Becoming a Christian is one of the easiest things you can do. It has often been said, and I think it is true, that the only thing easier than becoming a Christian is not becoming a Christian. God has made His plan of salvation simple enough for all to comprehend and obey. It is not […]

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” (Hebrews 11:6). These are the famous words of the Hebrews writer that reveal the importance of faith. Without faith there is no pleasing […]

There are many religious people today who deny the essentiality of baptism. “We are saved by faith only” is the popular cry in religious circles. It is said that baptism is a work and that we are not saved by works; thus, baptism really isn’t necessary. First, the Bible does not teach that no work […]

The Hebrew writer tells us that it is impossible for God to lie (Hebrews 6:18). This means that we can completely trust God’s word. Whatever His word says is truth (John 17:17).

Have you ever read a scary book? It is apparently quite enjoyable because many people read them. I’m not sure why scary books are such a big hit, but they always have been. Maybe it’s the suspense involved in not knowing what is going to happen next. Maybe it’s the rush experienced when one is […]

I have often pointed out that living the life of a Christian is not always easy. We are always endangered by the assaults of Satan. Peter said, “…the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8). Furthermore, we are always under the pressure of giving in to materialism […]

There are those today, even in certain religious circles, who would deny the resurrection of Christ.
