     “Repent of Sin.”  This often-quoted phrase “repent of sin” does not even occur in the Bible.  Most people are quite shocked to find that it does not appear in the Scripture.  Nowhere does the Scripture use the phrase, “repent of sin” to be saved.  Scripture does say in Acts 20:21, “repentance toward God” (change of mind), and “faith toward

     Have you ever wondered about the “WOMAN” of Revelation chapter 17?  She represents a religious (worldwide) system that had its beginnings in ancient Babylon and will have its final headquarters in Rome during the Tribulation period.  God will judge the religious system and destroy it during the Tribulation.     H. A. Ironside, a past pastor of Moody Memorial Church,

What is your testimony?  I believe this term is so misused that most folks don't even know what is their testimony.  In churches people are often asked to give a testimony.  Usually someone will volunteer and say that their testimony is that God has healed them of some illness, or has helped them through some difficult crisis, or

Dispensation defined:A dispensation is a period of time during which man is tested in respect of obedience to some specific revelation of the will of God. Seven such dispensations are distinguished in Scripture. It is very important to realize that in every dispensation salvation has been by grace alone (Acts 10:43).The First Dispensation: Innocency.   Man

     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

     Abraham and Lot were both saved men.  Both went to heaven.  Yet both men took a totally different path as far as the Christian life is concerned.  Lot walked by sight, whereas Abraham walked by faith.     Concerning the salvation of Abraham and Lot, we will take a look at the scriptures.  In fact, Romans 4:3 says, “For what saith scripture?  Abraham

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

Abel was a shepherd.  (Genesis 4:2)It was as a shepherd that he presented his offering unto God.  (Genesis 4:4)Though giving no cause for it, Abel was hated by his brother.  (Genesis 4:8)Cain was jealous of his brother Abel and it was out of envy the Cain slew Abel.  (Genesis 4:7)Abel did not die a natural death.  (Genesis 4:8)Abel met a

     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

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
