"And I will shake all nations, and they shall come to The Desire of all Nations, and I will fill this Temple with glory, says The Lord of Hosts." Haggai 2:7 Who was Haggai? Haggai, Zachariah and Malachi are the last of the prophetic books. They are the post-exilic prophets. Of the sixteen OT prophet... Read More
THE following letters are published at the request of many. Many arguments have been, and, no doubt, will yet be, offered against the sentiments. The most weighty of them I have noticed; but the most common are unworthy of notice, being nothing but retoiled refined stuff of human invention--bold uns... Read More
Throughout its history the church has been plagued with two heretical teachings regarding sanctification. One error confounds justification with sanctification and thus makes salvation dependent upon faith in Christ and good works. This is the heresy of legalism. This teaching in various forms is fo...

Please read over again Hebrews 12:25-29. “This word, yet once more signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken.” We have not yet presented a tithe of the Scriptures that treat on the above subject, and show its relation to the purification of the church. Let us now begin with 1 Peter 4:1... Read More
1.) What about all that the New Testament teaches about the "father-heart of God"? Jesus called God "Father" over one-hundred times in the Gospel of John.

Ripped from their context, these verses are sometimes used to promote the idea that God has sovereignly preselected certain individuals for salvation. But we don't have to search very f... Read More
Interpreting the book of Revelation certainly isn't getting any easier with this chapter. Yet if we remain content understanding general themes, it isn't so bad. God is holy. He offers mercy. When His mercy ends, His judgment begins. At first it seems as if Jesus, the Lamb of 14:1, and the 144,000, ... Read More
Introduction You are going to love this story. Jesus told it using just one sentence, but with a little imagination, it can easily be expanded without doing any harm to the lesson. A man is walking across a neighbor's field early one morning when something poking through the soil—perhaps exposed fro... Read More
I greet everybody in Jesus' name. It's been a blessing to be here and it's been humbling to hear these things that we heard this morning. I had to think of John the Baptist, when some of his disciples came to him and said, "That man Jesus who you baptized, people are going to Him now and He's drawin... Read More
