Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test! (2 Corinthians 13:5) Paying A Price For False “Decisional Regeneration” You probably know that back on July 28th ‘Vampire’ Author Anne Rice ‘Quits’ Christianity; as […]

By Ken Silva pastor-teacher on Jul 30, 2010 in Current Issues | Comments Off on JESUS CHRIST IS THE TRUTH
The whole Bible, and the whole of experience, bear witness that by nature we are ignorant of the truth. No doubt there are many truths which an unconverted man does know. He may know the truths of mathematics and arithmetic – he may know many of the common everyday truths; but still it cannot be […]

Neo-Liberalism’s Hijacking of Biblical Terminology The old liberalism and today’s neo-liberalism both hijack the terminology of authentic Biblical Christianity to formulate counterfeit doctrines. This is not surprising when men of seminaries and pulpits abandon sound principles of interpretation.

Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:19-21) Following Blind […]

(1 Corinthians 6:9-10) The Bible Very […]

Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions. (2 Timothy 4:3-4) Mystics Multiplying Myth A while back […]
