Do you remember the day you were saved? For some, that was not very long ago. For others, that may have been decades ago. But, if you picture that day, what do you remember about how you felt once you came up out of the saving waters of baptism? I can clearly remember how I felt. Immediately I was overcome with the…

When Jesus prayed that all who believed in Him would have the same unity that He had with the Father (John 17:20-21), He revealed that having many denominations would create unbelievers! A simple computer search will show that in America there are between at least 20,000 different denominations.  It shows just how little unity exists in “Christendom” today. There is no way…

Picture for a moment the hallway in your high school.  Hard concrete floors.  Harsh fluorescent lighting.  Metal lockers on both sides.  Was that the main part or main focus on your high school days?  No!  It was just a passage used to get you from one place to another.

It’s Palm Beach Lakes’ week at Central Florida Bible Camp: Forever Camp. All of the planning and preparation has led up to this. With 118 kids and just enough staff to make all the activities run smoothly, it is amazing how wonderful a time Forever Camp is. Many may not know exactly what goes on at Bible Camp. In fact, some may…

There is no question that someday our Lord will descend coming in the clouds. The clouds that took Him back to the Father will bring Him back. Those messengers from heaven emphatically affirmed that “…this same Jesus who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner you saw Him go into heaven” (Acts 1:11). He will literally…
