We have shown there is no Biblical evidence that even one person rested on the seventh day before the Jews left Egypt. For one to affirm that Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac or Jacob kept the Sabbath is to add to the Bible. We have also shown that the Sabbath was given to remind the Jews of that time when they were in…

It is obvious that Jesus went to the weekly gathering of the Jews in the synagogue. What most have failed to see is that the synagogue assembly on the Sabbath was never observed in the Old Testament. Synagogue worship began when the Jews were scattered by the Babylonian captivity in 536 B.C., and it was devised as a way for Jews to…
When Israel arrived at Mount Sinai, the voice of God echoed from the holy mountain and said, “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy” (Ex. 20:7). While they could define the words spoken by God, there was no way they could have known how God wanted them to “observe the Sabbath day” (Deut. 5:12). Because of His words they could know…

We know His promise that we will not be tempted above our limit, but the future seems so uncertain and our faith seems so weak. We wonder how on earth we will be able to deal with our problems. If He would only let us…
There is a sense in which God needs nothing, for He is the source of all things. Yet the Bible shows that our Lord’s eternal plan involves us. Before the world began, He devised this plan and we must never lose sight of our place in the scheme of redemption. As strange as it may seem—the Lord needs you. Consider the events…
It bothers me every time I see the sign. Turn east off Military Trail into Leo Lane and there is that sign which says, “Dead End.” Nothing could be farther from the truth! Drive to the end of Leo Lane and you will readily understand that the street that leads to Palm Beach Lakes is not a dead end road, it is…
