If the Pope does the right thing, he's criticized by the world, if he does the wrong thing, he's criticized by the church. My apologies to my R.C. brethren, but the Pope is still just another man, though saddled with great responsibilities as a spiritual leader of the R.C. Church. I would hope...

There's a few questions I'd like to pose. First, what nation wields the most political, military, and economic influence in the world? Second, what spiritual power is behind the system of this world? Third, what nation does the most to promote the agenda of that spiritual power (hint the answer...

I believe that J.M. has a zeal for the holiness of God, as does R.C. Sproul, but John sees much of the Charismatic movement as a mockery of the Holy Spirit and the work of con men, and in this puts himself in the position of the defender of God or of His Church (as though God requires a...

I've never specifically studied reformation theology, but arrived at a theology of my own (sometimes receiving teaching from "reformation" theologians) through biblical study and the guidance and teaching of the Spirit I received when I put my faith in "Christ alone," seeing in myself and in no...

This was not always the case. Prior to Pope Clement (?) there were even clergy members who became operative Masons with the desire of gaining the technical expertise in architecture to supervise the building of their own church buildings. Pope Clement was responsible for the excommunication of...

Over the course of the last week or so, the "grace to you" program has been airing messages from the "Strange Fire" conference hosted by John MacArthur. While I thought this conference was supposed to be about the more bizarre aspects of the current "charismatic movement," from what I've been...

I wouldn't say "forever." The great experiment of masonry in the "New World" is soon to come to an unfortunate end (for them.) The only kingdom that will last "forever" is that of our Savior, and that will come in it's glory at about the same time that the system of this world (the "new world...

Well, now, if there is a simple answer to "how do people come to know God?" It would have to be "Only that He reveals Himself to them." There is a sense in which creation reveals the glory of God, in the same manner in which a piece of artwork, a poem, a song, reveals something of the artist...

I'll just let scripture speak: 3. Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.'' 4. Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?'' 5...

I'm no historian, I was just raptured by the idealistic speeches that Lincoln had made on various occasions, revealing a vision that I at one time had believed to be Christian. This was before I had some understanding of free masonry, and the real motive forces behind the American Revolution...

Is one born again by baby steps? Coming to a "saving faith" may take time, but of necessity is through hearing the word of God, and without conversion remains vain and futile. (By conversion, I'm not speaking of "transformation," "the renewing of the mind," or confessing faith in some religion.)...

Lincoln's actions may have promulgated the war, but the nation was on the way to civil war long before Lincoln was ever elected. A civil war was even predicted by at least one of the founding fathers of the nation as civil strife was understood to eventually be the result of the comprimise over...

"Towering genius disdains a beaten path. It seeks regions hitherto unexplored. It sees no distinction in adding story to story upon the monuments of fame erected to the memory of others. It denies that it is glory enough to serve under any chief. It scorns to tread in the footsteps of any...

"If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide"...

Amen, brother.

What I was trying to say, is that effective preaching requires belief or conviction in what you say. I haven't heard a pastor yet that hasn't made some mistakes, but my point is simply "why would anyone believe a message, if the one delivering it doesn't seem to believe it himself?" I realize...

Shalom, brother, I agree with you for the most part, especially in the context of bible studies, but you can't approach the pulpit thinking that way (well actually you can, but people will be less inclined to believe you if your preaching is without conviction.) 10. As each one has received a...

You sound like a freemason, are you on the level? When was the last time you offered up a spotless lamb (or any animal offering for that matter) as a peace or sin offering? When was the last time that you "took someone out to the gate" to stone them to death for committing adultery or even for...

If you say so then it must be true. See Yah.

I'm not ignoring what Paul wrote, but I believe that you are misunderstanding what was written in Hebrews and I've already commented at length upon that. The Pastor of the congregation with which I am presently worshipping on Sundays, has been teaching from Hebrews at the same time as I've been...
