599 Fiery Serpents
In Numbers 21: 4-9 we read the account of the snake on a pole. The people had grumbled against God and God sent fiery serpents into their midst. Many who were bitten died. The people repented and complained to Moses. The Lord God told Moses to make a bronze snake and lift it up on a pole. Those looking at the snake on a pole would be rescued from the fiery serpents. There were about 1 million people in the camp. Here are some interesting conversations that they could of had back then. read more...

505 The Working Church
The Thessalonian church was a working Church. Paul thanked God for their zeal and diligence (1 Thes. 1:8-10). Unfortunately, very few pastors or congregations are working with the enthusiasm that characterized these brethren. Let's consider their work and what made them so diligent. read more...

507 Pride and Lust
In this short but profound lesson, I want you to know the three things the devil will use to trick you into sin. 1 John 2:16 says... “For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.” When you operate in carnality, you are most certainly operating in one of these three areas. Satan will attempt to destroy your soul with sin. This is why it is so important to put on holiness attributes. read more...

466 The Great Falling Away
Origen developed what is called the Eastern trinity which formed the foundational teachings of the Greek Orthodox religious system and Tertullian developed the Western Latin trinity which became the foundational teaching of the Roman Catholic religious system. Of importance the word trinity was used for the first time in Christian theology in 200 AD and does not appear in the scriptures. The Trinitarians have always believed for one to be a saved Christian one must be trinity. read more...

546 Jesus' Name Evidence
There has been recent findings that support the recognition of baptism in Jesus’ Name during the patristic era (during the early history of the Church period) and the 9th century in Europe. In a recent interview, Apostolic historian Kulwant Boora shared some of his research in his forthcoming publication, The Roman Catholic Church And Its Recognition of The Validity of Baptism In The Name of Jesus (Acts 2:38) From 100 A.D. to 500 A.D. read more...

645 40 Something
The number 40 is a fundamental number found throughout Scripture. A 40-something time period, whether days, months, or years always is a period of testing, trial, probation, or chastisement (but not judgment) and ends with a period of restoration, revival or renewal. Here are but a few on the many examples of the number forty in the Scriptures. It rained for 40 days and 40 nights during the flood of Noah. (Gen 7:12) Goliath taunted the Israelite army for 40 days. (1 Sam:17) read more...

598 The New World Order's Agenda
Here is the NWO agenda. It has been in effect for over fifty years. Push God out of the schools. If people grow up without reference to God, then they will consider him irrelevant. In the last fifty years this has happened. Break the traditional family (Judeo-Christian) concept. Break or end the communication between parents and children, so that the parents can't pass on their traditional values. This is accomplished by pushing excessive "rights" for children. Remove restrictions on sex. read more...

882 Every Word of God
Paul wrote to Timothy, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." (2 Timothy 3:16) What is the difference between inspiration and preservation? Inspiration means God breathed. Preservation means divinely preserved. read more...

1292 All About the Psalms
Everything that pertains to the Psalms is here, from the trivial to the essential is here. The Book of Psalms is the longest book of the Bible. Psalms is also the hymnal book of the Bible. If you can't sleep read Psalms 3-4. When your sick read Psalms 31. Psalm 10 is a prayer for the overthrow of the wicked. Psalm 23 says the Lord is my shepherd. Psalm 27 acknowledges that the Lord is my light and my salvation. Did you know that Jesus quoted the Pslams more than any other book. read more...

768 Benny Hinn
The most popular televangelist and faith healer in the world today is probably Benny Hinn. He is often featured on Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). The itinerant preacher some call a "prophet" travels worldwide to stage his "crusades." Thousands pack stadiums and amphitheaters hoping to be healed. However, Hinn has failed to prove even a single "healing" objectively. His ministry takes in 100 million yearly. Read his wordss on the trinity, they are so insane that even trinitarians deny them. read more...

835 Mary Worship
Some Catholics have had visions of Mary and her delivering a message from God. Here is one such event. Mirjana Dragicevic from Yugoslavia describes her vision of April 14, 1982. "He was ugly, horribly ugly. You cannot imagine how ugly, he almost killed me with his gaze, I almost fainted. Then Satan went away and Our Lady came and said to me: "Renew the use of holy water, wear blessed objects and holy objects and put them in your homes." This transformation or disguise is seen many times. read more...

