We now come to the ultimate question: What do God’s Word, His way and eternal life have to do with death? The answer is: EVERYTHING. The death that God requires of salvation seekers is of two types. The first type is commonly referred to as “death to self.” The Apostle Paul wrote about this type […]

Motorcycle and bicycle riders know that one cannot remain still and stay upright–one either moves forward of falls. In the spiritual sense, if one stops growing one “falls away” from the Lord. As the Apostle Paul told church people then and tells them now, they must leave momma (the Institutional Church), reject breast milk and […]

One tends to consume that for which one hungers and thirsts. If one hungers and thirsts for righteousness and satisfies those desires with more and more Bible study, one eventually finds himself “addicted” to God’s Truth, which is Jesus Christ in written form: “I am the way, the TRUTH and the life” (Jn. 14:6). God’s […]

“I know all I need to know.” Those words were spoken to me by a dear, much loved, uber-religious relative who had just been informed that God commands church people to continually and honestly study to gain the approval of God (2 Tim. 2:10-15). The Apostle Paul was referring to the Holy Bible that contains […]

“What’s it all about?” is The Eternal Euestion that has no doubt been asked millions of times since the episode in the Garden of Eden. Having listened to their Creator, Adam and Eve knew the answer–Life was all about obeying His Words, which would create good standing with Him which He would reward with everlasting […]

Following the Korean “police action” America returned to business as usual, a business that featured self-exaltation, self-satisfaction and self-direction. Once again God was placed on the shelf–except on Sun (god) day morning when billions gathered around the globe to pay homage to Tammuz, the Biblical sun god. See The Mark of the Beast. The first […]

Exactly as He had done only a dozen years earlier, God sent Germany, along with Japan and Italy, to teach America and other “Christian nations” a much-needed lesson. And teach them they did. The early years of World War II found the Allies  losing to the Axis powers. Once again the churches filled with people […]

The Great Depression hit the United States like an unexpected bomb. Because of her global leadership position her financial meltdown quickly brought the rest of the world down with her. Never before had the world’s technologically advanced societies suffered such long-term, grinding poverty. Individually, nationally and globally, from the richest to the poorest, the agony […]

Human beings are crisis oriented when it comes to things spiritual. With extremely rare exception man will seek God when in trouble, but as soon as the trouble ends, it’s business as usual–until the next crisis. Everyone has heard of “foxhole conversions.” When the bullets are flying man tends to get religion. Once the lead stops […]

Bible students will notice that Almighty God established a cause and effect pattern in the Old Testament–a rule of life that can be summed up with these words: BEFORE WRATH COMES WARNING. Nothing has changed, not the sins of the people, not warnings, and as the world is about to find out, not the outpouring of His wrath. He is […]
