Seven times in the Holy Scriptures God characterizes His true believers as “peculiar.” Twice He calls them His “peculiar treasure.” In 1 Peter 2:9 He says of His Very Elect: “… you are a chosen generation (group), a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people that you should show forth the praises of Him […]

Have you ever notice that babies react negatively when being held by someone they do not recognize? This reaction is automatic; no one has to teach them to exhibit this characteristic. In many cases they will cry and attempt to get away from the unfamiliar face. This trait remains with them throughout their lives. Whether […]

Following the second world war a man wrote about his combat experience and the fact that during that time he was dependent on native people for his survival as he fought against America’s enemy. He wrote that without those natives, who risked their lives to keep him safe, he would not have survived.  As a […]

True Scriptural headlines: “Only Believe.”  “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.” By using only a few of the Words of the Lord Jesus Himself, the Scriptures prove that faith is only the first of many steps leading to eternal life. One will notice that the word “IF” is included in […]

After decades of intense Bible study I state without hesitation that this series presents one of the most important, eternity-determining, life-or-death teachings to be found in the Holy Scriptures. Ironically, its message has been summarily rejected by the masses of professing Christendom who simply refuse to believe and obey the Words of the living God. […]

For this reason He gave […]

In the series titled “Bait and Switch” I introduced the reader to an age-old trick played by retailers to draw unsuspecting customers into their stores. In this ruse the store owner advertises a certain high dollar item that is priced so low that those in need of the item cannot resist. The large, eye-catching ad […]

Christian conservatives present themselves as preservers of that “Old Time Religion” that supposedly  retained the Truth recorded in the Holy Bible. Is this true? Was that Old Time Religion the same religion practiced by the original church? Are Christendom’s storm troopers the preservers of Scriptural Truth they claim to be? One need only listen to […]

Irony is the use of words to mean the exact opposite of what is expected. History’s ultimate irony involves a promise of eternal life that has in fact produced eternal death. In the third chapter of Genesis we find the Serpent of Eden telling Eve that rebellion against God’s command would result in life, not […]

The Bible is the written record of God’s way of life, the way in which He commands all people conduct their lives. Those who obey His commands will spend eternity with Him in His earthly kingdom. Those who do not will be burned to ash in the Lake of Fire. Those who obey Him will […]
