“For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.” - 1 Thessalonians 2:13 The “this… Continue reading A More Sure Word

Daily Walk (Part One)
Being as active as possible seems impossible. Did you watch a movie this week? You could have spent that time in the Bible. Did you go to the store and not witness to everyone you saw? Did you go on a hike with the family and not pull a fellow hiker aside and share the… Continue reading Daily Walk (Part One)
Delighting in God’s Will
“I delight to do thy will, O my God: Yea, thy law is within my heart.”Psalm 40:8 David was “a man after [God’s] own heart,” according to Acts 13:22. Therefore, his words should resonate with us if we want to be viewed the same way. David not only committed Scripture to memory, but kept it… Continue reading Delighting in God’s Will
Things Not Seen
“While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:18 Contemporary Americans are inundated with “things” which are seen. We concern ourselves with houses (and their furnishing),… Continue reading Things Not Seen
The Church (Part 3): The Churches of Revelation
The first week of the lessons on the church, we discussed the Trail of Blood – how Christianity began, how the disciples and early Church was martyred for the faith and how the Baptist line transcends denominations and runs parallel to Catholics and Protestants who both persecuted our Baptist forefathers. Last time, we discussed types… Continue reading The Church (Part 3): The Churches of Revelation
The Church (Part 2): The Body, The Bride, and the Battalion

The history of the Church and the line of the Baptists is riddled with suffering and sacrifice for the cause of Christ. Now, society is collapsing into carnality as our churches are… Continue reading The Church (Part 2): The Body, The Bride, and the Battalion
Shine in the Darkness
“But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. Use hospitality one to another without grudging.” - 1 Peter 4:7-9 As we are seemingly living through the “end of days,”… Continue reading Shine in the Darkness
Dead Bodies and Evil Spirits
Our bodies are animated clumps of dead flesh. The second we are conceived we begin the dying process. However, the spirit within us which is also dead can be made alive through salvation in Jesus Christ (Romans 8:10-11). This is the very concept that we find in John 3:5 when Jesus says "Except a man… Continue reading Dead Bodies and Evil Spirits
Going to Hell
From Heaven and Hell by Peter S. Ruckman We live in a time where many, MANY, churches do not preach in depth on Hell. They might mention it briefly as an alternative for Heaven, but preachers do not go in depth as to what Hell is like. Some do this because they want to focus… Continue reading Going to Hell
Does Christ Know You?
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and… Continue reading Does Christ Know You?
