LET THE BIBLE SPEAK.

  STANDARD OF AUTHORITY IN RELIGION. “…Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.” (I Cor. 1:10). To be able to agree in religion, we must have the same rules to follow. If we follow different rules, we will never be able to be united. We will first discuss what our standard of authority is not.  Our Opinions. “There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death” (Proverbs 14:12). If our opinions were the standard of authority in religion, there would be more than five billion standards of authority in this world. What most people think is not our authority in religion (Mt. 7:13, 14). Jesus tells us there are only two roads that we can travel. We will travel the broad way that leads to destruction, or the narrow way which leads to life. All roads do not lead to he

Is The Kingdom of God On Earth Today? There are those who believe that when Christ was born,  He was to bring the Kingdom of God to earth , but  the Jews rejected it, therefore, Christ took the Kingdom back to heaven and will not establish it until He returns the 2nd time.  At that time He is to set up His kingdom in Jerusalem and reign for a 1000 years. That thought makes the “church” which Jesus promised in Matt 16:18 and the Kingdom of God two separate entities.   I believed that what Jesus’ promised in Matt 16:18 was fulfilled  in Acts 2 and no matter how many Jews rejected it,  the Kingdom was established just as He had promised.  Please notice the following scriptures. Daniel was permitted by God Himself to see world events from his own time to the coming of Christ and beyond.   Among these things was the fact that the eternal Kingdom of God would be established “in the days of those kings” (Dan. 2:44)   When the New Testament began its account of the coming of Christ, Luke says

“You Have An Anointing” By Joe R. Price   The apostle John wrote, “But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.” And again, “But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you; and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.” (1 Jn. 2:20, 27)   What is this “anointing” John says Christians have from God? Does it have any bearing and application for you and me?   Those who assert miraculous gifts and powers of the Holy Spirit in this modern age claim an “anointing” that has been popularized by Benny Hinn and similar purveyors of prophetic powers in our time.   “Anointing” in the New Testament is from the Greek word  chrisma , to rub, smear; “an unguent or smearing, that is, (figuratively) the special endowment (“chrism”) of the Holy Spirit,” (G5545). To help us understand how Hinn and the Charismatic movement

Questions and Answers by Bobby L. Graham Are Gambling and Playing the Lottery Sinful? Answer: Gambling in any form, including the lottery, has proved to be a financial drain on those who can least afford the loss. It is also a social blight to the communities depending on it, and a moral curse to those participating in it. By leaving such a wake of destruction wherever it spreads, how can people recommend gambling or even a lottery? Jimmy the Greek, a famous oddsmaker from a previous generation, warned about becoming involved in gambling: "They should never legalize gambling in America. If you think dope addiction is bad, a guy who gets hooked on gambling goes all the way. The average American does not have the discipline to quit. God forbid if they legalize gambling." Jimmy quit gambling in 1961, did not visit the newly opened casinos in Atlantic City, NJ, and had no plans to do so. He further said gambling is for suckers and that he had seen man

WHAT YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT TITHE.                                    By: Benson Omole Min. WHAT IS TITHE?                                                                                                                                                       Tithe means tenth part. It is taken as a tax for the support of the Temple worship, in the Mosaic era. In the religion known as “JUDAISM”. Therefore, all the commandments of God, relating to the payment of TITHE, can be read, in the Old Testament section, of the BIBLE. WHO MADE THE LAW OF TITHE?                                                                                                                           God in Heaven made the Law of the Old Testament, in the Bible. The Law of Tithe was part of the covenant which God made with Moses for the Children of Israel, on the Mount Sinai. (“And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD'S. It is holy to the LORD. If a man wa
