The Antidote To Progressive Revisionism In The Church

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Apr 12, 2022

God gave laws known as the Ten Commandments for every human being to adhere to.

Religious leaders are always very good at legalism so they added 603 moral and legal codes (365 thou shalt not's and 248 thou shalt). Jesus accentuated the 10 Commandments because they are the key to knowledge about salvation (see Isaiah 42:21; Luke 11:52). The Bible says that "Only in ...read more

A Hope That Brings Life

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022

This message is for those who struggle with the moral decay of our nation. It is intended to remind us that we are not to conform to the world; but rather, we are to stand firm in the laws and statutes of the New Jerusalem.

St. Augustine wrote a book entitled the City of God, in which he discussed our identity with the holy city.(1) Throughout the Old and New Testaments, both Jews and Christians identified themselves with Jerusalem. Wherever they journeyed or resided, they did not consider themselves citizens of ...read more

Faith Not Legalism (Galatians 3)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 18, 2024

Did Jesus say that until heaven and earth pass away, obedience to the law remains? Did the apostles contradict Him? Let's find out in Galatians 3.

Paul explained how we are justified by grace through faith, not works of the law. How is Abraham a model for Christians? Who are the real children of Abraham? What about Christians who insist on the works of the law? Is the law continued in spirit, discontinued in the letter, and thus transformed ...read more

Has God Rejected Israel?

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 12, 2023

Has God rejected Israel? Let's let Paul answer that question in Romans 11.

Paul answers an important question. So I ask you, has God rejected his people? Absolutely not! I’m an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.
