The Foot of the Cross It was the most remarkable day in mankind's history! God, who became flesh and dwelt among man, now hung on the Roman government's most cruel form of capital punishment, a cross. Though His accusers could find nothing for which He was guilty still they had agreed; He must die. Though Pilate, the Roman governor whose duty it was to maintain peace in Israel had found no fault in Him, he only washed his hands of the affair and let the Sanhedrin have their way. And multitudes of people were on hand in Jerusalem to observe this destiny changing affair. What was their ...

2020 came and I began to pray for reviving. I can’t say I know why, but I began waking up around midnight each night to pray that God would give us “a little reviving.” One night, around the middle of January, I said to God in one of those midnight prayer meetings, “Whatever you need to break in us that we might see a little reviving, I give you permission.” Wow, I could have never guessed how God would answer that! 2020 has provided us, not only with the normal things everyone has been dealing with such as: COVID-19, assembly restrictions, economic troubles, and a massive shift ...

After the Apostle's scathing rebuke to the church in his first letter, Paul was relieved to hear that they had responded well. They had repented. They had corrected their errors. They had received his message as it truly was, from God. They had, but not all. There remained in the church a segment who challenged Paul's authority as an apostle. 2 Corinthians is a celebration of the victories an instruction on giving and a confrontation with the Judaizers. The message is as relevant today as it was two thousand years ago.

Some years ago I engaged in a series of messages on the prayers of the Apostles. These men had requested of Christ that He teach them to pray. And He answered their prayer. It seemed to me that much could be learned by considering the recorded prayers of the Apostles in the New Testament. The series was a blessing to me and I created a graphic from the outline of the series as a whole. That graphic has been a prayer tool of mine for years. I am now able to release the message notes in this book format. May the Lord bless us all as we press ourselves to pray as the Lord taught His disciples ...

The Gospel According to Mark is the shortest of the four Gospels, and some believe it may have been written as a sort of “tract” meant to be read by a fast moving and “on the go” type of people.[1] It was, of course, written by Mark, or sometimes called John Mark in the Bible. Mark’s readership is a Roman person. His life is busy and fast paced He is always on the move and traveling He doesn’t have a lot of time for incidentals So Mark cuts right to the chase. Again a quote, “The abruptness with which he announces his subject, and the energetic brevity with which, passing by ...

This book is designed to introduce basic Baptist principles involved in church planting. The authority for church planting is the local church. We do not presume that our ideas are infallible or unchangeable. We offer this to help and give them insight should the Lord lead the reader into that work through their local church. Within these few pages, the young preacher will also find bits of help for conducting weddings, funerals, and administering Our Lord’s Supper.

Every mention of the word church in the King James New Testament identified, classified and taught in view of the context. This book seeks to defend the position of the local church and clarify that there is no universal church found in the Bible.

Are you saved? If so, the Spirit of God witnesses to your spirit that you are the child of God. Nothing else proves a genuine conversion. Not a date recorded in your Bible when you knelt and prayed. Not a testimony of salvation among the brethren in your church. Nothing but the witness of the Holy Spirit. If you are saved there is one thing that is certain of you, God has predestined, chosen, elected that you be united into a local congregation of baptized believers. There will be some in the church that are more difficult for you to love. That matters not. God’s will is that you be there...

I became a believer in the late 1970’s. It was a time when Christians spoke a great deal about prophetical subjects. There was a sense of urgency among Christians. We believed Jesus could come again at any moment. We spoke about it. We talked to unsaved people about it. We used songs, books and visuals to strike up those conversations to tell others about Jesus and to encourage them to be saved. We believed it to be a blessed hope. We prayed for it and, though I do not believe a lot of us were any more spiritual than most of us are today, the subject of Jesus’ coming again was on our ...
