What Saves?

There is a grave misconception among a lot of people that one solitary act saves us from our sins. Most of the time, the act put forth is faith. We dare not isolate or tell God the means by which we will be saved! If and when we do, we are not properly dividing the […]

Hurricane Gustav Preparations

Thankfully, we made it through the hurricane safely. We need to remember people in flooded areas in our prayers and help as we have the opportunity. We may very well get hit with other storms throughout this hurricane season, but we are thankful to God for everyone’s safety. My wife and I prepared as best […]

“Do You Think I Am Going to Hell?”

Sometimes when one is feeling challenged about his religious beliefs, he will ask, “Do you think I am going to hell?” One’s faith is a very personal matter. For some people, suggesting that their faith is insufficient is crossing a line. However, a cursory glance at the Bible reveals three important facts. First, man will […]

Evangelism Motivators

Evangelism is essential for growth. If we don’t do the work then no work gets done. Unfortunately our attitude is not always good toward evangelism. We get tired and discouraged because we see little success from our efforts. Then the devil steps in and starts whispering, “What’s the use? No one wants to hear the […]

The Babylonian Exile #7

Faced with the threat of execution, Daniel and his companions went in prayer to Him who is the revealer of secrets and sees into the innermost recesses of the heart. How long God waited ere He responded to these men’s fervent pleas is not revealed; the important thing is that He did respond. “Then was […]

A Diamond in the Rough

One spring, before the Civil War, a boy in search of work came to Worthy Taylor’s prosperous Ohio farm. The farmer knew nothing much about the boy except that his name was Jim, but he gave him a job anyway. Before the summer was over, Jim had fallen in love with Taylor’s daughter. When the […]

Shakin’ in Yer Boots

In the first century, a Roman philosopher named Rodan of Alexandria said, “Only a brave person is willing to honestly admit, and fearlessly to face, what a sincere and logical mind discovers.” With that in mind, what does the mind discover? First and foremost, when we consider the stance from evolutionists, complete with its faulty […]

How Can a Man Understand?

Proverbs 20:24 says, “Man’s goings are of the Lord; how can a man then understand his own way?” God’s control of our lives is beyond human comprehension. This proverb asks a rhetorical question regarding this topic: since the steps of a mighty person are from the Lord — how, then, can anyone discern or “understand” […]

The Image of Jesus?

A few years ago, an Ohio woman saw what she thought looked like Christ on the cross when she went for her ultrasound for her baby due in August. She was shocked to see the image and said, “People say maybe my baby is gonna be blessed and maybe it is a good sign.” She […]

“Whosoever Will …”

John, in Revelation 22:17, wrote, “And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” During the presidency of Andrew Jackson, George Wilson robbed a federal payroll from a train and in the process killed a guard. The court convicted him and sentenced him to hang. Because of public sentiment against capital punishment, however, […]
