A true story is told of a blind man, his guide dog, and the life-changing power of faith and trust in the face of terror. On September 11, 2001, Michael Hingson, who had been blind since birth, was working on the 78th floor of the World Trade Center’s North Tower when a hijacked plane struck the building. Beside him was his guide dog, Roselle, who … [Read more...]
The Road that Conquers Death
At some point in life, every one of us confronts the questions, “Who am I?” and ''Where am I going? Other questions may be even deeper than this one—for example: “Why am I here? What is the meaning of life? The Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy put it this way, “What is life for? To die? To kill myself at once? No, I am afraid. To wait for death … [Read more...]
God Precedes Judgment With Mercy and Grace
When Paul wanted to make the strongest possible appeal for consecration, he said, 'I appeal to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of all the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies presenting all your members and faculties as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your … [Read more...]
Repentance is not a Feeling
Repentance is not a feeling. In reality, it’s easy to have an emotional experience rather than a genuine repentance which leads to salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. Repentance is not even a conviction of sin. What do you mean? You can be convicted but refuse to repent. You may even read your Bible and cry to God a great deal, and yet never … [Read more...]

Mary Mother of Jesus, the Messiah
The real miracle of our Lord’s coming into the world occurred nine months earlier. This suggests that His conception took place in December, quite possibly on the 25th. Ironically, then, we may be celebrating His birth when we should instead be commemorating His conception, for that is where it all truly began. For this reason, Mary stands in a … [Read more...]
The Wonder of His Resurrection
The Scripture tells us that if the blood of an acceptable sacrifice does not redeem a man, he is most certainly going to spend eternity in hell. We have sugar-coated the cross, but it must not have been a delightful thing to see a man die on the cross outside the hills of Jerusalem. When our Lord died, the poets have made it so beautiful that we … [Read more...]
Abundance Has Led America Back into Bondage
Historians believe America did more in its first two hundred years than had been achieved in the previous six thousand years of recorded history. The American Republic was to ensure a just and “level playing field” for production and commerce and to allow people to provide for themselves with their own initiative and resourcefulness. This worked … [Read more...]
The Greatest Blessing-Overcoming Sin
What is frightening is the “sensitivity training” to accept, embrace and advocate every kind of sin has escalated. If you believe what the Bible teaches about any controversial subject, you will be allowed to silently believe but not allowed to practice or say what you believe, especially in "post-Christian" Europe. God is going to allow human … [Read more...]
Biblical Requirements For Leaving an Inheritance
In Old Testament times most, people were poor and lived at a subsistence level. Thus, leaving an inheritance (normally land) was vital to enable the following generation(s) to continue farming and raise livestock, without getting enslaved. The distribution of the inheritance was executed like this: usually, daughters did not receive land, for they … [Read more...]
