WOMEN’S ROLE

Dr. Flavil Yeakley reports in his new book that some women have left the Lord’s church for what they call “oppressive male chauvinism” (Why They Left, p 181). They felt they should have been able to publicly preach and teach in church the same as men. The author, professor at Harding University, husband 57 years

THE SUPREME SCIENTIST

Just who is the ‘Supreme Scientist’? Is he a real-life scientist, one we can look to for answers to all the important questions about our universe, world and personal lives? Yes, there is a real-life, superior and totally trustworthy Supreme Scientist. His words and works are in a class by themselves. He is famous, unique,

BURIED ALIVE?

Bible baptism is referred to as a burial, immersion in water. It is not sprinkling or pouring, for that would not symbolize “being buried with Christ” (Rom 6:3-4; Col 2:12). Martin Luther, John Calvin (Presbyterian) John Wesley (Methodist), and the Catholic Dictionary all agree bible baptism was immersion, a burial in water. But why be

THE STIGMA OF JESUS

Paul said, “I bear on my body the marks of Jesus” (Gal 6:17). The word here rendered “marks” (stygma, in Greek) means the brands which are burnt upon the body. Slaves were sometimes branded by their masters to prevent their escape. Devotees to an idol god sometimes had impressed on themselves the name or image

MORMON RELIGION

You may be asking about the Mormon Church because presidential candidate Mitt Romney is prominent in that religion and contributes million$ to it. The Mormon Church (Latter Day Saints) was organized by Joseph Smith on April 6, 1830 at Fayette, NY. At the age of 14 he began to have hallucinations (visions). When 17 he

THE NEW COVENANT

If no fault had been found with the first covenant (the Old Testament), no place would have been sought for another (Heb 8:7). Please notice several better things about the New Covenant: 1. Better High Priest. Jesus is the High Priest of the New Testament dispensation (Heb 78,8,13). He offered His own blood once for

THE OLD COVENANT

A covenant is an agreement or contract between two parties wherein one stipulates the terms and the other agrees to comply. In the OLD covenant (Old Testament), Jehovah God outlined to the people His laws (Ex 19:5-8). The children of Israel “answered together and said, ‘All that Jehovah hath spoken we will do.’” We speak

BELIEVING IS NOT ENOUGH

Believing that Jesus was as a great person, or even that He was the son of God, is not enough to save us from our sins. Billy Graham was right when he said it takes more than this. He said “even the devil believes all these things about Jesus (James 2:19) – but that doesn’t

OF LITTLE IMPORTANCE?

Our way of thinking is not God’s way (Isa 55:8-9). We must not assume a thing is of “little importance” to God just because we think it does not matter. Even Jesus did not do or say anything without the Father first giving Him authority (Jn 8:28). How much more cautious must we be when

INSULTS AND PERSECUTION

Jesus said, “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all manner of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven” (Mt 5:11-12). It is expected when any man faithfully preaches the true gospel of Christ, that he will encounter cruel, hateful
