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

Founder:  Victor Paul WierwilleHeadquarters:  New Knoxville, OhioDate Founded:  It is hard to fix a date for this cult, but the following are significant dates:     a.  1942- Date God revealed to Wierwille his teachings.     b.  1968- Date of first real growth which was mostly gained from the Jesus Movement.     c.   1953- The date that Wierwille started the “Power for Abundant Living” courses.Cult Name:  The Way

Is there a penalty to be paid if I do not serve the Lord?  I believe the answer is “Yes”.  Let’s begin by looking at Deuteronomy 28:47-48 which says, “Because thou servest not the Lord thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things; therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which

     Who cares?  Do you?  Jesus Christ gave the command, “Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15),” nearly two thousand years ago.  And yet the world is not reached.  Why hasn't the world been reached?  Does any one care?1.     God cares.  “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that

     Jewish people need to trust Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour in order to be saved just as the Gentiles do.  As far as salvation is concerned, there is no difference between the Jew and the Gentile.  The Scripture says in Romans 10:12, “For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the

     What a wonderful thing it is to know for sure that you are saved!  A young couple recently asked me, “But, how can I know that I am saved?”  This is a good question and one that is asked often.  Every believer needs to have the assurance that he or she is saved.     I was always led to believe

     Don't follow the numbers game.  The Christian crowd can be wrong!  Once a person trusts the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour, he is saved forever (John 6:37-39).  After a person is saved he is expected to become a disciple.  Are there any indications in Scripture as to how many become disciples or continue as disciples?     First, let's look

     “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
