Unfulfilled Prophecies Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

If you enjoy speculating about the order of events of that day, it is your privilege, but please do not label such speculations as the Word of God, for it is such practices that has made the glorious doctrine of the second coming a stumbling block to many.

The New Testament makes it clear that Jesus came into the world the first time, not to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. It is equally clear that when He comes the second time, He will come to end the day of grace and judge all men who have not taken advantage of ...read more

Jesus Says, Follow Me

High Time To Make Changes

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Feb 22, 2025

Worship Jesus Only

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 13, 2022

When the opinion of men supersedes the opinion of God, we are focusing too much on people; and there are believers who unknowingly worship people. But the only one whom we should be seeking to please and worship is Jesus.

John once shared the account of some people who had denied Christ for fear of what the Pharisees would think.

Faith Cometh By…

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

Look especially at verse 6, we read, “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

Also, let us look at Romans 10:13-17 All churches that are Bible preaching churches, preach regularly on the doctrines of the Bible. Many of the doctrines of the Bible are both SIMPLE and COMPLEX. Faith is one of those doctrines. For example: • It is so simple a child can understand it • It is ...read more

Do The Jewish Festivals Reveal A Timeline For The Return Of Jesus?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jan 2, 2025

Some say that there is no understanding of Bible prophecy without understanding the Festivals and their typology and patterns.

Since the early 1800s, when replacement theology found a foothold in the Church, some believe that once a person ‘grasps’ the meaning of the ‘festivals in the Bible,’ they will begin to understand the prophetic future of Jesus’ return with perfect clarity, and specifically a Pre-Tribulation ...read more
