Can a saved person ever be lost again?
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye head the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whome also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. Ephesians 1:13-14 KJV The subject I have chosen to write on has been debated more than any other subject in scripture. There are those who be...

The Breaking of Bread
In Luke 22:19, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ makes a simple request of us, “this do in remembrance of me.” What are we to do in remembrance of Him? We are to break bread and drink the fruit of the vine in memory of the sacrifice he made on the cross for us. It seems to me that most people do not want to remember the Lord’s death very often. They may partake of the Lord’s supper monthly, quarterly, yearly, or not at all. Most excuse their a...

The battle between the two natures
But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity tot he law of sin, which is in my members. Romans 7:23 KJV I used to say that when God saved someone, that He changed their old nature. After careful study of the word of God, I now realize that is not true. What actually happens when God saves a sinner is that he gives us a new natures that lives in the same body as the old nature. Th...

Three crosses
There were three crosses on Golgotha, and three men hung there in great agony and humiliation as they awaited death. Crucifixion usually began by first beating the criminal to a bloody pulp and then forcing him to carry the crossbeam of his cross to the place of execution. There his executioners stripped him naked and nailed him to the crossbeam he had carried. The crossbeam was then raised to the upright part of the cross, and a large spike ...

God’s Precepts and Promises
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (Genesis 1:1) I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. (Revelation 1:8) I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be forever, nothing can be put to it, nor anything taken from it; and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. (Ecclesiastes 3:14) The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wis...

The words of God or the words of man
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing because when ye received the word of God, which ye heard from us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you. I Thessalonians 2:13 KJV He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. John 8:47 KJV I have been very troubled as of late at the attacks from false prophets on...

Prepare to meet thy God
“And as it is appointed men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Heb. 9:27) I have been accused by some, of harping on death and the judgment too much. Friends, I harp on it for good reason, for life on this earth is very uncertain. Some of us may have a disease or physical condition that will certainly kill us eventually. Some know they are going to die soon, but any of us can die of a heart attack or stroke in the next few minutes, or...

Who are we?
Isaiah tells us the day would come when God would give his people a new name and that name would come from the mouth of Jehovah (Isaiah 62:2). Luke tells us that it was in Antioch that the disciples were first called Christians (Acts 11:26). This sacred name was bestowed on the believers by God to glorify his Son. This name certainly glorifies our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It is a name we should wear proudly and never dishonor by any mea...

The Myth of Free Will
O lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. Jeremiah 10:23 KJV The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord. Psalms 37:23 KJV Most people say that they believe in “free will.” Sadly, as with many other doctrines in the Word of God, people pick upon one liners and catch words without properly examining the Bible for the answer. I do not deny that man has a will, however, t...

Jesus taught of love and of hell
He that loves not, knows not God, for God is love (I John 4:8). I think we can all agree that Jesus was a messenger of love. We cannot disagree that he came to this earth with a heart of compassion and unsurpassed affection for mankind. His instruction for our life was love for God as well as love for one another (Mark 12:30-31). It would seem paradoxical that Jesus, who himself is divine love, has more to say about hell and eternal punishmen...

Good Friday
Elie Weisel who survived the holocaust wrote a horrifying memoir of his life as a German Jew under the terror of Nazism. One day in his life in the prison camp stands out for him for the cruelty and darkness. As difficult as the story of that day is to read and endure, I share it with you. “The three victims mounted together onto the scaffold. The three necks were placed at the same moment within the nooses. ‘Long live liberty!’ cried the t...

Religion
What is religion? This is a disturbing question and the best way to start an argument, or a war, is to ask someone about his or her religion and then disagree with them. Does it not seem strange then, that the peoples of this earth would spend so much time talking about and practicing a particular religion? One cannot read and believe the Bible and still cling to religion. Religion is not the way to God and with all the religions in the world...

Great works and small
On occasion we are motivated to perform some good work that will benefit the welfare of others. Civic leaders do this on a regular basis. Churches and social agencies continue to aid the poor and needy. Health workers strive to keep us healthy. Some of this altruistic work is acknowledged by the community, and other good deeds are accomplished quietly. And then there are the mundane actives of our daily lives that seem to take up most of ou...

Prove all things
Have you ever wondered why there is such serious diversity and differences in regards to the many religious beliefs and teachings? The main reason I would submit is that most do not check out what they are being taught with the true standard, which is God’s Holy Word. If we will only look to this same word we will find a commandment, to do that very thing. God tells us through his inspired apostle Paul, “Prove all things; hold fast that which...

The importance of Bible preaching
“But has in due time manifested His word through preaching, which was committed to me according to the commandment of God our Savior.” Titus 1:3 KJV If there has ever been a time that Bible preaching is needed, it is today. There are many today that profess to be Christians who deny that the Bible is God’s inspired word. Those who believe such things have many problems. The main one is that the very foundation of Christianity is the wo...

Pride
Pride is that elusive bit of human nature that is easily recognized, yet so hard to control. The battle against pride is lost the very moment victory is claimed. If I say I am humble, I am boasting and humility has flown. With boasting comes pride, and pride delights in itself and brings about arrogance. Pride, unlike humility, is not an elusive thing. No one can claim to be humble, for when one thinks himself humble, he becomes a braggart....
