This year Passover begins at sundown on April 2 at which time the Passover meal is undertaken along with the traditional wine and unleavened bread communion service. This is followed by seven days of unleavened bread which begin on April 2 with the Passover meal and end on April 10 at sundown. Actually, there eight […]

In the third chapter of his second letter to Timothy written just before his death, Paul warned the young evangelist that in the last days perilous times would come (vs 1). Men would come to love themselves and the things that would give them pleasure more that they would love God (vss 2-4). Note the […]

God uses leaven to symbolize religious man’s tendency to make himself more important than he is. One of the ways in which he does this is through Bible interpretation, which is a sin (2 Pet. 1:20). First, man changes God’s Truth (Jn. 17:17) into what it “should be,” then, having corrected His mistakes, man  internalizes […]

Perversion: The act of perverting; the state of being perverted. Perverse: Different or varying from the correct or normal. Pervert: To turn to an improper use; to lead astray, to corrupt; one who practices perversion. In John 6:68 the disciple Peter voiced perhaps the most important words ever spoken concerning salvation. Responding to a question […]

Let us return to the Word/Works/Faith/Salvation connection. Man will live with the Lord in the next life only if he lives by faith in this life. Faith is obeying God’s WORD, which is the WORKS He speaks of in His WORD. This principle is so important that He speaks of it repeatedly in the Word […]

I recently listened to a Muslim terrorist who spoke for all such terrorists. His words hit me in the face like a right cross. He said that Muslim terrorists fervently wish for HARDSHIP. Why? BECAUSE IT KEEPS THEIR MINDS FOCUSED ON THEIR GOD. This is why they destroy everything they win in war. This is […]

Having established the FAITH/WORD/WORK connection, let us see how God values the foundation upon which all Biblical faith and work rest–His Word/Truth (Jn. 17:17). The goal, the focus, the ultimate outcome of the saints “walk” (life work) is to OVERCOME Satan–to WORK/OBEY God’s Word, thereby robbing the devil of a place in the saint’s life. […]

Faith is believing God’s Word. But faith alone is not enough to affect salvation. Faith must be exhibited, else faith is dead. How can one have dead faith? God tells us. One of the favorite names by which man has labeled his religious organizations involves the word “Faith.” Yet approximately 90% of the foundation upon […]

Today the Pope visited a prison where he was met by criminals of every sort whose acts are declared to be sins by the God of the Bible. When asked how the Catholic Church should approach them he replied: “Don’t hand them a rule book; engage them.” In other words, don’t tell them about God’s […]

Biblical faith is believing God’s Word, which is His Truth, His will and His way. With that in mind let us look at Second Timothy chapter three for one of the most plainly expressed statements of God concerning His attitude toward His Word. “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come […]
