• Does God Really Care?

  …ered ridicule, hatred, continual persecution from his enemies in so far as they were able to do it, was continually judged to be evil, and finally was betrayed, beaten, and murdered without justice.  What a life to live.  Put yourself in his place.  During his lifetime every move he made, every word he spoke, was cast in the worst light possible by his enemies.  As far as they were concerned he could do no good.  How would you like to have people…

• Christianity–Who Rules Reason or Emotions?

  A man is either led in life by his reason or his emotions and which makes all the difference in the world.  A life ruled by emotions is a life destined for disaster, a life where reason is always found in the back seat where it cannot be heard over the roar of the engine of emotion as it propels an individual down the road of life. When emotions rule your life everything is done on the basis of feelings with minimal thought being given to truth …

The Sonship of Christ  (Be sure and scroll down the page once you get to it.  This is an extremely unique and valuable one of a kind sermon.  It details the relationship of Christ the Son with God the Father like nothing else I have ever read, a late 1800′s ser…

• The Kind of Faith in God That Destroys

  …the word is used to stand for and represent everything that Christ requires of us (the word “faith” or “believe” used as a synecdoche). It is the kind of faith where if God told you to go out and offer your only begotten son as a sacrifice, as he did Abraham, you would do it.  It is the kind of faith where if you were told to go build an ark for there would be a worldwide flood you would believe it enough to do it.  It is …

• Israel’s Rebellion at the Red Sea

  The children of Israel that God sent Moses to bring out of Egyptian bondage into the Promised Land were a faithless group almost from the very beginning.  Their rebellion against God began before Mt. Sinai and even before the Red Sea crossing.  The Psalmist said, “Our fathers in Egypt did not understand your wonders; they did not remember the multitude of your mercies, but rebelled by the sea–the Red Sea.” (Psa. 106:7 NKJV)  It…

• The Faithfulness of Jesus to God the Father

  …he himself became subject (willingly) to the Father. The Hebrew writer makes this clear when he says: “But to the son he says: ‘Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom.  You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness more than your companions.’” (Heb. 1:8-9 NKJV) Jesus who was himself God (read…

• Why Men Do Not Believe

  …osed to the truth in all good conscience but that will not make my error into truth nor will it turn the truth into error.  Jacob believed a lie and was sure Joseph was dead.  His feelings did not make the error truth.  Trust your feelings and you risk your eternal life.  Trust what God’s word says and not your feelings about it.  Trust and obey for that is the way. Yet, I think there is little doubt that in religion today feelings prevail …

• The Sin of Being Unthankful and the Need for Thanksgiving

  … to the bone.  It tells us they do not care about us and it hurts.  It is a sin for a person to respond to an act of kindness and love that way. In Luke 6:35 Jesus ties the unthankful with those who are evil.  “But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and you reward will be great, and you will be sons of the most high.  For he is kind to the unthankful and evil.” (NKJV) He goes on to say in the next vers…

We have been purchased with the blood of Christ (Acts 20:28, Eph. 1:13-14).  We have been bought by him and we are his, he owns us, “For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” (1 Cor. 6:20 NKJV)  We are the sons, the children of God (1 John 3:2), “his own special people.” (1 Peter 2:9, NKJV) The praise of men is vain.  It cannot keep the sorrow out o…

When you have developed your own religion as they had by the time of Jesus, an admixture of truth mixed in with manmade traditions that had the affect of law even to the extent of overriding the law of God (Mark 7:6-13), the heart ceases to be inte…

• Must a Man Seek God?

  …ng or studying the Bible, with worship, or obedience to God’s specific commandments. Whether they realize it or not this approach to salvation is an attempt to be saved by the works of man–it is an attempt to work your way to heaven based on personal goodness.  It reminds me of Rom. 10:3, “For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousne…

But, many will object to the last point.  Remember who established the church at Corinth–Paul.  He is the one doing the preaching.  He is the one Ananias told, in Acts 22:16, to “Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.” (Acts 22:16 NKJV)  Is Paul who had to be baptized to wash away his sins going to then turn around and tell the Corinthians, “yes, I had to but you don’t?”  Why are man…

• The Grace of God and the Parable of the Laborers–Is God Just?

  …of the laborers found in Matt. 20:1-16 is a perfect example and is also an excellent illustration of how man feels he knows more about what is just and right than God does. The passage is too long to quote here but I will jog your memory and summarize it for you.  A man had a vineyard and needed workers.  He went out to hire workers for his vineyard 5 different times during the course of the day each time sending them directly to work as they wer…

  …who was wrong, over who would be saved and who would not, over the way to heaven.  Too many people today see this as an exceedingly nasty type of fighting that drives people away from Christ they say.  Hey, don’t talk to me.  Your fight would be with Jesus, Paul, Jude, and others. Jesus said, “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth.  I did not come to bring peace but a sword.  For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter…

• The Need to Sing in Worship

  … singing.  If it was just a matter of having a bad cold, a sore throat, or something along those lines there would be no problem.  Sometimes we cannot sing. It is not for me to judge you when you do not sing for I do not know your situation but when Sunday after Sunday rolls around and you never sing while physically able to do so there is a problem.  When you never or only very rarely sing there is a problem. What is that problem?  The question …

• Who is the Believer in John 3:16?

  …8220;does not obey.” So, what do we learn from John 3:36?  Simple!  To believe in the Son for salvation (as per John 3:16) means one believes the Son enough to be persuaded by him to obey what he says.  So we see again, looking at it from the perspective of another verse in the same chapter, that it is he who is “born of water and the Spirit” (John 3:5 NKJV) who will “enter the kingdom of God” (John 3:5 NKJV) for tha…

  …y had had with God that he would provide and care for them.  Did it?  To ask is to answer. One cannot grumble against God and think that God will not hear it (a lesson for us today).  Moses said to them, “The Lord hears your grumblings which you grumble against him.” (Ex. 16:8 NASB)  He hears ours too.  God himself testified, “I have heard the grumblings of the sons of Israel.” (Ex. 16:12 NASB) God decides to provide for t…

I have come to believe the Bible professor was right in making a statement of that kind and offeri…

And why has your countenance fallen?  If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.’” (Gen. 4:6-7 NKJV)  It doesn’t s…

He had never stolen from a…

• Is Church Attendance Essential for Christian Salvation?

  … with the saints is a failure to love God, a failure to love Jesus.  Can such a one be saved? Jesus said, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.  And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’  This is the first commandment.” (Mark 12:29-30 NKJV) Does one love God who has no desire to go worship him with the other sa…

• Christianity and Multiculturalism
