He Came Unto His Own
“He came unto his own, and they that were his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the […]
The Importance of God’s Word
Christians have only one authority, and that is the word of God, the Bible. It is absolutely divine in origin and we must understand just how important God’s word is in our lives. Second Timothy 3:16-17 gives us three great insights into the importance of God’s word. First, there is the production of God’s word. […]
The Bible, Science, Skepticism, and Creation
When one reads the biblical account of creation and the numerous passages appealing to that account, he must admit the clarity of the literal interpretation of the creation account affirmed in Scripture. Those who reject the obvious and consistent appeal of God’s word to the literal interpretation of the creation account do not search the […]
“I Myself Am Also a Man”
In the account of Peter and Cornelius in Acts 10, when Peter came to the house, Cornelius “met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshiped him” (v. 25). Acts 10:26 says, “But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.” This account is very interesting because one wonders […]
“I Don’t Do It, but …”
It is not uncommon to hear people say something like this: “I don’t drink socially, but I’m not sure that you can say, absolutely, that it is wrong to do so.” Or it might be, “I don’t dance, but I really don’t think that you can say it is wrong.” Or even, “We don’t use […]
Gods of This World: Science
Mankind has always been fascinated by the world around him. Humans of diverse civilizations and locations have investigated the movements of the stars and planets, the creatures around them, and the physical properties of their world. This attempt to understand the world around us is one of the most basic impulses of humanity. This is […]
“Crossing the Rubicon”
In 1967, Fanning Yater Tant wrote an editorial in The Gospel Guardian titled, “On the Banks of the Rubicon.” The title was taken from the common phrase “crossing the Rubicon,” referring to a small river crossed by Julius Caesar in defiance of the Roman senate. His treasonous action could have no result other than victory […]
Nobody Is Getting Left Behind
There are a ton of Left Behind fans, and they are especially excited since the movie was released a couple of weeks ago, but they are going to be very disappointed. The reason? The rapture is false. But it is often referred to as though it is a clear Bible subject. I am sure you […]
Natural Disasters and the Second Coming
With hurricane season starting, I thought I would revisit an article written a few years ago by Pat Robertson. He observed that earthquakes and hurricanes are “starting to hit with amazing regularity.” He said we “might be” in the “end times” described in the Bible. He noted, “If you read back in the Bible, the […]
Caring and Mercy
While many evolutionists say that a loving God is inconsistent with our cruel world, they overlook an important question. How does evolution explain mercy and caring? If evolution is true, the driving force of nature is the “survival of the fittest.” Any attempt to rescue these “less competitive” people would be working against the fundamental […]
