Marriage, Divorce and Remarriage — A Biblical Perspective
Our prayer in this series of studies was to know the mind of God or the attitude of God toward marriage, divorce and re-marriage. The focus of our study was to understand what allowance God has made for those who are the “victims” in a situation where their partner has been guilty of sexual immorality or where their partner has abandoned them. Our desire was to first allow the scripture to indicate God’s original intent in the marriage. Second, to understand what allowance God, in his mercy, has granted those whose spouse has not followed God’s original intent relevant to marriage.

Would You Like to Have a Happy Marriage?
If someone offered you a guaranteed happy marriage for $1,000, would you be willing to pay that much for it? How about $5,000? $10,000? Well the truth is that it’s going to cost you a whole lot more than that. In fact, a really happy marriage is going to cost you everything you have! Is it worth that much to you?

Sexual Abuse Survivors
Sexual abuse is probably the most harmful crime that can be committed. The victims often carry deep mental and emotional scars. This study is an effort to help those who have been so terribly abused to find the relief and rest that only a personal and loving God can give.

Important “Keys” to Bible Understanding
When studying the scriptures, there are four important points or “keys” to keep in mind. Neglect of these points has lead to much confusion and false doctrine. Whereas, careful application of these precepts may help open the Holy Scriptures for a clearer understanding of the will of God for our lives.

Rightly Dividing the Word
The Bible is the word of God. It sufficiently supplies our need for the knowledge of God, and is an adequate chart, compass and guide for us in the life that now is, and in things eternal.

Bible Study on Acts
An early Greek manuscript simply placed the title (praxeis, doings) Acts on this book. It has been suggested the title “Acts of the Holy Spirit” would be more accurate because of the many references to the person and work of the Holy Spirit in matters of directing the early church.

Religious Holidays »

Seasons Greetings
Sincerely and honestly, at this time and always, we wish you the joy from above that only the Lord Jesus Christ can give — let us tell you why — we wish you then, not a Merry Christmas, but a joyous eternity.

XMAS, the Diabolical Paradox
Diabolical: of, or pertaining to, the Devil.
Paradox: a self-contradictory statement.
Christmas is purported to be a celebration honoring the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. By simply and honestly examining the history, the scriptures and the actual practices of Christmas, it may be easily seen that it is truly a work of Satan foisted on an unsuspecting and willingly gullible humanity.

Happy Halloween?
The origins of Halloween are popish and pagan in the extreme, incorporating pagan practices that are condemned by God”s word. Christians should not mix demonic, satanic, witchcraft with their spiritual natures.

Good News of the Gospel »

You Can Know You Are Saved
This is the gospel truth on salvation—not just someone’s opinion—but the truth directly from God”s word. As the Apostle John wrote, “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.”

The Church »

Are You a Religious Drunkard?
If there is only “one, true, spiritual church” then, of course, the so-called “visible” churches are not “true” and they are not “spiritual.” Since the Lord Jesus Christ is building only one church, the one concerning which He promised: “Upon this rock I will build my church,” who but a “drunk” could think He is building any one of these man-made, local churches — to say nothing of the 666 varying, competing, sectarian corporations called Christian Churches?

Authority, Order and Motivation
This is intended to encourage thinking about the motivating factors behind the various decisions that every Christian makes in everyday life. We all have an old nature, the “old man” of Eph 4, that we have to deal with continually. This should cause us to realize that there will be some things that we do that are not pleasing to the LORD

Join the Church of Your Choice or Join the Church of God’s Choice
Is there a Church of God’s choice for his children? We believe God has commanded us to endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. We want to study God’s word with you to prove the body of Christ is functional and the only church the Lord is building. Salvation by God’s grace makes you a member of His church.

Three Open Leters To Herbert W. Armstrong
These letters were written many years ago, and there have been changes in the so-called World Wide Church of God since then, but we are continuing to publish them because they have been referenced in other wide-spread literature and we still receive many requests for them. We know that Satan doesn’t have any new tricks up his sleeves, so these principles can help today, “lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices (2 Corinthians 2:11).”

Calvanism
The three basic tenants of Calvanism: (1) limited atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ (2) total blindness of unsaved, and (3) unconditional election of the saved (and therefore the lost), are answered from a Biblical perspective.

Testing the Roman Catholic Church
Is the Roman Catholic Church the one true church of the Bible? The Roman Catholic Church claims to be the one and only true church. They claim they are resting on three pillars: the Bible, the Church Fathers, and Tradition. But as we will see these don't agree, so they are really just trusting tradition, which is not a safe place for a child of God.
