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
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. ...
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...
God’s Drawing Power
GOD’S DRAWING POWER By: Randy Kea Jesus said, “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Therefore, everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.” (John 6:44-45) He also said, “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.” (John 12:32) First, the obvious question is why does man need to be drawn to...Continue reading
Why Did Jesus Die on the Cross?
WHY DID JESUS DIE ON THE CROSS? By: Randy Kea Why exactly did Jesus die on the cross? There are several scriptural reasons: First, we note that it was God’s plan for Jesus to die on the cross. In fact, it was a matter of Old Testament prophecy (Matthew 27:35; Isaiah 53: Luke 24:44-47). Jesus himself foretold of His own death time and time again (Matthew 16;21; 20:17-19; Mark 8:31; 9:31; 10:33-34; Luke 9:22; 18:31-33). Jesus died on the cross to abolish the Old Testament Law (Ephesians 2:14-16; Colossians 2:14-16). We now live and...
