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

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
