The gospel is the greatest of all messages, but it is more than just a great message, it is a superior covenant as well. It involves precious promises, important instructions, and commandments that must be kept, while, at the same time, offering us unmatchable hope. As Christians, we must never be ashamed of the gospel. […]
Every day we are in a battle. The devil does not rest. He does not take days off or go on breaks. He spends all his time trying to defeat us, and he often has his way with those who are weak in faith. So, we must do everything we can to be strong. We […]
What is your soul worth to you? Is it worth the riches and wonders of this world? Would you consider exchanging your soul for the power, popularity, and prestige that might be obtained in this world? Most people that have a religious interest would say no to this question; yet, this is what many in […]
There are those who teach that we are born in sin. We have, they say, inherited the corrupt nature of Adam. The Bible does not teach such a thing. There are many places we could turn to in the word of God to show that children are not born sinners. However, one of the best […]
The presence of evil has been in the world ever since sin was introduced into it. David once said, “Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me” (Psalm 51:5). This is not saying, as some suppose, that David was born a sinner. In the previous verse, he had […]
We should all know that the first place the devil tries to attack when he assaults man is the heart. I am not talking about the physical heart, but the one the Bible speaks of, that is, the mind.

The Bible teaches that the Word of God produces faith (Romans 10:17), but that is dependent on the reception of it by the hearer. Sadly, the gospel is rejected by more people than not. That is why the gate to destruction is so wide (Matthew 7:13). While the world has rejected the Word of God, […]
The title of this blog might sound like a man-made philosophy that involves some type of reincarnation. The truth is, however, it is a biblical truth that is not referring to physical death and life. This is how Paul put it. Romans 6:8 (ESV) 8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that […]
Sometimes good things are highjacked by misinformed people and used incorrectly. For example, the name “Church of God” is a perfectly scriptural name for a church to wear since the New Testament church was sometimes referred to as such (1 Corinthian 1:2); however, a man-made, denominational church has highjacked the name and so, even though […]
The Bible clearly teaches that we will be judged by the life that we live. We all will have to answer for our actions. Paul made this abundantly clear. 2 Corinthians 5:10 (ESV) 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for […]
