    Mystery Babylon:, The Protestants, America, Mexico, Vatican I Series

     | 3,664 views

    Babylon is dealt a heavy blow as people begin to stream out of her, fight against her, and even discover a new world free from her influence (at least at the beginning). How will she respond to all of these changes?

    FORTY-THREE: PROTESTANTISM This book is not meant to be an endorsement of "Protestantism" over Catholicism, though you may be shocked to hear me say it. It is not quite that simple. For example, "Protestant" England comes about in part as a result of the love-life of Henry VIII. Henry refuses to ...read more

    “the Paradox Of Blessedness!” Series

    Contributed by Douglas Sherwood on Oct 10, 2015
     | 4,651 views

    Though salvation is free, when you accept Jesus as Lord, God does not promise the road will be easy. What He does promise is that He will not give us more than we can bear, and that He will be with us always!

    What does it cost? That is a question we often ask when purchasing something. We way what the perceived value is, and what the asking price is, and if we think it’s a good enough deal, we take our hard-earned money, and we purchase it. Sometimes we buy cheap and we get cheap . . . Ever ...read more

    For Every Rule, There Are Always Exceptions

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 14, 2015
     | 6,918 views

    The only way we can be transformed and freed is through faith in Christ. That faith will transform us and free us by giving us power to do God’s work in our world-and that is the true spirit of the Sabbath.

    Have you ever noticed that every time you turn around, there seems to be another rule for you to obey? Have you ever noticed that some of these rules seem to be foolish? Well, I certainly have in both cases. To make matters worse, there are cases where no exceptions can be made to these rules, even ...read more

    By Grace Alone Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 2, 2017
     | 10,352 views

    Grace refers to God lavishing us with free gifts, His undeserved and unearned favor. His gifts include salvation, forgiveness of sins, endurance, strengthening and encouragement, the virtues he develops in us, and a host of other gracious gifts.

    By Grace Alone (Romans 11:6, 4:16, Ephesians 2:8-9) 1. There is a joke on the net that makes a good point about salvation by grace. A man dies and goes to heaven. The admittance angel meets him at the pearly gates. The angel says, "Here's how it works. You need 100 points to make it into heaven. ...read more

    Skirmish With The Status Quo Series

    Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Feb 2, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,110 views

    Jesus begins his ministry and immediately clashes with the understanding of the people and the forces of evil. Jesus confronts the status quo of our live seeking to free us from the chains that bind us and to enable us to experience true freedom.

    Mark 1:21-28 “Skirmish with the Status Quo” INTRODUCTION The beginning of Mark’s gospel is in stark contrast to those of the other gospel writers. You do not find a boring list of Jesus’ ancestors, as you do in Matthew, nor the heartwarming story of Jesus’ birth ...read more

    Who Is Your True Mother?

    Contributed by Malcolm Rogers on Apr 14, 2016
     | 4,491 views

    Where are our true origins? We can only be free from death and law and the need to justify ourselves when we realise that our real mother is not from this world, but that we are children of the heavenly Jerusalem, of the promise of God

    Paul writes, ‘The other woman corresponds to the Jerusalem above; she is free and she is our mother’ (Galatians 4.26) It is strange language. Why not ‘home’? It would make more sense But when Paul talks about ‘our mother’, he is speaking of our origins. Our ...read more

    INTRO: Raising kids made me realize that much has changed from the time I was a child until the time I became a parent; especially, in the area of child protection. For instance, when I was a child, I’m not sure car seats were even invented yet. Truth is, the first car with seatbelts that I ...read more

     | 6,220 views

    Paul felt he was called into the ministry in order that all people might understand that salvation was free, a truth that had been concealed for ages. The impact of this great truth is that he felt that he had a message of incalculable value for mankind.
