     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

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 word

     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

     JESUS CHRIST is the Savior of the world and the fulfillment of all Biblical prophecies.  In the classic text of John 1:1, John declares that the Word existed not only “in the beginning,” when He was “with God,” but also that He actually “was God.”  This is the Word that became incarnate as real man in Jesus

     Jesus Christ laid His credibility on the line when He said, “For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth (Matthew 12:40).”  If, therefore, the story of Jonah is not true then the story

     “When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats (Matthew 25:31-32).”     Much confusion

Was Saul, the King of Israel, ever saved?  Or was he saved and then later lost his salvation as some have said?  This whole subject raises the question about how persons were saved in the Old Testament times and whether anyone once saved could be lost.  Saul and his salvation is debated in many theological quarters.  A question that

     As we near the Lord's return, we need a checklist of things that we ought to make sure that we are doing.  I Thessalonians Chapter five gives us such a checklist.     When the Lord Jesus Christ returns for us at the rapture, every believer will be raptured or caught up with the Lord (I Thessalonians 5:14-18).  So, if

     The Lord's Supper and Water Baptism are the two ordinances that the Lord has given to us during the present age.  The Lord's Supper is to be practiced repeatedly, whereas water baptism is to be observed only once by the believer in the Lord Jesus Christ.  Scripture tells us in I Corinthians 11:2, “Now I praise you,

SHABBAT:     In recognition of the 4th Commandment, “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy…for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth…and rested on the seventh day…. (Exodus 20:8-11).”  Jews observe Friday evening and Saturday as a day of rest, joy and spiritual renewal.  To usher in the Sabbath, candles are lit Friday before sunset.  Ceremonial blessings

     The number 666 has been a fascination for people down through time, and it is a number associated with the devil.  God has forewarned us of a time when the man of sin, a superhuman dictator (II Thessalonians 2:4), known at the Beast, will be given power over all kindreds and tongues and nations.  And all that

     The Christian home today is under assault.  There are over 1,000,000 divorces in our country each year with devastating effects.  One million divorces means two million spouses plus several million children are effected each year by divorce.  Perhaps as many as six million a year are directly affected by divorce.  The bitterness, and the emotional turmoil is felt by

     Is there a home in heaven?  Where do the dead go?  Have you ever wondered where you would live after you die?  Do you have a new home waiting for you?  In one of the most familiar passages in the Bible, Jesus Christ answers these questions.  He says, “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also

     This is the age of “isms'-some good, mostly bad!  One of the youngest members of Christendom's fold is called the New Evangelicalism.  It seeks neutral ground, being neither fish nor fowl, neither right nor left, neither for nor against–it stands between!     Bible believing Christians would do well to beware of the New Evangelicalism for four valid reasons.  First, it

     Reading the Bible is like reading tomorrow's newspaper today.  The news is rapidly catching up with the Bible.  As we approach the return of Jesus Christ, we will see more and more events on our evening news that are a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy.  The Bible clearly predicts that at the same time Jesus would come at His

     Tragically, Anwar Sadat was assassinated October 6, 1981.  Does this tragic event have any significance in the light of Biblical prophecy?  What does the future hold for Egypt?     The Old Testament has over 700 references to the land of Egypt.  Of these, there are about 250 prophecies specifically concerning Egypt.  Many of these predictions deal with the present day situation.  God's

     Only two church offices are indicated in the New Testament: Elders and Deacons.  The church is ruled by elders, of which one is the “teaching-Pastor.”  “Elder” comes from the Greek word “Presbuteros”.  In the Christian church they are those who, by being raised up and qualified by the word of the Holy Spirit, were appointed to have

     “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).”· John 6:47 and John 3:36 say, “HATH everlasting life”.  The word “hath” is present tense, and means “possesses now.”  If you HAVE everlasting life, could it ever stop?· John 10:28

1. The Blood of Christ provides a suitable covering for man's sin, guilt and shame.  Genesis 3:21.2. The Blood of Christ makes the one who offers it both acceptable to and accepted by God.  Genesis 4:1-6.3. Through the offering of the Blood of Christ, (we believers) have safety from the coming Judgment.  Exodus 12:13.4. The Blood of Christ

     No passage in all of Scripture has been so misunderstood as James 2:14-26.  “Faith without works is dead” is used again and again by those who would add works to salvation as their proof text.  Most Christians don't know how to explain James 2:14-26; therefore, when those who teach falsely use James to prove their point,

Natural Inspiration     According to this theory, every great poet is inspired, and every person who has brought a helpful message for mankind is as much a prophet of God as were the Bible writers.     Objections:     It eliminates the supernatural and reduces the Biblical writings to the level of the secular, making them merely human productions to be criticized,
