The New Evangelicalism

     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

Nile River – A Sign

     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

Egypt In Prophecy

     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

Elders

     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

Everlasting Life

     “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

Faith Without Works

     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,

False Theories Of Inspiration

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,

The Family As A Testimony

     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

Final Hours?

     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

Finances

     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

Galatians

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

Getting Your Crown

     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

Giving Like Christ

     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

Good Friday?

     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

Gospel Causes Division

     “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 Which Is Filthy

“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

The Heathen?

     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

Hebrews 10:26

     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,

Hebrews 6:4-6

     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

Hell! Where Is It?

“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

Born Again! What Happened?

     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
