The Bible teaches an authority structure.  In the civil realm we are under the authority of government (Romans 12:1-4).  Also, government exists under God’s ordination and is accountable to God.  The Bible teaches the authority structure of God, Christ, man, woman, and then the children (I Corinthians 11:3; Ephesians 6:1) for the Christian home. In our work, we

     What is a disciple?  A disciple is one who makes a conscious decision to follow Christ in pursuit of becoming a fisher of men.  In the fourth chapter of the gospel of Matthew as the Lord Jesus Christ was walking by the sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Peter and Andrew.  Peter and Andrew were already saved

First Things First: On the threshold of the book of Proverbs is one of the key phrases to understanding the plan of God:  “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge (Proverbs 1:7).”  Of those who refuse this revelation, it is written, “they hated knowledge, and did not choose to fear the Lord: they would

     Should Christians use the 'E' word?  What does the term Easter mean?  In the Old Testament times the Bible talks about Ashtoreth and Baal worship in I Kings 11:5-6, “For Solomon went after Ashtoreth [Easter in english] the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.  And Solomon did evil in the sight of

     What is “Easy Believism”?  Usually the phrase “easy-believism” is a slam against those who teach that salvation is not by human works, but by faith in Jesus Christ alone.  It is clear from the Scriptures that salvation is received by faith only in the finished work of Jesus Christ.  “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and

     Today in Christianity a Madison Avenue approach is being used by many to market Jesus Christ to the unsaved world.  Their favorite approach is to say that what you need is “a relationship with Jesus Christ.”  The philosophy is that we are now dealing with the 'baby-boomers.'  The 'baby-boomers' have experienced broken relationships during their lives.  So, they say,

     Jesus is God who took on human flesh. He is the eternal Son of God, the second Person of the Godhead. Without Jesus Christ NO PERSON can enter heaven. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: NO MAN cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6” The name

     Can a person who has been saved lose his salvation?  This question has been a perplexing question to many.  Maybe you have been questioning the genuineness of your salvation.  Are you really saved?  Are you really sure?     Although the phrase “eternal security” does not occur in the Bible, phrases that are equivalent do occur.  Phrases such as everlasting life,

     In the final book of the Bible, in the final chapter, in the final verses, we have the final words of Jesus Christ.  These words are an invitation to every member of the human race to receive His forgiveness and the gift of eternal life.  “And the Spirit and the bride say, Come.  And let him that

     Perhaps there is no verse in the New Testament so misinterpreted and misunderstood as Acts 2:38.  Those who would add works to salvation that is by faith alone seem to use Acts 2:38 as their proof text, especially those who teach water baptism is necessary for salvation.  They try to use Acts 2:38 to support their view.     What

SalvationThe sole condition for receiving eternal salvation from hell is faith (trust) in the Lord Jesus Christ, who died a substitutionary death on the cross for man’s sin and rose from the dead.  (John 3:16-28; John 6:47; Acts 16:31)No act of obedience, preceding or following faith in the Lord Jesus Christ may be added to, or

None of the four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, mention the date, or the day, or the month, or the year in which Jesus was born. But we are told exactly when Jesus was crucified. He was crucified on the preparation [day before] day of the Passover. The Passover always occurred on the 14th

     Each of us who have trusted Jesus Christ as our personal Saviour have been appointed as His ambassador.  God has given every believer this wonderful privilege and opportunity to proclaim the gospel of the grace of God.  We are told in II Corinthians 5:20, “Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you

1. An accursed message is a perversion of the gospel of Christ.  Galatians 1:7.2. An accursed message is a perversion of the gospel of Christ, and therefore the teller of this message is telling a lie.  Proverbs 30:4-6.3. An accursed message is a perversion of the gospel of Christ and is a subtle way of calling God

Angels are mentioned one hundred and sixteen times in the Old Testament.  The Bible without a doubt teaches that there are angelic beings.Angels are created beings.  Psalm 148:2,5 speaks of their creation.  “Praise ye him, all his angels; praise ye him, all his hosts.  Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he commanded, and they were created.”The

     God has forewarned us of a time when the man of sin, a super human dictator known as the Beast, will be given power over all kindred, tongues and nations.  All that dwell upon the earth shall worship him (except the saints), and he will cause all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and

     Many unclear and unscriptural terms are being used today in presenting the gospel.  God's Word says, “Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech (II Corinthians 3:12).”     I believe our effectiveness in presenting the gospel is directly related to our clarity.  If we are not clear, then how will anyone understand what we

     As we go back into the dim twilight of history with Scripture, we learn that the founder of Bab-el, or Babylon, was Nimrod, of whose unholy achievements we read in the 10th chapter of Genesis.  He was the arch-apostate of the patriarchal age.  He is described as a “mighty hunter before the Lord”-“a hunter of the souls

(A listing and rebuttal of the heretical teachings of Mary Baker Eddy as recorded in her book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.)The Doctrine of Death:· Death is a mortal illusion, unreal and untrue.  (pp. 44, 289, 380, 427-28, 575, 584)     Answer:          Death of their own people.          Mary Baker Eddy died, or where is she?          Christ said

     What does it mean to “be converted”?  I believe that there has been a great deal of confusion centered around the term “conversion”.  Much of this confusion has served Satan's purpose to blind the lost (II Corinthians 4:4).     The hymn writer has it correct when he says, “What can wash away my sin?” and then answers the question,

     Have you given much thought to your tongue?  Do you look often at your tongue in the mirror?  Do you go on shopping trips for your tongue in the mall?  Do you diet to get your tongue back in shape?     Is your tongue beautiful?  Or is it ugly?  Of course, we are not talking about its physical beauty.  Although the tongue is
