     The family can be a very powerful testimony for God, His Word, and the gospel message.  After God had instituted marriage in the garden, we see Adam and Eve sin; therefore, sin was passed upon the whole human race, which was seen yet in the loins of Adam.  “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the […]

     How much time do we have left until Jesus Christ returns from heaven to take us out at the rapture?  Although, we cannot know the exact date of His return, the signs are so abundant about us that we know that we must be near.     Certainly, there is an abundance of verses that tell us that we

     Every believer owes 100% of what he is and what he has to God.  It is wrong thinking to think that when we give a portion of what we have to the Lord the rest belongs to us.  It is all His; we merely use part of it for ourselves.  Everything is His.     Paul says in Acts 17:25, “He

There were three errors concerning LAW and GRACE during the time of the writing of the New Testament.  They are errors which have continued until this day even though the truth is so clearly taught in the Scriptures.  These errors are:1. LEGALISM-It is the teaching that we are saved by works, by observing rituals and ceremonies, and

     The word “crown” in the Old Testament is a translation of two Greek words.  The two Greek words are “diadema” and “stephanos”.  They are both translated in our New Testament by the same word “crown”, but their usage is different.  W.E. Raffety, in the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, summarizes the uses of the crowns throughout the whole Bible

     True Biblical giving is giving from the heart to the Lord.  The Lord Himself illustrates this kind of giving.  “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).”  God displayed His love toward us by giving Jesus to die on

     True Biblical giving from the heart to the Lord.  The Lord himself illustrates this kind of giving.  “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).”  God displayed His love toward us by giving Jesus to die on the cross

     Have you ever wondered how Jesus Christ could be crucified on Friday and be resurrected on Sunday after being buried for three days?  Well, that's impossible!  You cannot squeeze three days between Friday and Sunday.  By no stretch of the imagination is it possible to stretch the period from Friday evening to Sunday morning into “three days and

     “And I will put a division between my people and thy people (Exodus 8:23).”  Even from the very early pages of the Bible we find that there is a division between the people of God and the unsaved.     Abraham, who trusted in the Lord as his Saviour, was asked to separate himself from his family and nation

“He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.”  Revelation 22:11.     This verse appears to be difficult and is confusing to most people who read it.  Many times

     What about the person who has never heard the gospel?  What about the heathen, the person in Africa, South America, Asia, etc., who has never heard of Jesus Christ?  What will happen to them?  Will they be saved?  Does a person need to trust in the Lord Jesus Christ in order to be saved? These questions are asked again

     The apostle Peter tells us that there are some passages in the writings of the apostle Paul that are difficult to understand and that some persons would wrestle with these passages unto their own destruction.  “As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood,

     Can a person who has been saved lose his salvation?  This question has been a perplexing one to many.  Maybe you have been questioning the genuineness of your salvation.  Are you really saved?  Are you really sure?     Consider the alternative, that you could lose your salvation.  By virtue of the fact that you could lose it, would mean that keeping salvation

“Go to hell” is an expression that people often use.  If they really understood what that means, they probably wouldn’t use it.  Hell is real and many will find themselves in hell one day.  Unfortunately, there is no way out or no escape from hell.  It appears from Scripture that the majority of people will wind up in hell.  Jesus

     The new birth is as real as the first birth.  The Lord Jesus Christ said to Nicodemus, “that which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit (John 3:6).”     When a child is born into the world, a new life comes into existence.  This life has a

1.     The Charismatic Movement is willing to accept tongues, interpretation of tongues, visions, dreams, prophecies, etc. as being messages from God to His children.  This is a very serious danger.  Once you accept “extra-Biblical messages” (those which are in addition to the Bible, but not necessarily contrary to the Bible) it will not be long before you

     Most Christians are not aware of how serious it is to add to what Jesus Christ has finished!  It is the difference between whether or not a person is saved.  It is the difference between heaven and hell.     The salvation that God has provided through Jesus Christ is by grace.  “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and

     The Bible presents Jesus Christ as having three offices of Prophet, Priest, and King.  Many times we don't focus in on the person of the Lord Jesus Christ as He serves as Prophet, Priest, and King.  The prophet is God's representative with the people.  The priest is the people's representative with God.  The king is God's ruler over the

     Every Christian has a ministry given to him by the Lord.  In fact, every Christian has the same ministry given to him by the Lord.  This does not mean that every Christian will have the same occupation or that he will not have different areas that he may serve.  II Corinthians 5:18 tells us that God, “hath given

     The center of Christianity is not the birthday of the Lord Jesus Christ.  The center of Christian worship is the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.  The Lord left us two ordinances to observe.  They are Baptism and the Lord's Supper.  Both remind us of the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.     In Baptism,

     The simple gospel message is being corrupted every day by the use of terms or phrases that Christians use to invite the lost to be saved. These terms demand or imply that human works or human effort is a part of the plan of salvation! Biblical salvation is wholly of the Lord and is “Not
