A nation is only as strong as its family unit. Today, divorce decrees outstrip marriage licenses in many big cities. Millions of Americans have “live-in” mates, freely cohabiting together without legal sanction, without full commitment. Millions of single parents strive to earn enough money to support abandoned or illegitimate children. Most of America’s problems, like…
Prophecies for the End Time The Bible describes something as miry clay, mixed with iron. But iron and clay don’t mix! The prophecies describe ten-nations which will be unified together, but only for a short time. What is the unifying agent which will bring that about? The current France/German cooperation is without precedent! But, for numerous reasons,…
Why did Jesus say “And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but He that came down from heaven, even the son of man, which is in heaven”? (John 3:13). Jesus, who had just come from heaven, and who appeared in human flesh, said, plainly that Elijah was not in heaven! Yet the Bible says, “. . . Elijah went up by a…
Most Christ-professing people believe God is an unfathomable MYSTERY; a “Trinity.” This doctrine, proposed and accepted more than three hundred years after Christ, is held by the Roman Catholic church and dozens of Protestant denominations.

To suggest that something so innocent appearing as birthday observance is sinful is like attacking America, Mom and apple pie! Yet there are those who insist there are Bible grounds for avoiding parties, gift-giving, cakes and candies and singing ” Happy Birthday.” “Impossible!” you…
For years, network news media have questioned various religious leaders who had confidently predicted the “rapture” on a given date. Recently, one such would-be prophet was required to change his earlier book title about the “Rapture of 1988” to the “Rapture of 1989,” going into all manner of apologetic detail on why he had misfigured…
Is baptism necessary for salvation? When should it be done? Should infants be baptized? Should one be re-baptized in later years if one feels his first baptism was invalid? Should the living be baptized for the dead? What is the form for baptism? Sprinkling, pouring, or immersion? Can you be saved if you are not baptized? Who should do the baptizing? What if you were…
“Praise the Lord, I’m BORN AGAIN!” Millions of those who have come forward at evangelistic campaigns, or answered altar call at revival have spoken those words. Former President Jimmy Carter, whose sister is a well-known evangelist, considers himself a “born-again” Christian, as do thousands of others in notable professions. Just what does it mean to…
Probably the best known alleged “resident” in heaven is the famous beggar Lazarus! Countless millions have heard the story of “Lazarus and the rich man,” much embellished, and with impassioned attacks against the unfeeling, insufferable hauteur of the rich and their disdainful contempt for the plight of the poor. The famous parable of Luke 16…
