  to Jesus Christ, all Christian churches should be peace churches rather than just a select few. Beware of those who teach otherwise. (Matthew 7:12-23) Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Enter ye in at the strait (narrow) gate: for wide is the

  areas in which discerning Christians are being tested right now, and judging by the letters I receive, these two areas are causing almost as many problems as the deception itself. These two problems are REJECTION by friends, family and other Christians; and EXPULSION from local churches - that is, people being forced to leave, or feeling they

  It began in the 1980’s. We lived across the street from a Catholic Church and one evening I happened to be looking out my front door. I saw a crowd of people gathering and it was apparent that some of them were ill. Something unusual was going on and it piqued my interest. I found out later that the people were there for a “charismatic

  Many, if not most, “Christian” churches glorify the military and endorse the Christian's participation in the military. I recommend the following book, because it can be used as an educational tool to portray the reality of war to our young people. You can get this book from the public library.

  (1 Kings 19:18) Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him. Matthew Henry Commentary: In times of the greatest degeneracy and apostasy God has always had, and will have, a remnant faithful to him, some that keep their integrity and do not go down the

  just in case. As born again Christians we want to live out the peace teachings of Jesus Christ. If the draft is ever reinstated in the United States those that are conscientious objectors have to prove that their beliefs are genuine. If the draft was reinstated today would you be able to do that? Can someone close to you testify of your

  the job of presenting “Christianity” to the world. The problem is that many times they are not presenting genuine Christianity. Changing laws will never change anyone's heart, and certainly killing in the name of Jesus will never endear anyone from another faith to Christianity. “O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that

Many Christians are succumbing to the intense pressure within the “professing church” of our day to consider Roman Catholics as brethren in Christ. As this becomes more

  When I arrived at the nursing home I met one of the residents in the hallway. His name is George and he's in his 90’s. Though aged and infirm he greeted me with a cheerful countenance and a wonderful smile. Later, as I sat outside enjoying the lovely weather, I spoke with another resident, Ella. She also is elderly and ill. Her face was

  Can I say the Lord is my Pastor? Certainly. Jesus' teachings must have priority over what man teaches. We are living in a day when Pastors (not all) are teaching things contradictory to what Jesus taught. Can we, should we, “pledge allegiance” to those who contradict the Lord? Is it a light thing to contradict the Lord? Romans 7:6 and

  Where will you go when you die? Hebrews 9:27 tells us “. . . it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment . . .” When I was born again in 1988 one of the first things I told my husband was that you can “know” that you are going to heaven when you die. He didn't say anything right at that moment, but he

  United States of America a Christian nation . . . one nation under God. Are we one nation under God? What does the bible say? How does the bible define a holy nation?

  Lebanon conflict. Many Christians supported Israel unconditionally. They prayed for the IDF to be victorious in destroying Lebanon's infrastructure. When I put the pieces together, seeing the horror of dead children and Christians praying for the Israeli army's victory, they didn't fit. Something was terribly wrong. As I became more aware
