God has made this same Jesus Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. I hear people speak of a Jesus who is trying his best to save everyone, for it is contrary to his will for […]
Throughout the book of Romans, when Paul refers to those who walk after the flesh and those who walk after the Spirit he is speaking of religious folks, not immoral folks. The commandments of men teach that believers are yet under the law which was given at Mt. Sinai. Most say that the believer is […]
True or false professors There is a distinguishing difference between a true child of God and a false professor. The Bible is filled with illustrations of this truth – Mt 7:22-23; Mt 23:27; Mt 25:32; John 14:21; 1John 3:14. This discernible difference is characterized from an inward presence of the indwelling Spirit of God which […]
Why Are We Persecuted? Matthew 5: 10-12 Persecution means to push away. It includes everything from words of rejection to being tortured unto death. Matthew 5: 3 By grace, the believer confesses the utter sin he is in the flesh. Those who think they possess some good or some strength or are deserving of God’s […]
Not ashamed of the Gospel. Paul the apostle declares (by divine revelation) that he is not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ. This Gospel, the message concerning the person of Christ, is the power of God unto salvation. It is the message alone by which the Holy Ghost calls men effectually out of spiritual darkness […]

Circumcision; Necessary or Sufficient? One of the biggest issues in the New Testament was the issue of circumcision. There was a large group of people who professed to believe the Gospel of Christ. But they also believed it was needful to be circumcised (Acts. 15:1-11, Galatians 5:1-6). They did not deny the necessity of the death, […]
What’s the Difference? 1 Cor. 4:7 A gospel preacher friend of mine was asked a few years ago, “What’s the difference between what you preach and what is being preached in churches that preach another message? — and, if what you’re preaching is true, how do I know that it’s true?” My friend’s response was […]
Making the Blood of Christ an unholy thing “Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?” (Hebrews 10:29) […]
THE WAY THEY CALL HERESY But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets. (Acts 24:14) There is only one message that agrees and fully satisfies all that is […]
