Christian Living Before Our Fellow Man -
Raymond Elliott(62)Holiness is an important factor in matters pertaining to church growth. Holiness is a way of life, that is, the character of all those people who are pure in heart (Matthew 5:8; Hebrews 12:14). How we think, talk and live before our fellowman is important. A light that flickers and salt that...

Building the Logical, Evidential Case for Life After Death -
Joel Hendon(180) 
When no empirical evidence exists for a theory or hypothesis, the solution can never be conclusively resolved. But when such does exist the theory ceases to be a theory but is rather, a proven fact. There are numerous theories which have no empirical evidence, some of which will never be totally...

Con Jobs, Snake Oil Salesmen and False Prophets; do we know the difference? -
Rev M Bresciani(2)Perhaps one of the weakest interpretations of scriptures ever employed by one of the weakest segments of the church comes from Paul’s letter to the church at Corinth. In an attempt to declare that prophecy is something that has passed into the annals of history the following verse is...

Some Sins Of Sons And Daughters -
Raymond Elliott(62)In the book of Ecclesiastes 11:9-11 the preacher wrote an exhortation that is much needed today for our young people: “Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, And let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth, Walk in the ways of your heart, And in the sight of your eyes; But know that...

Thy Word Is Truth: The Case Of The Missing Hittites -
Joel Hendon(180) 
Man has attempted to show that the Bible is not God's word and they try to find fallacies to back them up. They have put their hearts into finding certain things in the holy writ which may have not been verified by historians etc. They eagerly teach this as PROOF of the errancy of the Bible....

Understanding God’s Covenants (Laws) -
Joel Hendon(180) 
There is a massive amount of information about the Holy Bible which is misunderstood. The book is a compilation of writings by inspired men from Moses on through the New Testament Apostles and other inspired men of God.
The book of Genesis is a history of man from the creation to the time the...

The Hadean Realm: A Difficult Subject -
Joel Hendon(180) 
There are many differences held by various bible scholars as to the state and location of the dead. Various verses in the bible seem to infer things that would mean one thing or another. I think that no one can say dogmatically that either of them is the correct one. All of my following comments...

The Christian's Persecution -
Joel Hendon(180) 
The plight of the faithful Christian has been that of persecution from the beginning of the Lord's church on the first Pentecost after His resurrection. The degrees and types of persecution have varied greatly in different locales and different times. But nevertheless, all do suffer persecution...

Does Ignorance Equate With Innocence? -
Joel Hendon(180) 
One dictionary I found listed innocence as a synonym for ignorance. And I can understand and accept that, conditionally. We often see a child do something that hurts himself or someone else or damages something and, in most cases we accept the fact that the child did not know better. In other...

Jesus' Miracles, Local Or Long Distance -
Joel Hendon(180) 
To study the healing powers that Jesus possessed is both amazing and acutely interesting. He had power over any and all things, including natural laws and even Satan's demons. Much of His three year ministry was spent in performing miraculous deeds, partially to show and prove that He truly was...

Two Mortals Who Walked On Earth After Heaven -
Joel Hendon(180) 
We often read of someone who had a " near death experience " and claim they went to heaven but were sent back. I personally do not accept that. I do not question their sincerity in thinking it happened but I am quite sure it was caused by medication or some other factor which caused a...

Secularization -
Steve HigginbothamSecularization is the process of removing religious and moral influence from our society. And I must conclude that secularization is alive and well.
As you know, and many of you may remember first hand, there was a time when each school day began with a prayer. Of course, if such happened...

"Houston, We Have A Problem" -
Steve HigginbothamIt’s hard to believe that it was 39 years ago today when the astronauts on Apollo 13 reported a problem to the control center at Houston. An explosion that occurred nearly 200,000 miles from Earth jeopardized the lives of three astronauts. From the moment this problem was reported...

Things That Draw Us Nearer Together -
Raymond Elliott(1)Several years ago as I was leaving a place of business a friend engaged me in a conversation regarding the difficulties that were facing our nation at that time. He
mentioned that during the depression years people were closer together as friends and neighbors. He emphasized the need existing...

Eight Reasons Why Today’s World Despises and Resists Christianity -
Rev M Bresciani(2)All references to Christianity here are referring only to Bible based or scripturally centered faith unless otherwise stated. In politics the term RINO has emerged of late, meaning Republican in name only. Borrowing from that acronym the religious counterpart of a RINO would be CINO. (Christian...

Farmers, Faith, and the Father -
Raymond Elliott(1)Virginia and I had watched the growing of winter wheat beginning in late summer of 2010 until the spring of 2011. You see, when we are approaching our home we leave the city limits and pass through a portion of a farm that is located on both sides of County Road 12 or Powell Road. We then turn...

To The Oceans, White With Foam -
Raymond Elliott(1)
During our family gatherings on SaiIsland, Georgia it has been my habit to arise early in the mornings and walk on the beach down to the pier and the village where I would buy a cup of coffee, eat breakfast and read the daily newspaper. Being from the hill country of northwest Georgia I am...

TBN: No Naming Names – Apostasy’s New Gospel of Thieves -
Rev M Bresciani(2)After 23 years in the special top audience time slots with Trinity Broadcasting Network, Dr. Jack Van Impe has pulled the plug with Trinity Broadcasting. Reasons cited are that, TBN’s top execs don’t want Van Impe naming names of ministers and ministries that Van Impe says are...

Under the Shadow of Our Steeple: Unintended Prophecy? -
Rev M Bresciani(2)In 2005 the extremely popular contemporary Christian soft rock group Casting Crowns released a song title that has become a much beloved song throughout the world. The title, “Does Anybody Hear Her” poses the question that every young person in this generation has asked at sometime in...

"And You Fathers…” -
Raymond Elliott(62)The apostle Paul, guided by the Holy Spirit, wrote: “And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:4). Thus, the basic responsibility of rearing children is laid squarely on the shoulders of the...

Van Rompuy, Obama – Is it Change or Chains -
Rev M Bresciani(2)The EU has confirmed Herman Van Rompuy as the first permanent President of the emerging United States of Europe. He has clearly stated that the first order of business for the EU will be to solidify the economy and answer the social changes the 47 member states are facing.
No doubt the plight...

A Look At The Gospel Of Thomas -
Joel Hendon(180) 
To spend a lot of time studying the apocryphal books would probably be a waste of time when one should be studying the bible. But, a little knowledge of these books, I believe, is valuable. The Gospel of Thomas, for instance was discovered in Nag Hammadi, Egypt near the end of 1945 and a number...

Is The End Coming Soon? -
Raymond Elliott(62)“THE END OF TIME IS ALMOST HERE " (Emphasis, mine, R.E.). Everybody is talking about it. Everybody feels something world shattering is about to happen. It is going to be worse than a hydrogen war. It will be worse than floods, earthquakes, famines, or other calamities.
“GOD IS...

Two Wrongs Have A Right -
Raymond Elliott(62)But, the two wrongs do not make one right. The reason being, the wrongs are not right, singularly or collectively. Now permit me to explain what I mean by all this jargon.
On Sunday, October 17, 2004, the Montgomery Advertiser carried an article pertaining to a protest led by an extremist...

Golden Calves Of The Bible -
Joel Hendon(180) 
Those of you who have followed my writings very much, know that I was raised on a farm amidst just about all types of farm livestock imaginable. Dogs have always been my favorite animal but not too far behind that, came the calves. My memories of calves are precious. They come into this world...
