Exceeding Great and Precious Promises

Some of you have lived in a time where a man’s word was his bond. An affirmation and a handshake were suitable to seal a deal. In today’s society, with lying being so rampant and commonplace, we sometimes do not know who, or what, to believe. With that being said, I am absolutely certain that

Absolute Devotion

There are many individuals in this world who want blessings from God. However, there are not nearly as many individuals who are truly devoted to the LORD. It seems that some people have developed a pseudo-faith, which is demonstrated only when they want something from God. When sickness or hard times rear their head, they

False Hope

Did you know that it is possible to believe a lie? It is true! Yet, just because I believe something, that does not make it so.

As Paul continued his work in the first century, it happened that he made a stop in Caesarea. While there, a man named Agabus came from Judaea with a sobering prophecy. It is recorded, “And when he was come unto us, he took Paul’s girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus

Deliver Such An One Unto Satan

How do you think you would feel if you gave your children a command to obey, but then they simply ignored the command? I imagine that it would upset you. Now, imagine how God must feel when He gives us a command, and then we refuse to obey it. Anger, disappointment, and hurt are just

Should We Still Follow The Old Law Of Moses?

A sign by the road with some of the ten commandments

A large problem that exists in the religious world is what we should do about the Old Testament. There are some who believe that it’s correct to still use the Old Testament as our modern day standard bearer. Then there are some who believe that the Old Testament is no longer valid today, and

To have sat at the feet of Jesus, and to have heard Him teach, would have been a life changing event. Our Lord had a way of teaching that was different from every other person’s.
