Tithing

Malachi 3:10

This week’s topical discussion is in response to last week’s topical discussion where the question was raised, what should Christian leaders, pastors, and parents be teaching our young regarding the issues of tithing, abortion and homosexuality. Therefore, in and effort to address Biblical teachings on the requested topics, we will begin this series of discussions with tithing and approach the subject by defining tithing, the history of tithing and the benefits of… Continue

Deut. 14:26 - It Is Written, Drinking Wine and Strong Drink is NOT FORBIDDEN to the Believer

A misconception in Christianity today is the wine and strong drink are forbidden to the Believer. However if we "search the scriptures" like Berens we will find just the opposite! Once again "tradition" not what the Lord says, what "is written" is the basis of this teaching.

A few points, God forbade His priests to drink, ONLY when going to minister in the Holy Place.

He forbid wine to the Nazarite, however after the Nazarite Vow was completed, we find that God says, "then… Continue

Can You Pass The Strength Test?

Can You Pass The Strength Test?

One's strength is not determined by mountaintop experiences! It is determined by how one deals with the valleys of life! How can you possibly know how strong you are, if you haven't been through anything? The proof is in the pudding, don't call yourself a prayer warrior when the times are peaceful. Who attends motivational seminars by those who haven't gone through anything? Grace and Power usually follows those who are not afraid of being in the heat… Continue

1 King 12: 33 Jeroboam...ordained..in the 8th month...which he devised of his own heart, a feast for Israel

1 King 12: 33 So he (Jeroboam) offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense.

Most Bible students are aware of this incident and realize the grevious error committed by the king, substituting a feast devised in his own heart, and encouraging the Children of… Continue

What Was Nailed To The Cross According to COL. 2:14? Not the Law, but the Law's Indictment our -"death warrant"

THE TRUTH ABOUT COL. 2:14

Millions are deceived! There are precious few people on the entire earth that really UNDERSTAND the Scripture in question. Before any study of a difficult verse in the writings of the apostle Paul, we must consider the warning given by Peter in II Pet. 3:16.

"And also in all his (Paul's) epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things HARD TO BE UNDERSTOOD, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest (twist), as they do… Continue

COLOSSIANS 2:16-17. Are God's Holy Days Abolished By These Verses? No They Are Not!

THE TRUTH ABOUT COLOSSIANS 2:16-17

There are those who feel that the Holy Days of God, commanded by Jesus Christ for His people, are all done away by one Scripture in Col. 2:16-17. It is time we asked ourselves a simple question. What do these two verses really say? "Let no man judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body (is) of Christ."

First of all it says…… Continue

How many of us have gone out ready to win the world, full of hope, dreams, and ambitions only to return gleaning sheaves of empty hopes and promises?
