No Lie Is Of The Truth

Contributed by Trae Durden on Jun 10, 2013

Knowing the Bible for oneself is the only sure way to have confidence in our salvation. The Christian faith is an individual and personal faith. But many trust their faith to the study of others, and in turn are led astray by lies.

Being Born From Above

Contributed by Gaither Bailey on Feb 29, 2008

Jesus tells Nicodemus that he must be willing to be changed into the person God would have him be. And I believe what Jesus said to Nicodemus applies to families and churches as well as to individuals.

Being Born From Above – John 3: 1 - 17 Intro: 3 men died and were standing at the pearly gates. “What have you done to deserve heaven?” asked Peter.

The Grace Afforded The Saints

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Sep 23, 2018

Promises are only as good as the ability of the one making the promise. Often promises are made, and yet the individual is unable to keep the promise. Such is never the case with the Lord. What He has promised, He will provide!

The Grace afforded the Saints 2 Peter 1: 3-4 It is interesting to note, Peter penned this letter near the end of his life, V.14.
