    The Plain Gospel

    THE PLAIN GOSPEL 
           (Ron Halbrook)

     

         The Missionary Baptist Church tract on “The Plain Gospel” asks, “Are you among many today who are confused as to which religion,...denomination,...church, or...preacher is right?  They cannot all be right, can they?”  The tract correctly teaches the only thing that matters is “what the Bible actually says.”  It is our sole authority in all matters relating to salvation and service to God (2 Pet. 1:3).

         The author creates confusion when he claims, “You were born into the world with a…

    Quiet Time with the Father

    Quiet Time with the Father

    In a world overflowing with information, we are constantly surrounded by voices
    offering advice, encouragement, and direction. Friends lend an ear, family share
    their experiences, books reveal human insight, and the internet offers endless
    opinions on every imaginable topic. While many of these sources can be helpful
    and even wise, they are still ultimately human and limited. They may speak from
    love, knowledge, or good intentions, but they don’t have the eternal perspective,
    or the flawless wisdom and love of God. For those who truly seek clarity and
    purpose, there is no substitute for turning to…

    If Only

     

    If Only


    If only I made just a little bit more.
    If only it cost just a little bit less.
    If only I had just a little more time.
    If only my house wasn’t quite such a mess.
    I’d share with the needy. I know I’d give more!
    I’d open my home with more zeal than before.
    “If only. If only! If only…” I say.
    “If only my life had worked out in that way.”
    If only I knew those I see every day.
    If only my friendships had come with rapport.
    If only I knew all the…

    Sheep that are More than Conquerors

    SHEEP THAT ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS
    (Constant Coulibaly)

     

    Years ago, when I was at the school of Journalism, we learned a writing technique that consists of grabbing the reader's attention when crafting an article. This practice is common to various areas in the field of mass communication (advertising, marketing, public relations, broadcasting, etc.).

    Over the years that I have been a student of the Bible, I have learned that God employs similar techniques when speaking to His people. One way He does this is through the use of contrasts. Here is an…

    The Blind Hymn Writer

    The Blind Hymn Writer
    Most who read this will probably recognize these hymns:
    Blessed Assurance : To God Be the Glory
    He Hideth My Soul : I Am Thine, O Lord
    Jesus Is Tenderly Calling : All the Way My Savior Leads Me
    Pass Me Not, O Gentle Saviour : Praise Him! Praise Him!
    Rescue the Perishing : Safe in the Arms of Jesus
    Savior, More Than Life to Me : Tell Me the Story of Jesus
    All of these, plus over 8000 more, were written by one woman, Fanny J. Crosby!
    It is even thought that she employed nearly…

    Somebody

    Somebody

    When you’re nobody the air feels different. You move between characters in
    motion, occupying the roles of our lives. You speak to them as to a wall that
    echoes. But really, in life’s brevity, is your presence too momentary for people to
    REALLY know you? Your practical priorities may not line up. Your visual style
    could offend. The message you’re sounding is not one that is HEARD. As
    christians, what etchings do we trace into our mortal design? Creation’s first
    intent manifested the Most Holy will of One.
    Scripture recalls God taking presence with man, “And they heard the sound…
