Our Amazing Visitors

This Sunday marks the beginning of four days of feasting on the Word of God. Jesus fed the multitude with loaves and fishes, but the real feast was in those messages He gave to them.  The same is true of us. We will eat together, but the real feast is to sit at the feet of one who has sat at the…

As Simple as 1, 2, 3

Profound truths are often expressed by God in terms which are so simple that one has to have help to misunderstand them. The Lord Jesus spoke so clearly that even the “common” men heard His message and became followers of Him (Mark 12:37).

The full implication of that phrase, “every word which comes from the mouth of the Lord,” can so easily be overlooked. Think about it. For man to live by every word which comes…

Jesus, Jots and Tittles

Our faith is built upon the strongest assurance that the Bible is from God and that He in His providence has kept it unchanged. Agnostics, infidels and liberal theologians mock the idea that we have the exact Bible, unchanged since it was originally written. What a great contrast this is with the Son of God who gave us the Bible and promised…
