Joseph, A Type of Christ

by

from Care for God’s Fruit-trees and other Messages by H. A. Ironside The story of Joseph as given in Genesis (chapters 37 to 50) is perennially fresh and delightful. Young and old alike revel in it. Looked at as an old-world picture of customs and people long-since vanished, there is a freshness and charm about it that stirs the heart and holds our attention in a remarkable way. But in studying Scripture there is not only the literal application, which is always important, but every part of the Word of God has a spiritual, typical, and dispensational application as well, …

Is Salvation Eternal, or Can It Be Lost?

by

The question is often asked. If someone is truly saved, can they lose this? Those who say “yes,” haven’t thought the issue through very well. Usually, a question on this matter will be accompanied by the example of a homosexual who has called on Christ and then fallen back into his old ways. We will go with that below, but it could be any sin or addiction leading to a supposed “loss of salvation.”First, a few questions. Answer now, and then see how you score. No need to email me your answers. It’s just for you to think it through …

The Judge of All the Earth Will Do Right :: By Paul Kocourek

by

by RRadmin7 Category:General Articles I believe in the Pretribulation Rapture (Pre-Trib Rapture). Many do not. Some insist the Church will go halfway through the 70th Week’s seven years (Mid-Trib Rapture). Others insist on maybe three-quarters (Pre-Wrath Rapture). Still others insist on going through the entire seven years of the 70th Week (Post-Trib Rapture). I wonder if the non-Pre-Trib Rapture proponents really understand what they are saying. Let us look at some rather unnerving math about the 70th Week (aka the Tribulation). The Bible teaches in Revelation chapter 6 that, by the time the first four Seals have been broken, 1/4th of the …

Why did the Messiah have to die?

by

“By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time onward until His enemies be made a footstool for His feet. For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.” – Hebrews 10:10-14 This passage points out how the high priest had to sacrifice …

Our Faithful Father

by

In times of helplessness, why does faith falter for some people but grows stronger for others? Our Faithful Father 2 Timothy 2:11-1311 Faithful is the saying: For if we died with him, we shall also live with him: 12 if we endure, we shall also reign with him: if we shall deny him, he also will deny us: 13 if we are faithless, he abideth faithful; for he cannot deny himself. All of us experience times when our circumstances seem unbearable, prayers appear to go unanswered, and the Lord feels distant. When that happens, we may wonder if He is …

Nowhere To Hide: Part I (Dedicated to the Skeptics, Scoffers, and Deniers)

by

By Pete Garcia This part of the series is dedicated to those who think Christianity is an archaic, misogynistic, biased, racist, intolerant, homophobic, obtuse, and outdated belief system. You think that Christianity is the cause of all the world’s problems. From your perspective, Christianity is responsible for the Crusades, the Inquisitions, slavery, Jonestown, and global […]

Revelation Message 2 The Latter Days Described

by

Only the Biblically illiterate fail to see that we are in the “Last Days.” The Last Days began with the First World War as Christ said in the Olivet Discourse. Nation rising against Nation and Kingdom against Kingdom. This is a Jewish idiomatic phrase, which means a conflict in the total region under discussion. In the […]

The Empty Tomb

by

In the cold gray of the early morning three women wended their way through the darkened streets of Jerusalem. It was the dawn of the first day of the week, but their hearts were heavy. Their feet plodded slowly over the rough stones of the streets of Jerusalem. The day preceding the Sabbath they had seen their hope in Jesus of Nazareth crushed. They witnessed Him dying a cruel death by crucifixion. It had been their hope that He would redeem Israel and deliver them from their Roman oppressors; but now their dreams and hopes lay in the darkened tomb. …

The Land Nobody Wanted – by Jack Kinsella

by

The land claimed by Israel is smaller than the state of Rhode Island. In comparison to the Arab Middle East, Israel is like a single piece of sod on a football field. Carrying the analogy further, imagine that one team has to defend that single piece of sod from an opposing team that outnumbers them 650 to 1. The other team, claiming unfair advantage, is demanding the single piece of sod be divided and half of it be awarded to them. The referees agree, and penalize the defending team for refusing to concede half of its 1/6th of one percent …
