    It’s amazing how similar the climate in the Holy Land is to the climate here in South Texas, especially in the summer. The figs in our back yard are ripening, and I understand that this hot month in Palestine is also the season for ripe figs. The Scriptures are right even on agricultural ...read more

    Are You A Legalist? Or An Illegalist?

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 15, 2013
     | 3,050 views

    Are you a legalist, or are you an illegalist? In other words, do you follow the law of God, or do you disobey the law of God? It is not a bad thing to be labeled a legalist. Satan has used this creative title to try to deceive many people to disobey God.

    Matthew 7:13-27 Who in this room would consider themselves a legalist? This is the topic that I would like to briefly talk to you about tonight: Legalism, or “The Lie of Legalism.” Since the beginning of the Lord’s church, the devil has held nothing back; He has created so many ...read more
