Godly Garments - Pure Fabrics


Did you know that throughout the Bible, God considers our clothing to be symbolic of our conduct? 

How then, do we understand the Biblical prohibitions against wearing mixed fabrics? Does God forbid only linen/wool blends, or does the Hebrew shaatnez require a broader rendering?

If you wish to live by every word of God, this piece is tailored for you!

Jesus' Final Hours: Two Part Sermon


Have you ever wondered how all of the events from Jesus' "Last Supper" until His burial could have occurred within only 24 hours? Have you been perplexed by the differences between the Gospelswas Jesus crucified at 9:00 a.m. as Mark reads, or was He crucified at about noon, as indicated by John? Would you like to hear these questions accurately resolved?

More importantly, do you desire a deeper appreciation for the suffering and sacrifice which our innocent Savior endured to redeem each one of us from our sins?

The movie industry and even churches promote distortions; yet you can know what really happened!

As you listen, be sure also to use the very helpful Time Line, available below, which shows these final hours events in the order of their occurrence, providing Biblical references for each event.

Profit from this two-part series!

Eternal Judgment - What Will It Mean for You?


What happens to us after we die? Do we just return to dust, and that's it?
If we are faithful servants of God, do we immediately go to heaven? Is there a resurrection?

What happens to those who reject God's calling? Is there a judgment day? Do they go to suffer in hell forever?

Will those who never know anything at all of God, Jesus Christ, or the Bible also suffer in hell?

Could we be mistakenly assuming that we will be with Christ in His Kingdom? What does the Bible really teach about death and the afterlife?

"Thus Says the Lord!"


Glossing over the lack of prophets within modern "Christianity," most denominations suggest that the gift of prophecy can be represented merely by inspired preaching or teaching.

On the other hand, at least two major denominations - the Mormons ("prophet" Joseph Smith) and the Seventh Day Adventists ("prophetess" Ellen G. White) - base their fundamental doctrines on beliefs in modern prophecy.

Was Joseph Smith a prophet of the Almighty Creator God?  Was Ellen G. White "the Lord's messenger" - "more than [a] prophet," as she claimed?  Or are these and other individuals imposters - false prophets?   How can we know?  Can prophets and prophetesses even exist in the Body of Christ today?

Find out what the Lord really says!

When Should We Observe the Christian Passover?


Tragic bewilderment reigns among God’s people pertaining to this crucial Christian memorial.  Some believe that they must observe the Passover at the beginning of the fourteenth, some suppose it should be mid-afternoon, and others think they ought to wait until the end of the day – effectively placing the observance on the fifteenth. 

When should members of our Savior’s Body be observing the Passover?  How can we come to God’s mind on this vital matter? 

This booklet-length article provides much-needed Scriptural answers through a careful examination of key Biblical words and passages used in connection with the Passover.

Divergence in the Church: Preserving the Unity of the Faith

Hours before His crucifixion, Jesus prayed to the Father on our behalf, that by our oneness we might witness to the world – “that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.”

What is the foundation for this spiritual oneness?   Does Godly accord preclude divergence?  Or are some differences of doctrine and practice to be tolerated within His Church?

Should the Church enforce unity?   Suspension from Christian fellowship – often called "disfellowshipment" or "excommunication" – is brandished like a weapon by some, but is despised by many as a "harsh" punitive practice.

How would Jesus have us properly address divergence, so as to build and preserve vital unity of faith within His Body?

Drink in of the mind of Christ on this important Bible topic!!

Are Christians Guaranteed Salvation?

Millions who profess Christianity feel secure, resting on the assurances of their clergy, who claim that a born again Christian cannot lose salvation. Countless worshippers suppose that salvation is irrevocably guaranteed to every Christian who has committed to the Lord.

Yet what does God tell us in the Bible?  What is the truth of the matter?  Are Christians guaranteed salvation?  Does this popular teaching reflect reality or merely myth?  Could millions of worshippers be falling prey to a seductive religious deception? 

You need to resolve this crucial salvation issue!
