Satanic Separatism Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 26, 2021

It is significant to note that the antichrists were not outsiders, but were those who were within, but who then went out of the church. This makes sense, for false doctrines seldom have their origins outside the church

Harry Emerson Fosdick has much thinking that is not acceptable to the evangelical Christian, but he also has many valuable insights that make his writings of real worth.

The whole duty of man is to love God and keep His commandments. From paradise lost to paradise regained this is the teaching of the Bible. The one condition for man's abiding in Paradise was obedience to God's command. In Rev. 22:14 we read, "Blessed are they who do His commandments, ...read more

The Church Is Apostolic Series

Contributed by Russell Metcalfe on Apr 1, 2021

The entire Christian church agrees that the church is, or is supposed to be "apostolic" in nature. And yet as you might expect, there are several different explanations of just what it means to be a part of the apostolic church.

Ephesians 2:14-22 The entire Christian church agrees that the church is, or is supposed to be "apostolic" in nature. And yet as you might expect, there are several different explanations of just what it means to be a part of the apostolic church. THE APOSTOLIC POSITION Some people say ...read more

Home Is Where The Soul Is

Contributed by Jason Jones on Nov 16, 2022

Focusing on what God has done for us in salvation will help us get through the truth that the world is not our home and we will not find satisfaction, rest, or peace except in Him.

A. Opening illustration: A real Christian is an odd number anyway. He feels supreme love for One whom he has never seen. Talks familiarly every day to Someone he cannot see.

Ransomed By The Blood Series

Contributed by Steven Buhr on Aug 31, 2023

We were ransomed – that means a price was paid for us. It means we WERE held hostage. Held by the futile ways of our sinful lives. Sin had a grip on us, it took us away from the paradise God originally intended for us
