Discussion between Dave Hunt and Tom A. McMahon @ www.thebereancall.org Matthew 7:13-14 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because …

By PAUL J. SCHARF Happy Reformation Day! October 31 is a glorious day to remember and celebrate salvation by grace alone, by faith alone, in Christ alone, through Scripture alone, for the glory of God alone. The passage that transformed the Western world on this date more than 500 years ago makes the whole issue plain: For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to sa…

From Compellingtruth.org Halloween has occult origins, which the Bible warns against. Christians can prayerfully participate in Halloween activities if they honor God and avoid sin or glorifying sin. Halloween can be a time to be a light to others, but we should respect others’ convictions about Halloween. What does the Bible say? Halloween has origins in darkness, superstition, and the occult…

God’s Mighty Angels No Chubby Cherubs Allowed By Dr. Nathan E. Jones When I was younger, like most people, I operated under the misconception that angels all look alike. In my mind’s eye, they stood in uniform, like a tray of gingerbread men coming out of the oven, or like white-clad clone troopers marching through a Star Wars battle scene. That imagery may have captured my mind because, growing…

“For whoever shall keep the whole law, yet stumbles at one point is guilty of breaking law” James 2:10. It has to be all the law, all the time, otherwise the law is of no benefit to you as a means of attaining righteousness. The “Law” was given that men might know what sin is, “for by the ‘Law’ is the knowledge of sin,” (Rom 3: 20). And also: “Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added bec…

By Yitzchak Reuven, The Temple Institute @ TempleInstitute.org “Mine is the earth” (Exodus 19:5) “Mount Sinai is G-d’s moment to shine! He is not busy rescuing anyone. He is not busy delivering a nation, nor soundly defeating an adversary. He is not preoccupied with providing daily meals for His children from His heavenly kitchen, nor causing life giving waters to flow from a lifeless rock. At Mo…

By Dr. Nathan E. Jones @christinprophecyblog.org Have you ever watched a butterfly and marveled at its delicate lines and beautiful colors as it flits from flower to flower? The butterfly is one of God’s most captivating and graceful creatures. And yet, your butterfly hasn’t always looked so lovely; why, it didn’t even look like a butterfly! That’s because this winged insect is in its fourth and…

It was against the law for the Jews to speak the Lord’s name except for one day each year when it was spoken by the High Priest in the ancient Temple, on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. When they wrote His name they used 4 initials to represent it. They were translated into English as JHVH. The King James translators put LORD, all in caps, where the initials appeared in the Hebrew text. After t…

From gotquestions.org One of the “appointed feasts of the LORD” given to Israel in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) is known today as Rosh Hashanah, literally “Head of the Year.” We read about Rosh Hashanah in the Torah, the Jewish Law found in the first five books of the Hebrew Bible. “And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, ‘Speak to the people of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first…

A Bible Study by Jack Kelley @gracethrufaith.com I’ve received several variations of the question in the title of this study, so I assume it’s on the minds of many more. Here’s a representative question and my response. Q. In a recent article you said, “Romans 8:29-30 tells us that God foreknew every person from throughout the age of man who would choose to accept Him as their Savior. He predesti…

By Oswald Chambers @utmost.org “…one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray…” —Luke 11:1 Prayer is not a normal part of the life of the natural man. We hear it said that a person’s life will suffer if he doesn’t pray, but I question that. What will suffer is the life of the Son of God in him, which is nourished not by food, but by prayer. When a person is born again from above…

By Robert Gottselig, Director of The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry—Canada, @foi.org I remember the day well, when a confused man approached our FOI literature table at a prophecy conference we were invited to, and point blank asked me, “How can you believe any of this?” He then began pointing to all the different book tables set up by the different ministries and proceeded to tell me what he…
