize.  For […]

     Repeated blessings are promised in the Bible for “overcomers.”  Who is the “overcomer”?  Oftentimes believers are confused as to whom these blessings belong because they do not know “Who is the overcomer?”     Who is the overcomer?  The overcomer is the truly born-again-one, who has been redeemed through faith in Christ's blood.  What I am saying is that all true believers

     Contrary to what most people think and have been taught, Jesus Christ spoke in Parables to hide or conceal truth from those who really did not want truth.     Usually you will hear something like this, “Jesus Christ spoke in Parables to illustrate the truth in order that it might be made clear and understandable.”  NOT SO!  Let's let

     “Glory to God in the highest, and ON EARTH PEACE, good will toward men (Luke 2:14).”  This statement was made almost two thousand years ago at Christ's first coming to the earth….God coming and taking upon Himself a human flesh body so that He might become our Savior.  Has there been PEACE ON EARTH?  Not by the wildest

     “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it (Matthew 13:45,46).”     This parable should be studied along with Matthew 13:44, the parable of the hid treasure.  These two parables, we shall see,

     When Jesus spoke of the latter days and the time of His return, He mentioned along with many other signs: pestilences.     Notice what Jesus said in Luke 21:10,11.  “Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earthquakes shall be in diverse places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights

Rules for interpretationWork from the assumption that the Bible is authoritative.1. The Bible interprets itself; Scripture best explains Scripture.2. Saving faith and the Holy Spirit are necessary for us to understand and properly interpret the Scriptures.3. Interpret personal experience in the light of Scripture and not Scripture in the light of personal experience.4. Biblical examples

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.-Proverbs 11:30     A verse that has influenced my Christian life more than any other is probably Proverbs 11:30.  God says, “he that winneth souls is wise.”  When I first saw this verse I had never led a soul to Christ.  I was newly

     L     Loyalty and LoveTo the whole church program.  One forfeits his right to leadership when he fails to set the example in “complete” loyalty to the policies of the church.     E     Enterprise and EffortA real leader is industrious and sees a way through or around difficulties.  He does not mind working hard and sacrificing in order to carry out his

“And when these begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”  Luke 21:28.     Although there will be no signs of the rapture, there will be signs that will occur just after the rapture as signs of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.  There are no signs for the

He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment: and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.  Revelation 3:5     This verse is one of the wonderful verses addressed to believers that is often overlooked and misunderstood!  Perhaps

     Russia is mentioned in the Bible in a number of places.  The references are related to the future, a time period that matches up with the time period in which we are living.     Ezekiel chapter 38 tells of a Russian invasion of the Middle East.  Many think that Christians are manipulating the Scriptures to make them say what

Material gathered from Dave Hunt's book the “Woman Rides The Beast”     The Bible declares repeatedly that salvation is not of works and not by the deeds of the law, yet Rome insists that salvation is indeed through works in obedience to its 'new law.'  Vatican II declares that 'preaching the gospel,' a task of the bishops, is

     Satan declared war on God when he attempted to overthrow God long before Adam and Eve were here.  We believe Satan whose name was Lucifer lived on the planet Earth ruling over all of God's angels.  There was plant and animal life plus all of God's angels.  Lucifer planned an invasion of heaven taking a third of God's

Satan is presently called the “god of this world” in II Corinthians 4:4.  Jesus referred to Satan’s Kingdom in Matthew 12:26 when He said, “And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?”  This world and this world’s kingdoms are under the domain of Satan.  When Jesus Christ was tempted

     Blood is associated with both the first and second comings of Jesus Christ.  When Jesus Christ came the first time, John the Baptist said to Him, “Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world (John 1:29).”  As the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ laid down His life for us on the cross

Again, the kingdom of Heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. Matthew 13:44.     When Jesus spoke in parables, he spoke not to reveal truth but conceal truth.  Jesus said to His

     There is a great deal of confusion about the Holy Spirit in the world today.  Perhaps, this is because the author of confusion, who is Satan according to I Corinthians 14:33, is working behind the scenes to create this confusion.  Satan is contrasted with the Holy Spirit many times by being identified as the spirit of this

Sometimes we don’t realize how important our hearing is as related to our spiritual life.  We must hear spiritually in order to be saved. Jesus said, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed

But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.  As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.Galatians 1:8,9     The importance of

     Jesus is either a liar, or He is God who came in the person of Jesus Christ to die for your sins and mine.  In John 14:6, “Jesus saith unto him, l am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”  Some reject the claims of Christ and at
