Supernatural Healing
According to recent polls, the majority of people that live in this country believe God can heal people supernaturally. In the recent article, they gave these statistics, “the majority of American adults (66%) believe people can be physically healed supernaturally by God. This majority is made up equally between those who either strongly (33%) or […]
Truth Can’t Compromise
The earth is round, not flat. For centuries people widely believed that the earth was flat, but they were wrong. Men like Pythagoras refused to compromise, and now, every photo taken from orbit proves Pythagoras right. Nature argues for a round earth. More importantly, the Bible says that the earth is round. The Bible is […]
Salvation by Faith
It has been shown that Paul taught that man is not saved by works, yet the word “works” has to be understood in a limited sense for if an unlimited sense were true, even faith would not save because faith is a work (John 6:29). The works by which man are not justified are works […]
The Opening of “Heaven’s Gate”
“Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the Lord, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit these people at all, saith the Lord.” Jeremiah 23:32 A couple of weeks […]
Science Increasingly Makes the Case for God
In 1966 Time magazine ran a cover story asking: Is God Dead? Many have accepted the cultural narrative that He’s obsolete — that as science progresses, there is less need for a “God” to explain the universe. Yet it turns out that the rumors of God’s death were premature. More amazing is that the relatively […]
Common Knowledge and the Scriptures
What we usually refer to as “common knowledge” is often “common” (shared), but is rarely “knowledge” (true or factual). Perhaps this is nowhere more evident than in regard to “common knowledge” of the Scriptures. Perhaps a few examples will help to illustrate the point. Many have said or believed such “common knowledge” precepts as: “Cleanliness […]
The High Cost of Generic Preaching
Preaching the gospel is not an easy task. It is not easy, nor pleasant, to give the people what they need to equip them to be strong and stand for the truth. And preachers, like everyone else, can grow weary in well-doing. Thus, some drift into generic preaching. It is not only easier, but it […]
“Behemoth” and “Leviathan” #2
After exploring in the previous article what the “Behemoth” and “Leviathan” were, and considering if they were figurative, we will now turn our attention to whether they can be identified as commonly known animals today. Was “Behemoth” a Hippo? We think not! First of all, think about how weak a hippo makes God look. God […]
“Behemoth” and “Leviathan” #1
Their fossilized remains were so immense and grand that shortly after their discovery Sir Richard Owen articulated the term “dinosaur” for a new order of animals in 1840 (deino=terrible; sauros=lizard). The Bible speaks of several different kinds of creatures in its historical pages. Two of the most fascinating ones are the “Behemoth” and the “Leviathan” […]
Works According to Paul and James #2
It was shown in an earlier article that in Romans 1-3 the gospel reveals a way for salvation from sin for all men (Rom. 1:16). In the gospel is revealed a “righteousness of God,” a way by which men can be regarded as just in God’s sight. Jew and Gentile both were sinners, and despite the […]
