The other day I was talking to a young lady who seemed to me one of the “beautiful people”—just starting a family and wanting just the truth for them. During the conversation she said. “A lot of preachers are ‘cherry pickers’.”—meaning they pick out a scripture, take it out of context, and try to make …
I’ve been asked many times. “Why are you so hard on false teachers?” “Why don’t you just ignore them?” “After all, what harm do they do?” “As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, …
My great-grandfather might have said. “Why that’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.” He would have meant—you have given him an impossible task. Two hundred years ago that might have been true, but with today’s technology, radar, and metal detectors we could find that needle. The same is true about the Bible. Years …
It just takes a little common sense for a person to realize that the Bible has to be the inspired word of God. One good reason is that this “Good Book” stated many scientific facts before mankind knew that there was such a thing as science. I have great respect for science the word itself …
If my memory serves me correctly, I believe it was in 1958 that I was hospitalized in a military hospital—Castle Air Force Base Merced, California. The problem was ‘loss of blood’ (service connected) so they took good care of me. I can’t remember how many days or how much blood they gave me. I do …
(Hebrews 11:1) “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” I know I am repeating myself, but this is important! We must get this one right. Hebrews 11:1 is God’s definition of faith. Most Christians, preachers included, define faith as “a leap in the dark”. A few days …
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say (or write) it again—This time I want to shout it from the “roof top”—No one appointed me a ruler or judge! The scriptures will do the judging (John 12:48). (1 Peter 4:11) “If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God.” At this time, I …
The Bible, that “Grand Old Book”, gives us a true history of man from the Garden of Eden down to our present time. When we read, one thing becomes apparent—history does repeat itself! We see time and time again that God’s chosen people remained faithful for a period of time; then they would disregard God’s …
In most any town, even small towns, you can find 6 or 7 churches. They have preachers (?) that they look to as religious leaders. If you get these preachers together and start asking questions, the 6 or 7 different answers you get will bring one word to mind—insanity! They all say that they use …
Well, now did you become angry when you read the last article dealing with just one word—“body”? Use your Common Sense and your honest heart, and you will “get over it”. When you realize that Ephesians 4:4 will read the same at the judgement as it does today. (John 12:48) ” He that rejecteth me, …
