     Have you ever wondered about the “WOMAN” of Revelation chapter 17?  She represents a religious (worldwide) system that had its beginnings in ancient Babylon and will have its final headquarters in Rome during the Tribulation period.  God will judge the religious system and destroy it during the Tribulation.     H. A. Ironside, a past pastor of Moody Memorial Church,

What is your testimony?  I believe this term is so misused that most folks don't even know what is their testimony.  In churches people are often asked to give a testimony.  Usually someone will volunteer and say that their testimony is that God has healed them of some illness, or has helped them through some difficult crisis, or

Dispensation defined:A dispensation is a period of time during which man is tested in respect of obedience to some specific revelation of the will of God. Seven such dispensations are distinguished in Scripture.

     “Repent of Sin.”  This often-quoted phrase “repent of sin” does not even occur in the Bible.  Most people are quite shocked to find that it does not appear in the Scripture.  Nowhere does the Scripture use the phrase, “repent of sin” to be saved.  Scripture does say in Acts 20:21, “repentance toward God” (change of mind), and “faith toward

     Abraham and Lot were both saved men.  Both went to heaven.  Yet both men took a totally different path as far as the Christian life is concerned.  Lot walked by sight, whereas Abraham walked by faith.     Concerning the salvation of Abraham and Lot, we will take a look at the scriptures.  In fact, Romans 4:3 says, “For what saith scripture?  Abraham

Abel was a shepherd.  (Genesis 4:2)It was as a shepherd that he presented his offering unto God.  (Genesis 4:4)Though giving no cause for it, Abel was hated by his brother.  (Genesis 4:8)Cain was jealous of his brother Abel and it was out of envy the Cain slew Abel.  (Genesis 4:7)Abel did not die a natural death.  (Genesis 4:8)Abel met a

“To him [Jesus Christ] give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.”  Acts 10:43First of all, let's take a look at the New Testament.  Peter is preaching in Acts 10:43 and reminds us that all the Old Testament prophets preached that salvation was through Christ.  Also that all

WHY WITNESS?God tells us to witness.  (1 Thessalonians 2:4; 2 Corinthians 5:19; 1 Cor. 1:17; II Timothy 4:1,2)God leads us to witness.  (Jeremiah 20:9; I Corinthians 9:16; Acts 4:20)God's Word brings faith.  (Romans 10:17; Ephesians 1:13; Psalm 119:130; John 5:24)God receives glory when we witness.  (John 15:8)God commands us to witness.  (Mark 16:15)WHO SHOULD WITNESS?Every Christian.  (II Corinthians 4:13; John 17:18,19;

The tradition of a Sunday Morning resurrection is very much a part of modern Christianity.  Most everyone thinks of a Sunday morning resurrection.  After all the Sunrise services seem to imply that this is when Jesus arose from the dead.  But Jesus said, “For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall

In the twelfth century Rabbi Moses ben Maimon, also known as Maimonides, and frequently called Rambam (b. 1135; d. 1204), formulated the “Thirteen Principles of Faith.”  These are the chief relationship between Judaism and Christianity.  They thus also suggest an approach to the Jewish heart and mind in our seeking or bring them to faith in Messiah

There are three “untils” of Israel’s blessing that must be fulfilled before Jesus Christ will return as Israel’s King and Israel will be blessed.  When Jesus Christ came the first time to earth, He was rejected by the nation of Israel and went to the cross of Calvary.  “He came unto his own, and his own received

Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish. 1 Corinthians 13:8.     The gift of prophecy in the apostolic church was not forthtelling the truth of the written Word, but declaring truth which had been specially and directly revealed by

     No one on the planet earth is speaking in the Biblical gift of tongues.  Not one person, yet there are thousands of persons who are claiming that they do speak in tongues.  What is happening?  What is going on?     The Biblical gift of tongues was the ability to speak in a known foreign language without any prior training for

     Whenever the true gospel message is given, there are usually two basic objections.  If a witness does not know how to deal with these objections, the result will often be that the person being witnessed to will not trust Jesus Christ as Savior.     The word “gospel” means good news and the gospel of Jesus Christ truly is

     The Lord's eyes are searching the earth looking for those for which He can show Himself strong on their behalf.  It appears such persons are hard to find!  Look at II Chronicles 16:9; “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose

     When Jesus was asked, “What shall be the sign of thy coming?”  He replied saying, “And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you be not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet (Matthew 24:6).”     U.S. News and World Report recently reported (March 28.1983), “NOW

     Water baptism is a testimonial of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.  Water baptism has never been, nor will it ever be a means of securing the remission of sins.     The Greek word “baptizo” has been transliterated in our English Bibles.  The translators simply replaced the “o” with an “e”.  This is called a transliteration not a translation, because
