    Contributed by Dr. Jerry N. Watts on Mar 22, 2007
    based on 9 ratings
     | 16,165 views

    Of all the things scripture expresses concern about, it is "deception" among God’s crown creation.

    Matthew, Mark and Luke record an interesting verbal interchange between Jesus and His disciples. It concerns the “end of days.” They asked Him, “tell us about the sign of the end.” Jesus’ initial response was almost ominous, “watch that no one deceive you”… Have you ever been deceived? How did ...read more

    Just as surely as Gil Grissum of CSI (Las Vegas) says, "follow the evidence", so does God’s word in determining who is of the Father and who isn’t.

    Reconciling scriptures that suggests that some people (like Jacob & Moses) saw God face to face and scriptures that say "No one has seen God".

    1 John 3:2 “Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.” Rev 21:23-25 “The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God ...read more

    99 And 44/100% Pure

    Contributed by Keith Broyles on Dec 4, 2007

     | 4,649 views

    None of us are perfect, but maybe with the help of God we can get to be 99 and 44/100% pure.

    One of the real catchwords that advertisers love to use these days is pure. I guess the thinking goes that if the company can convince us, the consumers, that the product is pure, we will buy it. If we really stop, and we listen to what people are saying, we can hear them using the word “pure” ...read more
