Biblical Teachings

After God destroyed Sodom, Lot did not want to flee Sodom according to God’s plan. He wanted what he wanted regardless of what God wanted for him. This is further evidence that the sins of Sodom had entrenched themselves into Lot and his family. The Bible clearly teaches that our sins will be passed down to our children. They will not just embrace them they will exceed us (I Kings 14: 22; II Kings 15: 9; Nehemiah 9: 2; Daniel 9: 16 etc.). This passage of scripture is a fine example of that truth. We see here Lot being easily …

DECEPTION Pastor, “Power, Prestige, and Wealth are all Yours if you just Tell Them  What They Want to Hear”  This is perhaps the most insidious of all the heretical deceptions to come upon biblical Christianity.  It is characterized by catering to the desires of the people. Instead of being inculcated with God’s Word and having our personal world view and behavior be patterned after God’s Word, the New Evangelicalism gives the people what they want.  One NT passage clearly predicts this reversal of worship of God to worshipping man. Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, …

2 CHRONICLES 7:13-14 _____________________________________________________________________________ “When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. “   What’s the best foundation possible for building a strong house? Well, it’s certainly not sand. Many times contractors will dig down till they find the correct soil constitution that will support the …

By Steve Meehan One of my passions, every few years, is to take a trip out to the southwest of the United States and to explore the wide-open spaces of our country, where a small part of the Lord’s creation is marvelously on display. My job as a pilot, flying internationally, takes me to a lot of heavily congested areas of the world, so the trips out West are a welcome reprieve from the densely populated metropolitan centers of the globe that I travel to and allow me to get lost for a few days at a time in the …

The Christian, while in the world, is not to be of the world. He should be distinguished from it in the great object of his life. To him, “to live,” should be “Christ.” Whether he eats, or drinks, or whatever he does, he should do all to God’s glory. You may lay up treasure; but lay it up in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, where thieves break not through nor steal. You may strive to be rich; but be it your ambition to be “rich in faith,” and good works. You may have pleasure; but when you are …

Esther 7:6-10(KJV) 6 And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen. 7 And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king. 8 Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was. Then said the …

During the Messianic Kingdom there will be no unsaved person or one who engages in sinful behavior allowed in to the sanctuary in Jerusalem. During the Messianic Kingdom there will be people born to those with natural bodies. Some of them will not accept The gospel of the Messiah. They will not be allowed into the Temple for any reason. These of course are the Gentiles. God demands holiness of His people especially in the houses of worship. The Israelites were guilty of doing this and were warned not to do it when they returned after the Babylonian captivity (Ezra 4:1-3; …

This intercessory prayer of Abraham is the finest example in the Bible. It shows how the righteous men of the world can approach the God of the Universe to request Him to do according to His nature. God says to Abraham that He will go down to Sodom due to their grievous sins and will do to then according to what they have done. Vengeance belongs to God and all sins are against God. He will repay (Deuteronomy 32: 35, 41; Judges 11: 36; Psalms 58: 10; 94: 1 etc.). The Angel of the Lord (Preincarnate Jesus) stays with Abraham …

Matthew 17:5 5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. Our ability to hear the Lord is directly related to our relationship with Him. For example, without hearing the call to repentance and salvation in Jesus Christ, an unbeliever cannot become part of God’s family. Unless this vital step has been taken, nothing else God does or says to that person will make a difference. But what about believers? How does a Christian’s …

By: The John Ankerberg Show With recent hurricanes, earthquakes, fires and other natural disasters devastating many around our world,  numerous people are asking, “Why does God allow suffering through natural disasters?” The Bible does not record a direct explanation regarding the purpose of such events, but does address some of the reasons natural disasters occur.   Part of Life in a Fallen World The Bible presents our world as good, yet imperfect. Part of living in a fallen world includes the natural cycles of storms across the globe. Inevitably, some natural disasters impact populated areas that harm or destroy lives. Sometimes …

Esther 7:3-5 3 Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request: 4 For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king’s damage. 5 Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where …
