A few days ago the Jaques clan (children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren) was having a family get-together where the subjects of conversation can take any number of directions. At one point the subject turned to religion. I probably do not need to tell you where I fit in with the others in the spiritual realm. Only […]

The name nicolaus means “conqueror (nico) of people” (laus), from which we get the word “laity.” Nicolas, who was chosen to help with the early church’s service to those in need, was a Gentile (heathen) proselyte who, when he was “converted,” failed to leave his former religion behind. Instead, he chose to blend it with […]

The word Nicolaitans is found only three times the Holy Bible. The word Nicholas is mentioned only once. However, as this series will reveal, the man (Nicholas) and the church group he established (Nicholaitans) has had a tremendous impact on the Church of God in the past and continues to do so today. To fully […]

The Apostle Paul’s epistle to the church at Rome summarizes the apostasy of the Institutional Church which, because the nation follows the lead of the church, is resulting in the downfall (apostasy) of America and all other “Christian nations.” When in office, former U.S. President Barach Obama made a statement that infuriated millions of church […]

The Lord’s first commandment forbids those who seek Him to have any gods before (beside/in front of) Him. He is a jealous God, as jealous as He is holy (Josh. 24:19). He is equally jealous of His Sabbaths and His place in the life of the salvation seeker. He will allow no other week day […]

Ultimately, any variation to any degree from the true Gospel sends the believer into idolatry, which is simply choosing any way other than God’s Ten Commandment way.

In support of the hundreds of “plans of salvation” being put forth by the two-headed, multi-bodied church we find a variety of “gospels” being preached. Except for the Gospel being proclaimed by God’s tiny rejected church, all of those gospels are counterfeit. Today we find different denominations preaching the “gospel of grace,” the “gospel of […]

THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD: The final segment in the series will expose the singular reason behind the dozen or so doctrines and customs that have played major roles in the church’s apostasy (falling away from the Lord). Simply put: the Catholic/Protestant Religious System which calls itself “the church” has rejected the Lord’s […]

ONLY BELIEVE: For almost 2000 years man has been told that faith in Jesus Christ guaranteed immediate salvation, a heavenly home where streets were paved in gold, etc. One night my wife and I were in town walking around when we met a preacher friend who told me that he had just led two boys […]

THE LAW: Another church “truth” believed by the modern church is that the Old Testament (the Law and the writings of the prophets) was “done away with,” God having “nailed it to the cross” of Jesus Christ. Therefore the Law has no place in the modern church. What is the Lord’s response to these church […]
