A Warning About Warnings Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 28, 2021

The warning of Christ gives us a warrant to be skeptical about all prophetic schemes of men. It gives us the authority to question and probe into the foundations and premises of all men's teachings, including our own.

Jesus loved Israel, for the Jews were God's people. He was their King, and He was as patriotic as any of Israel's leaders or kings. We cannot doubt that Jesus loved the Jews more than either Moses or Paul, both of whom were ready to perish for the sake of Israel. Nevertheless, Jesus did ...read more

Faith’s Essential Content Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Jun 3, 2024

Romans 4:23-25 provides a concise statement of the Christian faith: Lordship of Christ, his sacrificial death on the cross, and his resurrection. Salvation depends on believing these essentials. Religions that proclaim Jesus as a good teacher or prophet but deny these tenets are false religions.

Don't Accept Any Substitutes

Contributed by Edward Frey on Jun 5, 2002

There is no substitute for salvation through faith in Christ. There is no substitute for those who clearly teach such truth!
