THE PLAN OF SALVATION
Is the plan of salvation really a subject of debate? Most all members of the Lord’s church are aware of this plan and can give it.

HEAVEN
How sweet the word, how beautiful the thought, of heaven. As the old song rings out, “How beautiful heaven must be;” then the words of another song comes to mind: “Sing To Me Of Heaven!” As the old preacher had reached the end of his sermon, he walked across the podium and as he did …

Bible Lesson on Time
You know, time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years. It seems just yesterday that I was young, just married and embarking on my new life with my mate. And yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went. I …

DOES THE NEW TESTAMENT MEAN THE SAME THING TODAY— – AS IT DID WHEN WRITTEN? (3)
In our quest to understand the New Testament, we have come face to face with the thought, the teaching, the New Testament does not mean the same thing today as it did in the first century. We have posed the question: If the Faith of the first century, does not mean today what it meant …

DOES THE NEW TESTAMENT MEAN THE SAME THING TODAY— – AS IT DID WHEN WRITTEN? (2)
If the New Testament does not mean what it did when first delivered, then it means nothing at all! It was important in the first century delivery to the lost and clearly seen in Paul’s words to the Galatian “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace …
