China & Iran: More Moral Than The USA?

Those of us who live in the United States tend to think of China and Iran as rather evil places. One is Communist the other Islamist. One officially denies God; the other officially denies the true God. Both imprison Christians. No doubt, there is much evil in both nations. However, there are [...]

It Takes A Study?

It is stunning how men waste time and money to find answers when God has already given them to us. Perhaps the biggest waste of all is the US space program. It is devoted to finding out the mysteries of the universe, chiefly the origin of it. If they would just open [...]

AUDIO: Galatians - Introduction

The book of Galatians has two basic themes: 1. A defense of Paul’s apostleship; 2. The destruction of false teaching, namely Judaizing doctrine. As always, Paul does a superb job on both points.

Do You Believe Every Church Teaches The Truth?

The fact is they cannot.
Various churches teach contradictory doctrines and practice things that are sometimes polar opposites. Sadly, the vast majority of churches teach and practice error. That is not just my opinion, it is taught in Scripture. Jesus said

A Fight To The Death
Ephesians 6

In ancient Rome there were “sports” matches that were to the death. You may readily think of the gladiators in the coliseum. They also had wrestling matches (rasslin’ for some of you) that were to the death. This is the imagery Paul had in mind when he penned Ephesians 6:10-13.
Finally, my brethren, [...]

Revelation 8-11

Revelation 4-7 give us a picture of God being in control and the Lamb fulfilling God’s purposes. In the next section, chapters 8-11, John writes about the opening of the seventh seal.
The first four trumpets sound judgment on natural elements (Rev. 8). The seventh seal begins with silence in heaven (8:1, 2). [...]
