Think on these things (Philippians 4:8-9)
My pondering on scriptures aside from my devotionals.
Our stand on biblical precepts, principles and preferences has us accused of being legalistic and a militant fundamental. We deny being called “legalistic.“ Why? Because none of what we are is about requiring any of our preferences or God’s Law for someone’s salvation, which is the definition of legalism. How …
HERE IT IS AGAIN… Question: Where in the Bible do we find anything transliterated: “Now the birth of Jesus X was on this wise“ “born Jesus, who is called X“ “X Jesus came into the World to save sinners“ “thou art X, the Son of God“ “the man X Jesus” …
Some men try to lock God’s power in a box, deducing that God is incapable of allowing man’s freewill to exist and work alongside His sovereignty. However, the Bible teaches that God has the power to save while man has the power to believe. This is easily seen by looking …
Legalism is a misused and abused term thrown out by those who are convicted by God’s legal system, His law, His Word. Etymology of Legalism goes back to the mid 1800’s about the time the word fundamentalist was surfacing as we know it today. Legalism was used in disdain to …
How can we not be disheartened when we look at the options at the polls in November? Easily, by going to the Bible. Remember that it is God who raises up kings (Daniel 2:21), and He reminded His Church that He voted Pharaoh into office (Romans 9:17), a man who …
It is a known fact that Halloween is a celebration of the god of this world. It is based in sin, deception, fear, demons, etc. Is God pleased with His children participating or is this a grey area? 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 is still true today. Read the entire chapter and …
Western North Carolina is a pin head on the landscape of the entire world. Just a couple days of extremely heavy rain and winds, and this area looks worse than a war zone. Homes are completely splintered, roads are ripped up, bridges are washed out, building after building are demolished, …
Praise God, He is not only a God of JUSTICE but He is also a God of GRACE and MERCY (Lamentations 3:22-23)! According to His JUSTICE, sin must be judged and punished, but according to His GRACE, sin can be pardoned and forgiven. God’s faithfulness to these has never been …
Since Calvinists have a different definition and doctrine for born again, atonement, grace, faith, free will, sovereignty, etc., how are they any different then JW’s or Catholics who we adamantly oppose because they have redefined terms in salvation? I call JW and Catholic doctrines heresy, and Calvinism as well, because …
Thinking about the 4th of July… The Roman Empire tried to defeat the known world and failed, and today there are no Little Roman Empires. The same with the Babylonian Empire, Persian Empire, Greece, Napoleon, Genghis Khan, etc., but none of these left the world with little empires. Then came …
