Every word of Scripture is inspired of God, the product of His breath, and is absolutely true and “useful for doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness.” The man of God is thus “furnished completely unto every good work” (2 Tim 3:16-17). As an example, look at the little word “TILL” or “UNTIL” which always
Here are three important numbers: 9-3-1929, 6-12-1941 and 1-1-1955. The first is the date of my natural birth. The second is the date I was “born again of the water and the spirit” (Jn 3:5). The third is the date of my promises in marriage. These vital statistics mark the most significant dates to remember
“Baptist” (“Baptizer”) in the Bible was the occupation of “John The Baptizer” (the immerser). His parents were Elizabeth and Zacharias. He was destined to be great. “Many shall rejoice at his birth. For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord” (Lk 1:14-16). He “remained in the deserts till the day of his
I was famous and had great beauty. But I was barren. I loved my husband dearly, even though he sometimes did such strange things. We had not been married long until he said we must move far away. I loved him and respected him. I was willing to obey him and sometimes called him “lord!”

They called themselves
It was God’s plan, not man’s, that certain things be joined together. “What God has joined together, let not man separate,” said the Son of God (Mt 19:3-9). We must not change God’s word (Jer 10:23; Isa 55:8-9). 1 MAN AND WOMAN. Marriage is God’s design, is permanent, separated only by death (Eph 5:22-33). Homosexuality
An accomplice is a person who participates in committing a crime even if he takes no part in the actual offense. In a bank robbery, the getaway driver is an accomplice to the gunman and is equally guilty. In the disaster of 9/11, all who participated in the scheme were equally guilty with the pilots
I have just completed writing a book: All The Commands of the Old Testament (SIBI, $10). God gave these 2,000+ commands to His people. Most of these commands apply only to the children of Israel, from Moses until Christ’s death on the cross. Christians today are instructed to read the old law of Moses for
Unless you know Greek you will not recognize this title: amartia (hamartia). It means to “miss the mark,” translated in English Bibles as “SIN.” Romans 6:23 says “all have sinned.” We have all “missed the mark.” The scriptures of the Holy Bible give us words of truth from God: “Thy word is truth” (Jn 4:24).
Solomon describes the man who is evil in his lying speech and wicked schemes (Prov 6:16-19). Bible scholars Clarke, Driver, Coffman and others agree that the man who goes about “stirring up dissension among brethren” is perverted and totally out of line with reason.
