John – A Baptizer

The accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are valuable records of the life of Jesus. However, included in those writings, we also find information about others who were contemporary with Christ. One of those individuals was a man named John. For many people, he is known as “John the Baptist”. It would be just

What Happens When We Die?

I remember a fellow preacher once saying something like this: “If you don’t see angels after you die, then you’re in trouble”. Sadly, there is a lot of confusion and misunderstanding about death and what happens after. Hopefully some of that confusion can be erased by a study of some Scriptures. First of all, what

Understanding Repentance

When studying the Bible, we come across certain things that must be done in order to obtain salvation. One of which is faith that Jesus is the Son ofGod (Rom. 10:17; John 8:24). Another is confession of our faith (Rom. 10:9-10). Still another is the command to be baptized for the remission of sins(Acts 2:38;

How Far Will You Go With Jesus?

How wonderful and encouraging it is when a person makes the choice to become a Christian. That person has come to a decision that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. Also, that person has decided to change his thinking and his life. He is so confident in his faith that he will verbally

Can I Know That I Am Saved?

          One of the things that seemingly torments many children of God is whether or not they can know if they are truly saved.  This is one of the saddest conditions in which a Christian can find himself.  Getting up in the morning and wondering if I am okay.  Going to bed at night and

Born Again

John chapter three is one of the most referenced segments of Scripture in all of the Bible.  Of course it contains the familiar verse, John 3:16, but there is much more in that chapter than just that one verse.  At the beginning of the chapter we are introduced to a Pharisee named Nicodemus.  Nicodemus came

Time To Take Inventory

     “11And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living”. 13And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far

Here Am I; Send Me

            Isaiah wrote, “In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain

All Things New

Jesus said, “And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.” Revelation 21:5.  Every person likes new things. Having new things keeps our economy moving. We often become bored with the old things and buy new ones.

The Whosoevers

Who are the “whosoevers?” This word has a number of meanings in the Greek language. Whatever Greek word one chooses still shows that everyone has the opportunity to be saved, have forgiveness of sins, born again, or condemned.             John writes in John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his