535 Abortion Facts and Reasons
Prior to the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision of 1973, about 500,000 illegal abortions were occurring per year. By 1975, over 1,000,000 babies were being aborted in the United States. Today, about 1,500,000 abortions occur each year. That's over 4000 per day, and nearly three per minute! Ninety-three percent of the abortions in America are for convenience. The mother's health is an issue only three percent of the time. The most targeted people for abortions has always been minorities. read more...

892 Satan's Cause and Santa Claus
The modern-day Santa Claus is an American version of Saint Nicholas, a fourth century Roman Catholic bishop from Asia Minor who was noted for his good deeds and gift giving. This tradition first spread throughout Europe, and then found its way to America by the early Dutch settlers. God's word warns us to beware of man-made traditions that would take away from His word and glory (Col. 2:8). So we shouldn't be surprised to find the Devil right in the middle of the world's most celebrated holiday. read more...

529 The English Bible
The Bible was originally written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. Then over time it was translated into various other languages. The Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew and Aramaic, in that all of the authors of the books were Jews and they were living in a time prior to the Greecian Empires attempt to "Helenize" the then known world and have one universal language. read more...

1082 Billy Graham and Robert Schuller
Billy Graham and Robert Schuller had an interview in 1997. Here are their exact words. Robert Schuller: "Tell me, what do you think of the future of Christianity?" Billy Graham: "I think everybody who knows Christ, whether they're conscious of it or not, they're members of the Body of Christ. God's purpose is to call out a people for His name, whether they come from the Muslim world, Buddhist world, the Christian world, or the non-believing world... I think they are saved... and going to heaven. read more...

581 Was Mary a Catholic?
The virgin Mary was not a Catholic. Many do not know this. But it is true. Here are some other facts which many do not know. Mary was not a white woman. These pictures of Mary are of a white European woman and do not in any way represent the true Mary of the Bible. The true Mary of the Bible was a brown or black skinned woman. She was of the tribe of Judah of the seed of David, and David's great grandmother Ruth was a Black Moabites woman. King David was not a white man. read more...

886 The Oath of a Catholic Priest
The oath of a Catholic Priest and the errors of Catholicism are given in historic detail. "I do further declare that I will help, assist, and advise, all or any of his Holiness' agents, in any place wherever I shall be, and to do my utmost to extirpate the Protestant doctrine and to destroy all their pretended power, regal or otherwise." The Roman Church proclaims that she has always taught and is teaching today the same Gospel that Jesus and His Apostles taught. Yet history shows otherwise. read more...

440 What Matthew 28:19 Originally Said
Is the name-phrase in Matthew 28:19 spurious or is it genuine? Let the reader judge after examining the evidence. Eusebius, the greatest Greek teacher of the Church and most learned theologian of his time read from the original Hebrew version of Matthew. All remaining complete copies have been since destroyed by the Catholics. It read as what follows. "Go ye and make disciples of all the nations in my name, teaching them to observe all things, whatsoever I commanded you." Wow! read more...

593 Gematria
The word "gematria" comes from the Greek word "geōmetriā" from which our English word "geometry" is derived. All Christians reject all forms of esotericism and occultism. The English Gematria is not mystical nor occultic; but is rather revealed and open. God's own Word says, "Here is wisdom: Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." (Rev. 13:18) The Gematria is only meant to confirm a fact. read more...

505 The Bible
The Bible, the word or sacred Scriptures has some fantastic information within it! Jeremiah 33:22 claims that the stars of the heaven are innumerable. Hippocrates, before the invention of the telescope charted and numbered 1,022 stars. Kepler later recounted and revised the number. Today scientists agree with Jeremiah. There are billions just in our galaxy! It's interesting that the Bible makes the number of stars roughly equivalent to the number of grains of sand on the seashore. (Gen. 22:17) read more...

595 Traditions Versus the Truth
Some common traditions of men versus the word of God. The fact is that Jesus came to set us free from man-made traditions that take away from His truth. (Mark 7:8; John 8:32; Colossians 2:8-10) There's nothing to be gained but rather a loss for all those who reject His word and take on the commandments of men instead. Paul said, "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof (Jesus): from such turn away. They shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. read more...
