Introduction: Meet the Real Jesus It’s time you met the real Jesus. It’s time you knew Him as He was: sometimes brusque, abrupt and authoritative. Always thoughtful, philosophical and profound. It’s time you knew that Jesus could be the kindest and most gentle human being on earth, showing boundless love, mercy and forgiveness to those…
Shocking? Yes, it is! Millions suppose Christ came to “save the world.” They believe He came to die for the sins of mankind, yet do not know what sin is. Millions think He came to establish the “Christian religion.” Almost no one knows why Christ really came to this earth, even though Christ plainly says so! He…
“For God SO LOVED the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life,” says God’s Word. “God IS LOVE,” wrote John. The primary attributes of God’s Holy Spirit are “love, joy, peace.” Yet, millions of people in the world around us, and all…
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8). Obviously, God has offered salvation by His GRACE, and through FAITH in Jesus Christ as Savior! Then WHY does the Bible say there are WORKS the…
Is It as “Simple as ABC”? A short while ago, as I dialed across my car radio, I came upon two evangelicals discussing how “simple” it was to be saved. The one said to the other, “It is as simple as ABC. A, you must realize that you have been a sinner. B, you must receive…
“The devil made me do it!” said Flip Wilson. Funny? You bet. Millions laugh at such quips. In daily conversation, people say they have a “devilish” good time; call a child a “little devil,” speak of a suffering friend as “poor devil,” or eat devil’s food cake. They may take pictures of the ocean pounding…
(Or is there something we must DO to enter the Kingdom of God?) Thousands of professing Christians and many large denominations insist there are no works required in order to receive salvation! Millions of people who profess Christ insist that the LAW is “done away”; that such things as the Sabbath, annual Sabbaths, clean and unclean meats, tithing…
Easter is the greatest of all “Christian” observances, closely followed by Christmas. It supposedly celebrates the resurrection of Christ. WHY, then, did Paul command the Gentile Christians to “show the Lord’s DEATH” till He come? Jesus Christ Himself celebrated His famous “Last Supper,” with His disciples, proclaiming that a bit of unleavened bread represented His…
Today, dozens, perhaps hundreds of small, independent groups meet together each Sabbath, eschewing any kind of “organized religion.” Is God’s church organized? Is all organization or structure in the church wrong? The closer you look at things man has made, the more chaos, irregularity, and imperfection you see. For example, even the period at the end of this…
All of us know there is something terribly wrong with our world. Only an unthinking, uncaring person could fail to be concerned over the rising tide of crime, political assassinations and international terrorism that makes up much of our news today. Despite the attempts of former President Jimmy Carter to make human rights a cornerstone of his…
