30 Faith Introduction II

by

This passage provides a principle for those Jewish people who were in the first century church that had rejected the truth of the coming judgment of all. If they were genuine believers their spiritual eternal salvation was assured but they would suffer bodily in some manner. If they were not saved then the significance of their willful sin would render them unsaved and Hell is their destination. Paul previously warned that, by failing to fellowship, apostasy may already have taken place because some refuse the assembling together. Because some have already stopped associating with other believers, a warning follows. If you …

Israel: Lynchpin of Bible Prophecy – by Jack Kinsella

by

Israel: Lynchpin of Bible Prophecy – by Jack Kinsella “For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the Name of the LORD, to serve Him with one consent.” (Zephaniah 3:9) Hebrew, as a spoken language, was already on the decline when Latin was still the lingua franca of the day. The modern word “Hebrew” is based in the root word ‘abar’ which means ‘to cross over.’ As a functional, working language, classical Hebrew flourished until around the time of the Babylonian Captivity in the 6th century BC.

by

“We know that all things work together for good to them that love God.” Romans 8:28 Upon some points a believer is absolutely sure.

The Day God Gave Me More Than I Could  Handle

by

The Day God Gave Me More Than I Could Handle What kind of God gives us more than we can handle? I recently read a blog with a sweet little story that ended with a sweet little quote that we’ve probably all heard (and said) hundreds of times. “God will never give you more than you can handle!” And while the article was good and it brought a tear to my eye…I couldn’t stop thinking about that overly used, “go-to” Christian phrase. “God will NEVER give you more than you can handle!” During some of the toughest times in my …

THE OLIVE TREE, ANTI-SEMITISM AND BIBLE PROPHECY

by

Dr. Thomas S. McCall At a convention of the Pre-Trib Study Group in Dallas, Dr. John Walvoord presented a paper on the Pre-Tribulation Rapture and Premillennial teaching, including the history of doctrines throughout the Church age.  I was very much struck by something that Dr. Walvoord said as he analyzed the transition from widely held pre-millennial views of the early church in the first three centuries to the predominantly amillennial, postmillennial or anti-millennial views that developed afterwards, and it centered around Augustine. Latent Anti-Semitism Caused Amillennialism I appreciated especially what Dr. Walvoord said, as quoted from the audio tape of …
