Many are confused about when a person is saved from their sins. Is it at the point of prayer or baptism? Perhaps this will clear things up:
Did the apostle Peter say, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins..." or "Repent and pray every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins..."? See Acts 2.38 for the Bible answer.
Did Ananias say, "And now why do…
Stephen E. Ambrose, writes in his book, Comrades, "Of all the friendships between brothers that I've known, none came close to that of the six Eisenhower boys. Partly that was because of their parents, partly because of their semi-rural setting, partly because there were so many of them and they had no sisters, partly it was because of their personalities. They had learned from David and Ida Eisenhower always to love one another, other people, and every manifestation of life around them. They grew…
In our writings we repeatedly emphasize the divine ideal that men and women exalt the New Testament as the only creed for the people of God in this dispensation of time. The New Testament constitutes the pattern for the establishment of Christianity in any nation upon the planet. These twenty-seven sacred documents embody Heaven’s final revelation to humanity.
Because of our stress upon the New Testament records, some have wondered what our posture is relative…

Common People, Common Sense The most profound truths can so often be evaluated and understood by just using common sense. The reality is that God did not write the Bible in such a way that only the most scholarly could … Read More

One of the most popular entertainers of the Vaudeville era was W.C. Fields (1880-1946). While Fields could make audiences roar with laughter, he was certainly not a Christian and made no pretense of his disdain for the Bible. Thus, it came as a great shock when one of Fields’ friends, visiting him in the hospital near the end of his life, found him reading the Bible one day. When asked what he was doing, Fields, ever the comedian, replied, “Just looking for loopholes.”
Friends, one day we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. In

2 Timothy 4:1-2: I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.
Paul’s second letter to Timothy is interesting, partly because it was a letter from a Jew - to a Jew - and written in Greek. But we’re lucky that it was written in Greek, because the language has such a depth of meaning in its words.
We see that depth of…
Judas Iscariot is a name that lives in infamy to all Christians and to many who know very little about the Bible. Although his name is readily recognized, what do we really know about Judas? His surname, Iscariot, means “a man of Kerioth” (All the Apostles of the Bible by Herbert Lockyer). Kerioth was a town located in the southeastern part of Judah. Based on this surname, Judas was likely a native of this town. His hometown made him a bit different from the other named apostles who were from Galilee, an area located in the northern…
