     | 2,323 views

    The purpose of life; the work of God’s creative community, is posed by Jesus as a paradox. Of course a paradox is a statement or proposition that, despite sound, (or apparently sound) reasoning from acceptable premises, leads to a conclusion that seems senseless...

    based on 56 ratings

    We long for peace in our world, in our communities, in our families, and even in our churches. Real peace is a condition of the soul, not our outward circumstances.

    We long for peace. We want peace in the Middle East, Europe, and in Korea. We want peace in our land. We are troubled by scenes of people buying gas masks, duct tape, and plastic. We are even more troubled at the sight of a toddler taking out her pacifier to put on a gas mask. We long for peace in ...read more

    based on 24 ratings
     | 2,171 views

    This is the most pertinent question being raised by a world today. While it looks to the outward, God clearly mandates that it is possible only in His Son, Jesus Christ.

    “How Can I Be Saved?” Romans 10:9 A. It begins with CONFESSING Jesus Christ as LORD. (v. 9a) That if shalt confess with thy mouth the LORD Jesus Romans 3:23; 6:23; 5:6, 8, 10; Matthew 10:32-33; Luke 12:8; John 9:22; 12:42-43; Romans 14:11; Philippians 2:11; 1 John 4:2-3, 15; 5:1; 2 John 1:7 ...read more

    Scriptural Baptism

     | 941 views

    When are we commanded to baptize. According to Matthew, it is after they are taught. Baptism is an outward sign of the work that has already taken place in our lives by the Lord.

    The Great Commission of evangelizing the world was given to the New Testament church. Jesus didn’t say anything that he didn’t mean. Our job is not complete until the convert is baptized. Baptism is not a secondary doctrine to be argued about. I. Baptism Part of Great Commission 1. Matthew ...read more
