Though not an Adolph Hitler fan, I find his dictum true: “Tell a lie often enough and people will believe it.” And though not a fan of Communism, I find its dictum also true: “Capture the heart when it is young and you will own it forever.” Sex-crazed, sex-obsessed religious progressives are determined to pervert […]

Perversion: deviation from the normal. Webster’s Concise Dictionary, Encyclopedic Edition. Every sin, regardless of type, is an act of perversion–deviation from God’s Word. Liars, thieves, murderers–all are perverts by definition in that, relative to God’s Word, they all deviate from His Will as expressed in His Word.

Titus 2:11-14–Paul’s letter to Titus reveals, among other things, the true purpose of grace–to enable men to be saved by teaching them to reject all ungodliness, to live soberly, godly and righteously in this life, to look for the blessed hope of the appearing of Jesus Christ who is preparing for Himself a special people […]

Contrary to popular religious opinion, WORKS is not a dirty word. So says the Lord.

Last evening I heard a discussion concerning gay marriage, the definition of marriage and who should decide which sex one should marry–one’s own or the opposite.

Recently, when asked about his relationship with the Lord, a popular politician replied that his relationship with God was good because, “I believe in Jesus Christ.” The governor’s statement did not shock me because I have found that to be the attitude of hundreds of millions of self-professed Christians world-wide. “I believe in Jesus; I […]

That the Lord sent out His prophets and apostles to preach and teach the Gospel of the Kingdom of God is evidenced throughout the Scriptures. As stated in the previous posting, after His resurrection and ascencion to heaven, Jesus returned to earth where, for 40 days, He spoke to His followers about “the things pertaining […]

Having established that it is the kingdom message that men are to preach and teach in this life, let us take note of the emphasis Jesus placed on that message. This is brought out in Matthew 24 where we find Him and His disciples coming out of the Temple in Jerusalem. Having make much of […]
