  • Jesus Christ: The Great Evangelist, Part 1

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 6, 2022
     | 1,458 views

    In the fourth chapter of John's Gospel, the Lord Jesus is presented as the Great Evangelist. From the time He won Nathaniel (John 1:48-51) to the thief on the cross (Luke 23:39-43), He was busy bringing sinners to Himself.

    In Chapter 4 of his Gospel, John has us turn our attention to the Lord Jesus as the Master Soul-Winner and our example for sharing the good news of salvation to everyone regardless of background, culture, nationality, or any circumstance. No one is exempt from hearing and receiving the message ...read more

  • Jesus Christ: The Great Evangelist, Part 2

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 11, 2022
     | 1,288 views

    The Lord Jesus went out of His way to bring the Gospel to an anonymous woman. Her life was one of sin and isolation from others. Despite her attitude and resistance, she was won over to the grace and mercy of God. We are to follow His example.

    No one is to be neglected or avoided when it comes to presenting the Good News of salvation found only in the Lord Jesus Christ (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; 1 John 2:1-2). As we read through the fourth chapter of John's Gospel, we see how Jesus went out of HIs way to give this offer of redemption ...read more

  • A Gracious Act And An Ungrateful Recipient

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 16, 2022
     | 2,174 views

    The miracle of the healing of the lame man in John 5:1-17 was a demonstration not only of the power of the Lord Jesus but was also an example of the grace of God that too many people take for granted.

    The Scriptures contain numerous accounts of the healing power of God. He has the power, grace, and mercy that is HIs Holy character. He has the authority to grant the restoration of health to anyone He sovereignly chooses. Scripture tells of health being restored to people through intercession ...read more

  • Four Theories Used To Explain Creation Apart From Scripture: Introduction

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 14, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,638 views

    In a foolish attempt to placate the world, some believers have devised alternative theories of how we came into existence apart from the supernatural and historical account presented in Genesis 1-2.

    "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always BE READY TO GIVE A DEFENSE to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ...read more

  • Alternative Creation Theory No. 1: Theistic Evolution

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 15, 2023
     | 1,121 views

    The first theory of creation apart from Scripture teaches that God used evolution as part of the creative process. Is this a viable explanation for our origins? What does science and the Bible have to say about this idea?

    Our look at the first of the four alternative theories to the biblical account of creation begins with what I would refer to as a philosophical mix of oil and water. On the surface, this theory might sound feasible for those who worship at the altar of reason and compromise, but it falls short ...read more

  • Alternative Creation Theory No.2 - The Gap Theory

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 21, 2023
     | 1,800 views

    There are four "theories" used by some believers to explain our origins apart from the biblical account of creation. We looked at "theistic evolution". Now we will look at the "Gap Theory". Is it a legitimate alternative? We need to examine its claims.

    Four basic creation "theories" have been promoted by Christian theists over the years as alternatives to the biblical account of creation as recorded in the book of Genesis. They are theistic evolution, the gap theory, the day/age theory, and progressive creationism, each one contrived ...read more

  • Alternate Theory Of Creation No. 3 - The "day/Age" Theory

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 24, 2023
     | 1,400 views

    Another theory of the creation of the universe in opposition to the record given in Genesis 1 is the "Day/Age" Theory, and like the previous two we looked at, has neither the science or Scriptural foundation to verify its claim.

    We have looked at two of four "theories of creation" used to explain our origins apart from what is clearly and unapologetically presented in the first chapter of Genesis. The first theory is known as "theistic evolution", which teaches that God used evolution as part of the ...read more

  • Alternate Theory Of Creation No. 4 -Progressive Creationism

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 25, 2023
     | 1,292 views

    This is the last of four messages on the alternatives of creation often presented to skeptics and the scientific community apart from what is described in Genesis 1. This final message deals with "progressive creationism", another example of the futility of man's "wisdom".

