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
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...
Book of Ephesians
BOOK OF EPHESIANS By: Randy Kea The book of Ephesians is an essay on the New Testament church. As you study this remarkable epistle of Paul, three fundamental facts emerge concerning the church. First, the church is singular in number. In Ephesians 4:4, Paul says in no uncertain terms, “There is one body.” In Chapter One, he has already established the fact that the “church” and the “body” are the same: “. . . the church, which is His body . . .” (Ephesians 1:22-23) Secondly, Paul’s letter to the Ephesians clearly teaches that Jesus...
What Kind of Faith
WHAT KIND OF FAITH By: Randy Kea There is a clear distinction in the Bible between a saved believer and an unsaved believer. For instance, in the Book of John 3:15, 16, 18; 5:24; 7:38 and 11:26, the word believe indicates an obedient believer. However, sometimes John uses the term believer referring to those who had not obeyed. For example, in John 8:31, these believers were still children of the devil (see John 8:44), and in John 12:42, these believers would not confess Him. The word “believe” is used referring to people in an unsaved...
Is There Present Day Revelation from God?
IS THERE PRESENT DAY REVELATION FROM GOD? By: Randy Kea Much of the confusion, in the religious world today, has resulted from the fact that many (if not most) religious groups and their leaders claim direct present-day revelation from God. In contradiction and contrast to this claim, the New Testament of Christ claims to be God’s full, complete, authoritative, and final revelation from God. God gave His word to Christ: “For I have not spoken of Myself; but the Father which sent me, He gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I...Continue reading
