What Is the Kingdom of God?

The word “kingdom” is used by men in a variety of ways, but our interest concerns how the word is used in relationship to God. Our study will be confined to this because we have begun a study of “the kingdom of God;” a subject which was first preached by John, then followed swiftly by […]

Are Sinners Still Going to Hell?

I ask this question because, as I attend funerals and read FB posts, I listen to people talk of those who have died — who obviously died outside of Christ and living wicked lives — as now being saved and in the arms of Jesus? Really? I am no man’s judge, but the Judge did […]

Manchester and the Islamic State

On May 22, 2017, the gruesome news of yet another terrorist attack appeared. The bombing in Manchester, England killed 22 people and injured 60. The Islamic State claimed responsibility later in the day. Founded in 2006 and comprised of Sunni Muslims, the Islamic State is committed to purifying the world by killing vast numbers of […]

Calvinism #2

In the last post, we begin examining the basis of Calvin’s premise: the depravity of man. Calvin rightly reasoned that if the depravity of man is total, he can have no part in his own salvation. His every thought and intent is evil. He is incapable of doing good. Even the attempts to do good […]

The Imputation of Christ’s Righteousness

Too much cannot be said or written about the greatness of Jesus Christ. To the Christian, He is the foundation and the expectation of a glorious resurrection (1 Corinthians 3:11). The scriptures present Jesus as God incarnate, one who was born of a virgin, lived sinlessly and died triumphantly (Matthew 1:21-23; 26:28; Colossians 2:9; Hebrews […]

Calvinism #1

Martin Luther was one of the most prominent theologians of the Reformation movement. Because of his influence, most Protestant groups today believe that salvation is obtained by faith alone. His influence on Protestant denominations is rivaled only by John Calvin. Calvin was born in 1509 and came to adulthood under the influences of the Reformation […]

Is One Denomination as Good as Another?

Since the question is worded this way, I am going to say “yes.” If the question would have read, “Is one church as good as another?” then my answer would have quite different. By definition, a denomination is a religious sect that was founded usually around the teachings of one man. For example, the Baptist’s […]

The “Sons of God” and “Daughters of Men”

In Genesis 6:1-4, there is a statement that has caused a lot of speculation: “And it came to pass when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives […]

One Young Man’s Mistake

It seems so innocent in the beginning. I’ll just dry my car off by speeding. So the young man continued on that path and he was clipping down the highway at about 90 mph in a 55. Then he saw in the distance a car that looked like a cop and sure enough it was. […]

Handling Controversy

We know it is hard for many who have followed our writings, preaching and social media posts over the years will find this hard to believe, but we do not like controversy! We had much rather live at peace with all men. We could very easily adapt the “see no evil, hear no evil, speak […]
