Written by Frank Stigall How did the races come about? God only created one race in the beginning. That race was Adam and Eve. From Adam sprang all nationalities on this earth, regardless of color. However, we are not going to speak of color, but of race only, which encompass all men...

Written by Don Byrd If you are a Christian the un- derstanding of who you really are is contingent upon your under- standing of the scriptures. If your understanding of the scriptures is based on something other than the epistles of Paul then you will miss the secret that is found in the...

Editorial written by Warren Litzman We thank God for the spreading of the gospel. I am talking about THE GOSPEL, the only gospel, the one true gospel given to us in the Scriptures where it is so stated and recorded. I am being bold in this. Some people say their preach- ers preach the...

Spiritual combat veterans by Cliff Gardener A short time ago I had the oppor- tunity to converse with a Vietnam war veteran who had been a U.S. Army Medical Corpsman. He re- lated to me how deeply the experi- ence had touched him. It appeared to me that he was “marked” for the rest of his...

Written by Don Byrd creation of man 2 From this understanding, I glean that Adam was originally created body, soul, and empty house or empty container. I get the “empty house” statement from (Matthew 12:43-44). “When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places...

Written by Don Byrd creation of man “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the...

Written by Don Byrd There can be no liberty aside from the grace of God. “For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adop- tion, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.” (Romans 8:15). What is the spirit of bondage? Israel was in bondage in...

Written by Don Byrd All Thing's To All Men; “For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that...

Written by Charles W. Wages “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” (1 Cor...

Written by Erwin Redinger On the 6th February 2002, I received an understanding that Christ lived in me and He was my Life. It was not a WOW experience; I did not see lights, nor hear angels singing. It was just a normal morn- ing, BUT, I knew something that I never knew before. I noticed that...

Written by Erwin Redinger Some people preach two gospels, one for the Jews and one for. The Gentiles. They believe the Jews. are the chosen people of God and. Therefore must be handled differently from the Gentiles. When a Jew gets converted to Christ, they put him on a pedestal, and one gets...

From the heart of Warren Litzman In Acts 28:28, when the gospel went to the Gentiles, by no stretch of the imagnation could the Gentiles receive the same gospel as had been given to Israel. The salvation of the Lord is radically different between the Jew and the Gentile. Once, Gentiles were...

Grace and Stability by Don Byrd “For whom he did fore- know, he also did predes- tinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren” (Rom. 8:29). I am one among many sons. He has many sons, but I have only one Father. He and I have a one-to-one...

Dead God A number of years ago, there were bumper stickers that stated “God Is Dead,” which automatically infuri-ated me when I saw one. Today, when I think about that slogan, I begin to understand why people thought God was dead. When those bumper stickers first became popular, I now have...

Writing attributed to Don Byrd We don’t need a new God, and we don’t need a new Bible; all we need is a revelation into our Father’s grace, which is where He is hidden because of the blindness of our minds! "And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could...

Part 2 by Cliff Gardener, friend and confidant: Sometimes those who have seen the need to start a new church are eventually put out because they are too popular with the people and are sensed as a threat to the newly established leadership. Those people who suffered the broken arm while...

Written by a friend of mine Cliff Gardener Trying to make religious Christianity work is like starting an old Model “T” Ford. Everything had to be set right for the engine to start and run. Religious Christians are always trying to “get started” by doing something for God, and then they are...

Some of you may remember Norman Grubb, Missionary and one of the great writers of our time. I remember a friend giving me a Grubb book, I read some and put it down because it just wasn't my cup of tea. What I learned in time was Grubb wrote mostly about his understanding of the Christ in him...

1Cor 11:1 1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. Following Paul as he follows Christ is imperative for God’s people today who are chosen to be in Christ. Actually, this is not something left to theologians to decide. The work was finished at the Cross, salvation was completed...

1Cor. 11:1 1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. A radical change happened on the cross, God exchanged an earthly people (Israel) for a Heavenly people (the born again). He did not cast Israel aside and be through with her, but set her aside untill the end of grace. Israel...
