How well or poorly we do here might indeed determine our status in heaven for all eternity. God is seeking a bride who can sit ...read more

    An insiders look at our commandment to restore backslidden believers.

    Can the temporary errors a believer makes be atoned for after salvation? The question leaves much to be examined by a believer. If I am saved, and yet fall into sin, what then becomes of me? As humans we often make mistakes and later regret them. I recall a recent article in the St. Petersburg ...read more

    Tithing For Believers - Under Grace Or Law?

    Contributed by Graham Kettle on Feb 25, 2024
     | 1,146 views

    TITHING FOR BELIEVERS - UNDER GRACE OR LAW? One favourite text for promoting tithing is: Luke 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to ...read more
