Betraying Christ with a kiss Judas betrayed his Master with a KISS! He came to the Lord with evil in his heart, the price of a compromise in his hand, religious devils at his side, and said, “Hail Master”, as he planted a KISS on the Lord’s cheek! This is how most apostates and compromisers […]
REASONS FOR ATTENDING CHURCH SERVICES Based upon the Word of God, human nature, and from personal experience, I conclude that many people who attend church services are merely RELIGIOUS. The Lord said to a group of religious folk, “Well hath Isaiah prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people draweth nigh unto me […]
What Does God Require? Henry Mahan If a person has concern and doubts about his hope of grace and eternal glory, he might consider the following questions. 1. God requires perfection. Am I perfect? No! Then do I have ONE who is perfect to stand for me, and I in Him? 2. Do I have […]

Those who reject grace, reject truth; and those who reject truth, reject grace. “Grace reigns through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” (Rom. 5:2l). The grace […]
A BELIEVER’S PEACE Where does a believer find real and genuine peace? On what foundation can we rest and say in truth, “It is well with my soul?” I’ll tell you; it lies in this, that we are justified by faith and not by works. Christ Jesus stood in my place before God. I was […]
WHAT ABOUT YOU? I can imagine the day of judgment. All are gathered before the throne of God. Those who are robed in the perfect robe of Christ’s righteousness are gathered to His right hand.
