Do You Go to Church?

  Many people, when asked about their relationship with God, will offer up some religious credential. Some will lay claim to membership in some church group or have been baptized or some other religious activity. Others, when asked about their standing with the God of creation, will hold on to some supernatural religious experience.  The

Who Do You Think You Are?!

Do you think you have a right to have God answer your questions? Do you question God’s right to oversee and direct His creation without question? Many people demand why God allows, what we view as ‘great injustices’, to happen. In the account of the life of Job, we see such a case. Job had wrapped himself

Repentance or Confession

Revealing the Nature of Evil If you are a child of God these words define your new life:  “Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.” (Psa 97:10) To experience salvation, one must not only call on the name

Knock Knock

Where is Your Focus? Living a lifestyle that is full of multitasking makes it difficult to give the proper attention to any single activity or responsibility in our lives. Benjamin Franklin is often misquoted with the expression, “Jack of all trades, master of none.” What he said was not “master of none” but “master of one.” To

Living in Fear and Doubt

Are You a Cross-Carrying Christian?

Set Free! God is in the liberating business. We find in the scripture these words, “…ye have been called unto liberty.” (Gal 5:13) We have not been set free only to be in bondage to sin or to a system of belief. When the nation of Israel was repatriated to Zion, the Psalmist declared: “The Lord hath

Looking For Loopholes

The Original Answer Book Reading the Bible is the first step in understanding God and His work in your life. Many of life’s questions can be answered as we read the word of God. Apostle Paul told Timothy:  “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for

Furnish Your Soul

Search the Scriptures What is the purpose of the Holy Scripture? Was it left behind as a road map to finding riches and health? Was God’s motivation for His Spirit speaking through men to give a code of living that would bring His blessings? Why did God leave a record of Himself to the world?

Why Am I Still Here?

Heaven Bound Why don't followers of Jesus just go to Heaven when they are saved? This is the question often asked and seldom answered. Jesus said: “I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.” (John 17:15) Jesus did not come to collect
