Millions of viewers sat down to watch the spectacle of ABC’s Nightline Face-Off Debate on Friday, March 20.  This media source is apparently trying to research and provide an answer to the question, “Does Satan Exist?” Well, we don’t need a television program to determine if Satan is real or not; let’s turn to the only reliable record on this matter—God’s Word!…

Our Sunday night program is focused on equipping each of us to be Soldiers of Christ. The idea of the church being His army is certainly Biblical. Paul speaks of “the weapons of our warfare” (2 Cor. 10:4) and urges that we take on ourselves “the whole armor of God” (Eph. 6:11) and the “armor of righteousness” (2 Cor. 6:7). He urges…

Resisting temptation is a great challenge that every Christian must face and conquer.  We can have confidence that Satan will constantly come after us and seek to devour us (1 Pet. 5:8), which calls upon us to constantly be prepared to deal with his devious schemes.  If we choose to wait until the moment that the temptation comes upon us to prepare…

I thought I had heard of everything imaginable, but I doubt I would have ever thought of this. It seems that some mega-churches are offering free infant and toddler care during services and couples are taking advantage of this.  On Sunday mornings they drop their children off at the appropriate place, then leave the building and go to a coffee shop.

Jesus, the Son of God, came to John the Baptist to be baptized.  Does that seem strange to you?  It certainly seemed strange to John, who tried to prevent Him from doing it, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?” (Matt. 3:13-14). You know how Jesus responded.  This desire of Jesus did not make sense…

It sure sounded good. I’m talking about the inheritance letter I received from a lawyer (Peter Greenwood from Eastcote, London, England), which began, “I am the legal representative to the late J. Jenkins, an American national who herein shall be referred to as my late client.” Now let’s see, my father was J. Jenkins and before him was my grandfather who was…

One of the most interesting attributes of God mentioned in Scripture is the affirmation of God Himself—“For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God” (Ex. 20:5).  God even says His “name is Jealous” (Ex. 34:14).  In our minds, we may associate envy with jealousy, but that is not the meaning of the word used of God (He is not envious…

The task lying before him was overwhelming. His master, Abraham, had given him total authority in the finding of a bride for Isaac. He swore to the patriarch that he would not seek a wife from among the Canaanites but would find one among Abraham’s relatives in Mesopotamia. He promised that under no circumstances would he take Isaac back to Chaldea, for…
