Exposition of the Book of Hebrews Part 1. The book of Hebrews is shrouded in a bit of mystery as to who its author is. As Bible Believers we obviously would say that its author is Christ, but as to who penned this letter we do not know as it was not signed. That isContinue reading “A more excellent name”

The tipping point
Take a trip back in time, before there were computers or TV’s. Before you could “buy” something with a swipe of a plastic card (look at me, no one swipes cards anymore…) you had to have the physical cash to do a transaction, or you had to write a cheque (not a misspelling). We didn’tContinue reading “The tipping point”
A Jewel Factory
If you look up the word “virtue” in the dictionary you will undoubtedly get a definition that states that virtue is strength. The word comes from the Latin word vireo who’s primary meaning is strength. It would be improper to substitute the word strength for virtuous in many cases because virtue has a very specificContinue reading “A Jewel Factory”
Desire
My four-year-old found out that the fair was in town. She was excited to go. She told me as soon as I got home from work. Her eyes were bright with hopeful anticipation. That night she reminded me that the fair was town. She had one request… she wanted to ride the Ferris wheel. IContinue reading “Desire”
Restoration
James 5:19-20 KJV
Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
Answers in the Storm
God desires us to come boldly to him in asking for the things that we need and want – But what if his answer is no? Will you still trust him and follow his will?
True Discipleship
I am always so surprised when I hand someone a tract and get into a conversation with them. I’ve talked to many people from many different religions, but what stumps me the most are people who go to church religiously, but don’t known where they will go when they die. They have no clue. IfContinue reading “True Discipleship”

What is the difference between a foolish person or a wise person? Simple this: The wise man obeys God, and the foolish man obeys self.
BAPTIST Distinctives T
Baptist Distinctives Leason 8T is for Two Offices In a Church – Bishop and Deacon. The Bible only records two offices in the church. A bishop – also called an Elder or a pastor – and a Deacon – which are both ministers or servants. The members of a church are brothers and sisters, and none is higher than another although there is a certain amount of authority and honor given to these two offices and there are requirements for the MEN who hold these offices. The Bible does not teach a hierarchy of priest who control a church. We do not believe in the office of a Pope, or an office of a cardinal.
BAPTIST Distinctives S
Baptist Distinctives Leason 7S is for Separation of Church and State. Baptists have been the object of much persecution by Roman Catholic, pagans, and protestants alike. Because of these, and because of the believe of Individual Soul Liberty – along with many other biblical reasons, Historic Baptists hold that a secular state should not be in control (in anyway) of the church, nor should one sect of Christianity (even if that sect were Baptist) control and mandate the laws and morality of the subjects of a state (AKA a nation). This is not separation of God and state, it is separation of church and state.