    We have looked at four alternative theories that some Christians use to either defend or explain to a skeptical world how everything came into being instead of what is clearly presented in Genesis 1. The world system took advantage of our withdrawal from the scientific community soon after the ...read more

  • In Terms Of Eternity

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 11, 2023
     | 1,493 views

    The Bible teaches that after death (Hebrews 9:27), we will face judgment and enter eternity, either heaven or hell. Consider what that means and how it should motivate us to spread the Gospel in these last days.

    The Bible teaches that from the moment we are conceived, we are destined to live forever (Psalm 61:7; Daniel 12:2; Matthew 25:46: Romans 2:7). The LORD God Almighty saw fit to create us, give us meaning, a purpose, and conscience to use for His glory and our benefit (Psalm 73:25-28; Romans ...read more

  • The First Evangelistic Sermon

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 11, 2023
     | 935 views

    The fall of humanity as recorded in Genesis 3 shows the consequences of rebellion but also the promise of redemption from a merciful God who desires that no one perish, but that everyone would come to Him for everlasting life.

    The first eleven chapters of the book of Genesis are an authentic record of the beginning of the universe and the world. It is the work of Almighty God and is a testimony to logic, rationality, meaning, purpose, and the precise design of what we know as science. Within the first two chapters ...read more

  • Sin's Blood-Stained Progression

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 18, 2023
     | 1,172 views

    The tragic story of Cain and Abel did not have to happen if only Cain had controlled his emotions and listened to the counsel of God. Instead, we witness the first murder and the further progression of humanity's rebellion and wickedness.

    In the first verses of Genesis 4, we are introduced to two sons of Adam and Eve, two attitudes of reverence towards God, one act of obedience, one act of defiance, a refusal to heed sound advice, and the horrendous consequences of rebellion. We witness remorse, selfish concern, and the gradual ...read more

  • Enoch: A Man Who Walked With God

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 19, 2023
     | 1,541 views

    Enoch is mentioned in only handful of verses, yet his influence as a man of God made an impact in his time and the times to come.

    The Bible tells of men and women who were used by God as judges, warriors, kings, statesmen, prophets, and preachers. The Bible does not hold back on showing us that they were also susceptible to a range of faults, failures, and sins that caused some, like Samson and David, to live with the ...read more

  • Noah: God's Preacher In The Midst Of Perverse Times

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 2, 2023
     | 957 views

    Noah and the ark (Genesis 6-8) like everything else in Genesis, is authentic history with an authentic warning to get right with God before it is too late. It is a call from God for us to repent and be saved from the wrath to come.

    When we read about the events of Genesis, Chapters 6-8, we forget that this is not a children's story, but an actual historical event recorded by Moses dealing with the effects of sin upon the world and the fact of God's certain judgment. Noah's task was to not only build the ark ...read more

  • Noah's Ark: An Illustration Of Christ's Mission Of Salvation

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 2, 2023
     | 2,044 views

    The ark that God commanded Noah to build serves as a portrait of the Lord Jesus Christ and the salvation He provides to anyone who calls upon Him.

    All throughout Scripture, the Lord God Almighty gives us specific guidelines on how to approach and worship Him. Scripture shows us the necessity of repentance and the means by which we must be saved. The act of salvation, or rescue from our sins is not of our own planning, thought, or actions. ...read more

  • Noah's Ark: A Symbol Of God's Sovereignty

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 2, 2023
     | 1,512 views

    The idea for the design and building of the Ark did not originate in the mind of Noah. The Ark was God's idea and preconceived plan of rescue for anyone who would enter to escape the wrath to come. God has everything under control and will bring everything to a conclusion on His terms.

    The Bible says that Noah built the Ark, but did not come up with the idea. The Ark was from the mind and heart of God. If God had not spoken to Noah, he would have died in the flood along with his pagan neighbors. Genesis 6:8 says that Noah "found grace in the eyes of the LORD". This ...read more
