     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 […]

But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.  As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.Galatians 1:8, 9.     “The word

     Jesus is either a liar, or He is God who came in the person of Jesus Christ to die for your sins and mine.  In John 14:6, “Jesus saith unto him, l am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”  Some reject the claims of Christ and at

     JESUS CHRIST is the Savior of the world and the fulfillment of all Biblical prophecies.  In the classic text of John 1:1, John declares that the Word existed not only “in the beginning,” when He was “with God,” but also that He actually “was God.”  This is the Word that became incarnate as real man in Jesus

     Jesus Christ laid His credibility on the line when He said, “For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth (Matthew 12:40).”  If, therefore, the story of Jonah is not true then the story

     “When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats (Matthew 25:31-32).”     Much confusion

Was Saul, the King of Israel, ever saved?  Or was he saved and then later lost his salvation as some have said?  This whole subject raises the question about how persons were saved in the Old Testament times and whether anyone once saved could be lost.  Saul and his salvation is debated in many theological quarters.  A question that

     As we near the Lord's return, we need a checklist of things that we ought to make sure that we are doing.  I Thessalonians Chapter five gives us such a checklist.     When the Lord Jesus Christ returns for us at the rapture, every believer will be raptured or caught up with the Lord (I Thessalonians 5:14-18).  So, if

     The Lord's Supper and Water Baptism are the two ordinances that the Lord has given to us during the present age.  The Lord's Supper is to be practiced repeatedly, whereas water baptism is to be observed only once by the believer in the Lord Jesus Christ.  Scripture tells us in I Corinthians 11:2, “Now I praise you,

SHABBAT:     In recognition of the 4th Commandment, “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy…for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth…and rested on the seventh day…. (Exodus 20:8-11).”  Jews observe Friday evening and Saturday as a day of rest, joy and spiritual renewal.  To usher in the Sabbath, candles are lit Friday before sunset.  Ceremonial blessings

     The number 666 has been a fascination for people down through time, and it is a number associated with the devil.  God has forewarned us of a time when the man of sin, a superhuman dictator (II Thessalonians 2:4), known at the Beast, will be given power over all kindreds and tongues and nations.  And all that

     The Christian home today is under assault.  There are over 1,000,000 divorces in our country each year with devastating effects.  One million divorces means two million spouses plus several million children are effected each year by divorce.  Perhaps as many as six million a year are directly affected by divorce.  The bitterness, and the emotional turmoil is felt by

Again, the kingdom of Heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. Matthew 13:44.     When Jesus spoke in parables, he spoke not to reveal truth but conceal truth.  Jesus said to His

     There is a great deal of confusion about the Holy Spirit in the world today.  Perhaps, this is because the author of confusion, who is Satan according to I Corinthians 14:33, is working behind the scenes to create this confusion.  Satan is contrasted with the Holy Spirit many times by being identified as the spirit of this

     Is there a home in heaven?  Where do the dead go?  Have you ever wondered where you would live after you die?  Do you have a new home waiting for you?  In one of the most familiar passages in the Bible, Jesus Christ answers these questions.  He says, “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also

Sometimes we don’t realize how important our hearing is as related to our spiritual life.  We must hear spiritually in order to be saved. Jesus said, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed

     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

     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

     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

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

     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

     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
