One of the most interesting experiences in my, almost eighty eight years, was when I comprehended the message from the Scriptures that God only accepts a person into “sonship” when that individual steps into a personal belief that must be established through faith. The Apostle Paul, in writing to the Church in Galatia, brings theContinue reading “IS FAITH “NEW”?”

GOD HAS SPOKEN
The Book of Hebrews is particularly written to Hebrews, yet it unfolds truths that are equally important for every Christian. There are always those who like to argue concerning authorship, or some portion of its contents. However, as we read its contents and interpret them in light of the other books of the Bible, weContinue reading “GOD HAS SPOKEN”

Ultimately, it will relate itself to some thought from the Scriptures that behind it has multiplied thoughts from other portions of the Word of God, the Bible. I wasContinue reading “24-HOUR COVERAGE”

Hebrews 11: 1, gives us a beautiful description: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” The remainder ofContinue reading “FAITH”

“Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.” Hebrews 2:1 The question above naturally prods the mind into multiple ideas about entrapment of an animal, the imprisonment of a person, and imagining a host of other things that speak to that issue. In the context ofContinue reading “HOW SHALL WE ESCAPE?”
