Not if you wilfully go wrong.

There was a story told in the long ago about a boy on a horse carriage. While his parents were in the mercantile someone untied the horses and sent them on the run. A hero on a fast horse run the carriage down, got a hold of the reins, and brought the carriage to a stop. Years later the boy...

When my mother was sick and passed away a decade or so ago she ran up a $250,000 bill, which thankfully she had good insurance. I asked some hospital administrator... Why? In which the reply was malpractice insurance rates were outrageous. I don't know if the American people understand that when...

If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. - Romans 10:9 After that we would have many revivals and conferences in hopes of seeing spiritual things born in the heart of the new Christians...

The word Gospel itself means good tidings and refers to the birth, life, ministry, and death of the Lord Jesus Christ.

It is important, that if someone claims sanctification, that you have the ability to peer within the heart and find good things. My old pastor was a good example of sanctification.... 1. Very disciplined guy - Up at 6AM every morning 2. Rejoiced in what he called being a Pentecostal Holiness...

The bible, especially Revelation, is written with much metaphor. I cannot believe one can study Revelation, and the bible, and see the same perspective as another fellow believer. You will agree and disagree on the interpretation of different passages. If a pastor prepares a message and does...

Most of the media I listen to is Christian radio. When I was in college I would listen in while doing my homework. Most Christian broadcast came out of the inner city and it was all unique. I would listen to ministers who would need readers. You would hear a gruffy voice, a pause, and then a...

I can remember when the Freewill Baptist church presented me with the KJV Open Bible that family, friends, and fellow Christians glorified God as if I had obtained something of great worth.

Not only did the Freewill Baptist present me with the bible, but also with spirituality. The most spiritual service I have ever benefited from was attending a Freewill Baptist foot washing. I hated the thoughts of going and almost didn’t. They had regular service with communion afterwards and...

I do take notice of the bible version but don't ever remember saying anything about it. I will make a facial gesture according to my judgement. Remembering especially.... If thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ...

I taught a year of Sunday School as a teenager with the Freewill Baptist and they presented me with a KJV Open Bible all signed by the members upon my departure.
