Following the Crowd Can Be Dangerous By: Ted Brown “Can the majority of people be wrong?” Throughout history, following the crowd has often led to disaster. Nations, kings, celebrities, etc. It’s better to stand alone with God, than be in a crowd without Him. Let’s look at some examples in Scripture when people foolishly went along with the majority. The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh (mankind) had corrupted their way upon the earth....Continue reading

God’s Plan of Redemption
GOD’S PLAN OF REDEMPTION IS THE SAME FOR EVERYONE By: Darrell Cooper God’s plan of redemption is 100% the same for everyone on the planet. If you end up lost in Hell, it will be because you chose not to follow God’s plan and joined the church of your choice and went by another plan which Satan inspired mankind to come up with. Jesus gave us God’s plan in his final revelation to man, that the Holy Spirit inspired to be written down and preserved in the New Testament for us to go by. It...Continue reading
Perverted Grace
PERVERTED GRACE By: Randy Kea “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jude 3-4 The above passage clearly indicates that, even in the...Continue reading
Atheist
ATHEIST By: Randy Kea Let us briefly consider the absurdity of being an atheist. The Bible takes the position that God exists. “In the beginning God . . . ” (Genesis 1:1). “God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son . . . ” (Hebrews 1:1-2). “For every house is built by some man; but he that built all things is God.” (Hebrews 3:4). “Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all...
Marriage and the Home – The Bible View
MARRIAGE AND THE HOME – THE BIBLE VIEW By: Randy Kea The Bible defines marriage (Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:3-9; Ephesians 5:31). It involves a “leaving” of the parents to form a new home. This involves willingness and consent by the two people getting married. It also involves a “cleaving” to one another which includes intention and purpose. Also, becoming “one flesh” is a part of the marriage relationship. This refers to sexual union (I Corinthians 6:16) according to Paul. However, it should be pointed out that just having a sexual union does not constitute marriage...
How Will You Know If You Don’t Study?
HOW WILL YOU KNOW IF YOU DON’T STUDY By: Randy Kea Paul wrote, “I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren” (I Thessalonians 5:27). Personal Bible study is very important. There are no shortcuts. It takes time and effort. Why should you study carefully, reverently, and regularly? How will you know if you have done exactly what is necessary to become a Christian if you don’t study? Most are lost (Matthew 7:13-14). Many will be surprised on judgment day (Matthew 7:21-23). Check your Bible. Are you sure...Continue reading
Why Did Christ Appear to Saul of Tarsus
WHY DID CHRIST APPEAR TO SAUL OF TARSUS By: Randy Kea Why did Jesus appear to Saul of Tarsus on the road to Damascus in Acts 9:1-22? There are several vital lessons that we can learn from the three accounts of the conversion of Saul of Tarsus (Acts 9, 22, 26). Remember, Luke records his conversion in Acts 9 and Saul (Paul) presents these facts in his own preaching later in Acts 22 and 26. Please note these crucial points: 1) A person can be genuine, sincere, honest, and conscientious and yet be religiously wrong. ...
