By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace. Hebrews 11:31 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? James 2:25 We’re all familiar with the story of Rahab,…

Off the High Horse
Please don’t take this the wrong way. I really don’t understand the obsession so many believers have with judging the eternal salvation of others. I see it among both Arminian and Calvinist believers, but probably worse among Calvinists. Look – the foundation of God stands sure having this seal, the Lord knows them that are…
Short Note on the New Birth
To say the new birth makes no difference, whatsoever, in a person’s life is just as much an error as insisting born again people will always grow more and more holy, persevering in righteous living until death, with death being the most holy point of their life in a practical sense. The reality is that…
How to Video your Sermons
I have recently begun making short videos and live streaming our Sunday morning sermons via Facebook Live. Since several have been curious about this as a possible avenue for teaching, I felt inclined to share some “how to” information along these lines. Since my brief “how to” ended up being 5 pages long, I felt…

That Pesky Cornelius
Cornelius (Acts 10) is an interesting figure in scripture and does great harm to the common religious notions of today. If contemporary theology were true, Cornelius would have been a condemned man, void of the Holy Spirit, an alien to God and reprobate, never having heard the preached gospel (Romans 3). Yet notice how the…
Obey Them That Have The Rule Over You
“Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.” – Hebrews 13:17 One of our deacons made some remarks at the close of service…
Provide The Need
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught that we should give to him that asks of us and love our enemies, because God is even good to the unjust by causing His sun to rise and His rain to fall upon them. This means to be like our Saviour, we’re to be people of…
