     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 […]

     “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 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

     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

     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

     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

     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,

     “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

     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

1. The Blood of Christ provides a suitable covering for man's sin, guilt and shame.  Genesis 3:21.2. The Blood of Christ makes the one who offers it both acceptable to and accepted by God.  Genesis 4:1-6.3. Through the offering of the Blood of Christ, (we believers) have safety from the coming Judgment.  Exodus 12:13.4. The Blood of Christ

“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

     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,

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 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

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

     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

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

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

     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
