We are dealing in this series with the Bible’s two classifications of heresies, recorded for us in Revelation 22:18-99. They are: -ADDITION HERESIES – ADDING TO GOD’S WORD. -SUBTRACTION HERESIES – SUBTRACTING FROM GOD’S WORD. And we have dealt with strong examples of both. Because of these rampant, last days ADDER AND SUBTRACTOR HERESIES to […]
One can soon get the feeling in the modern, ecclesiastical climate that the Holy Bible is not so WHOLLY. That is to say, the Bible is still in flux, and the kinks are still being worked out, so that we keep on getting new and improved models. If nothing else, the Bible critics tell us […]
Heresies are religious lies, falsehoods, untruths, fabrications etc. The Bible warns us against these things in the strongest of terms as we read in II Peter 2:1 KJV, “But there were false prophets among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the […]
History teaches us some powerful lessons if we are willing to read and learn. Even a rookie historian can observe the following pattern if he has the Holy Spirit to guide him. It is this: “SATAN WILL NEVER TRY TO USURP GOVERNMENT WITHOUT TRYING TO CONTROL RELIGION.” If you will: “SATAN MUST BOTH SEIZE GOVERNMENT […]
The late D. James Kennedy preached these words in a sermon entitled A Godly Education, “John Dewey was the first president of the American Humanist Association and a signer of the first ‘Humanist Manifesto.’ He felt that Christianity was the principle problem that needed to be solved by our public educational system.” “Dewey’s mentor and […]
Introduction: We read in I Cor. 12:10 KJV, “TO ANOTHER IS GIVEN THE WORKING OF MIRACLES.” 1. And the word MIRACLES comes from the GREEK WORD – DUNAMIS, meaning POWER (dynamite comes from DUNAMIS). 2. So, what it is really saying is that at first reading jolts people, “THE SPIRIT GIVES TO CERTAIN FOLKS THE […]
Human beings are entertained by the new. I think we can safely say this: “NOVELTY IS THE PARENT OF HUMAN PLEASURE.” At least, man thinks it is. He wants next year’s car when next year is still half of a year away. And with this fetish for the new, he finds that the new becomes […]
Diogenes, a Greek Philosopher, was asked at a feast to which he had been invited, why he did not continue eating as the rest of the guests did. He answered the inquirer with a question of his own. He asked, “Why do you continue eating?” The indulgent eater responded, “I EAT FOR MY PLEASURE.” And […]
Remember the guy who got on a plane with a bomb built into his shoe and tried to light it? Richard Reid tried to murder 197 people on American Airlines Flight 63 over the Atlantic Ocean. Did you know his trial is over? Did you know he was sentenced? Did you see/hear any of the judge’s […]
He’s so cool! He’s is really a cool dude! He is a very cool customer. I like him, he’s cool! Just be cool! What a cool reception that was! Just cool down now! He’s worth a cool million. He has a really cool sports car! We had a really cool time at the party! He […]
It is intriguing how modern day religious slanguage so often finds its way from the secular world into the sacred world. The modern church so often reflects the culture rather than the modern culture reflects the church. Conformity has gone the wrong way! Or as Eric Mascall points out so rightly: “WHAT WE NEED IS […]
Scripture: Acts 3:18-21, Rev. 21:1-5 Introduction: Frankly, I don’t know A WHOLE LOT ABOUT HEAVEN, compared to what there is to know and to what God’s children shall experience one day. God has really given “US TINY GLIMPSES,” just enough to TICKLE THE TONGUE’S TASTE BUDS, just enough to “PIECE SOME THINGS TOGETHER.” Let’s face […]
