The Truth Shall Make You Free
The human tendency is to think that if we have failed God and He is thus displeased with us, then God’s love for us has diminished also. This may be a human trait at times but it is not a divine one. Sin in all its ugliness, does obstruct a child of God’s fellowship with our Lord and it inhibits our opportunities to be used by Him and to glorify Him, but it does not lessen His love for us as His blood bought and washed children.

Rock and Roll Music Moves People
Even a casual observer will have to conclude that music alone, without the assistance of lyrics, does affect mankind. And, that different styles of music affect mankind in different ways. Anthems stir us to pride and duty. They make soldiers serve willingly in the cause of their country. Dixieland sets our hands clapping and our feet tapping. Hymns make us reflective and appeal to the higher senses of God and spirit. What does Rock and Roll do to man? What has Rock and Roll done to man?

Are You Really A Promise Keeper
Greetings from a man who has walked in your shoes. I attended the Boulder ‘93 PK Conference. I was a counselor at the conference in Denton, Texas and then attended the conference at Texas Stadium. I have been to several Leadership Seminars and rallies. I will not hesitate to say that I had a blast. There were many things that troubled me about the whole movement, but I was on such an emotional high that I refused to investigate those stirrings.

Proof The Bible is the Word of God
The Bible was written by about 40 different human writers who lived over a period of about 1500 years (50 generations). Many of these writers had no opportunity to collaborate with each other and yet, there are no contradictions in their writings! Like no other book, the writers all agreed on such themes as morality, child rearing, husband and wife relationships, the character of God, the way of salvation and the birth, life, death and resurrection of the Savior of mankind, in minute details.

Do All Speak in Tongues?
Though this study deals specifically with the “tongues” movement, every departure from “the simplicity that is in Christ” is fundamentally touched herein for the simple reason that all spiritual error is, at its root, the rejection of the Bible. It can be proved from the Word of God that both “Pentecostalism” and all of the “holiness” (second blessing) sects deny these seven fundamental Bible truths.

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.

Religious Holidays »

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.

Does Easter Glorify Christ?
Easter traces its roots back to the vilest pagan traditions which are specifically condemned by the word of God. Christians should seek to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ in their lives as directed by the Bible and not through pagan traditions.

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.

Are You Going To Heaven?
Take this simple test and find out. No test can prove you are going to heaven, but if you answer these questions honestly from your heart, you can answer this question for yourself.

Isn’t it Strange?
Isn’t it strange that Jesus Christ, who claimed to be God, made this offer, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matt. 11:28) — but most have refused to go to Him for the solution to their problems. Notice, He said, “Come to ME,” not to religion.

Bible Study on the Good News of the Gospel
There are fundamentally only two religions in the world: the religion of self-effort, and Biblical Christianity. One is way more popular because it is based on what you can do, but the other one is true because it is based on what Jesus Christ already did for you.

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?

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.

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

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.

8 Kinds of Death
God’s definitions of death are as surely divine REVELATIONS as are His definitions of life. Only the Spirit of God can reveal to us the real meaning of Paul’s inspired declaration that “She that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth”.—1 Tim. 5:6. So also with John’s statement in 1 John 5:12: “He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life”.
