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.

God’s Formula for Rest
In His word, the Bible, God has given His children a formula for rest. However, too often, we misunderstand the formula and like in the examples above, are not happy with the results. In this study we are going to examine God”s formula for rest in its three steps in an effort to obtain the desired end results.

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.

Covenants
We read in Romans 9:4 that to Israel “pertaineth … the covenants.” A study of the covenants God has made in the past — and will make in the future — with Israel gives us a clear panoramic view of His program with (and for) them as a nation of people. Also such a study prepares us to understand what God”s truth is on other subjects, including “the Lord’s supper.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

Good News of the Gospel »

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.

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.

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.

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.

Shocking Facts About the Church
This little brochure may have some information about The Church that will be shocking to you. Some of the names have been changed for the benefit of those who might not want to be identified, but the truth will remain just as shocking to many.

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?

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.

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).”

Testing the Mormon Gospel
Since we are instructed in the word of God to ”prove all things and hold fast to that which is good“ (1 Thess 5:21), at least three questions should immediately come to mind. How does the gospel ministered by the apostle Paul in the Bible compare with the ”fullness of the everlasting gospel“ contained in Mormonism? Does Joseph Smith pass God’s test for a true prophet? Does the ”account of the former inhabitants of this continent“ in the Book of Mormon find verification in history and archaeology as the Bible does with its record?
