As I have often made clear, nations fall in line with and take on the character of their religious leadership. Several Biblical proofs of this truth are found in the Lord’s words to and about the spiritual leadership of ancient Israel, the United States of America and Great Britain throughout recorded history. In order to […]

In order to answer that question it is necessary to know, believe and understand the Holy Bible in which He tells us how we must conduct our lives (“walk”–fulfill His will) in this life in order to inherit eternal life. Man has been reading most of His Word since the days of the prophets and […]

God’s Holy Spirit, working in and through Christ and His apostles, enabled the Lord’s Gospel to be preached throughout much of the world during their lifetimes. Through the power of the Spirit they not only preached the Word, but healed the sick, cast out demons, walked on water, multiplied food and performed other signs, wonders […]

In his epistles to the church at Corinth the Apostle Paul pulled no spiritual punches as he sought to draw the church back onto God’s “track” from which they had strayed. In chapter five of his first letter we find that, not only has a man in the church been living in a state of […]

In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus is speaking Words designed to be heard, read, believed and obeyed until His return to earth when He will call those to Him who, from the beginning of creation, believed and obeyed His Law, “righteous Abel” being His first true disciple.

In Ephesians 4 we find the Apostle Paul writing to the church in Ephesus and reminding her that when Jesus Christ ascended up to heaven following the establishment of His church on the Day of Pentecost 31 A.D., He left behind an energetic, spiritual body designed to spread the light of His Gospel throughout the […]

In Matthew’s Gospel beginning with the fifth chapter we find Jesus, having gone out into the countryside, has been followed by great multitudes of people from the neighboring areas who had either seen or heard about His ministry of healing sick people of every kind of physical and mental disease and affliction. Beginning with verse […]

In Second Thessalonians 2:3 we find the Apostle Paul writing to the church at Thessalonica concerning the second coming of Jesus Christ. It appears that some in the church were concerned that the world-as-we-know-it event would take place soon. Paul, who had received his Gospel directly from Jesus Christ through revelation (Gal. 1:12), replied that […]
