To Hell with the Beast - To Heaven with the Two Witnesses
By :
Brandy Connery
I prepared this article for researcher Derrell E. McKinney.
McKinney discovered the Mark of the Beast that was originally written by John the Revelator 2,000 years ago. It was not 666. McKinney is now preparing books about prophecy that are based on the real Mark.
This article explains the importance of the real Mark. It defines the particular behavior that will keep individuals out of Heaven. In Revelation, the behavior is the worship of the Beast.
The most awaited celebration of a year
By :
Rahul Roy
It is the most awaited festival for all as it is both holiday and holy day. People enjoy it along with huge parties and visiting relatives, greeting each other a “Mary Christmas”. It is not only a religious festival but also a social celebration to be celebrated with each other.
What the Bible Says is Important
By :
Bob Carpenter.
To those of us who have become Christians, and studied the Bible that statement has meaning, but we must remember that not everyone shares our conviction. Most who do not share our convictions often doubt that we have any good reason to care what the Bible says. After all the Bible says "For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved, it is the power of God" (1 Corinthians 1:18).
Why I am a Christian...There is a Reason
By :
Bob Carpenter
One day a long time ago, this old man was born into this world, as a baby, with absolutely nothing in his mind. All the knowledge that is in my mind now is there because of some input from outside.

Easter Island: A Unique Place For Tourists
By :
Devendra Saxena
Easter Island has long been the subject of curiosity and speculation. Easter Island was given its common name of "Easter" because the first recorded European visit by a Dutch Admiral Jacob Roggeveen was on Easter Sunday, 1722.

Have your Bible Devotions while you Travel
By :
Daniel Brown.
Christians of all kinds recognize the central place the Bible has in their life of faith. To thrive, a believer must incorporate its message into their daily life. But these days, people are so busy it gets harder and harder to have a special time for reading the Bible. Let's examine an alternative to reading that should work for a lot of folks.
Christians Need News Too!
By :
Donny Prater
If you're like me, you don't have a lot of time to research through the different categories on a website to find just what Christian news story you may be interested in reading. Actually, the majority of us just have time to jump on a site, have a quick peek at the headlines, maybe read a couple, and then jump off in time to make the nine o'clock meeting. Well now the times have changed!
The Most Protective Covering
By :
ann777
Protection is possibly the world’s most dire need. People today are living in fear of environmental disasters, terrorist plots, wars and plagues. How can our governments fully protect everyone? We are in the end-times before Jesus’ second coming. The Bible is full of prophesies describing the events
Christianity - The Religion that is Not
By :
Rev Michael Bresciani
In the common wisdom of the day Christianity is just another religion among many in our world. A careful examination will prove otherwise and the reasons why this is true are what define true faith in Christ from mere religious practice.
Christian School versus Public School
By :
Del Clutterbuck
One of the most significant decisions parents have to take is whether to send their children to a public school or a private school. Many parents don't even know the difference. Of course, it ultimately depends on their neighborhood, beliefs, and expectations. However, among the private schools a Christian school is a favorite choice of most parents.
Shining Shuttle to the Stars or Long Black Train to Hell
By :
Rev Michael Bresciani
It has been calculated that after the 1969 Tet Offensive in Vietnam that the North Vietnamese army was largely made ineffective. With that in mind it could also be said that America has lost no major war in its entire history. Is that what makes America a “super power”?
Amish People - From America's Dutch Country a Lesson for the Whole World
By :
Rev Michael Bresciani
After the gruesome execution style slayings of five young Amish girls the Amish community responded with something that only those who are spiritually numb could fail to see. Why is this so important?
The Bible reveals next and last pope will be a devil impersonating John Paul II
By :
Seoster Team
Through the study of Revelation chapter 17, the Lord has led us to a most startling truth, confirming that we are nearer to the end of all things than ever imagined. We are prompted by our loving God to share this prophecy, that none need be ensnared by the global events soon to transpire which will engulf the world in the grandest deception yet contrived by Satan.
Live from New York's U.N. Theatre - The Devil and the Dancing Dictators

Rev Michael Bresciani
As if the UN did not already have a mountain of failures to live down, along comes two of the worlds most P.T. Barnum like dictators complete with misinformation, ranting and name calling.
Revival Fires in America - Where Will They Light
By :
Rev Michael Bresciani
When a church puts a banner out announcing that they are holding a revival that usually means one thing. It means the evangelist is coming to fire up the church.
A Layman's Commentary on the Gospel of Luke - Lesson I, Part 6 of 6
By :
T.O.D. Johnston
Even though Joseph and Mary had been told by Gabriel of the Holiness of their child, His supernatural conception, plus the glorious message of the shepherds that He was the promised Messiah, they were not able to fully grasp the importance and potential of the Child’s divine mission.
A Layman's Commentary on the Gospel of Luke - Lesson I, Part 5 of 6
By :
T.O.D. Johnston
Only God is worthy of praise for this unique event. The peace which was brought by Jesus was the inner peace with God which is spread abroad in their hearts by the Holy Spirit, which is naturally to a peaceful attitude in dealing with their fellow man. Only those redeemed by God through Christ would have this peace as children of God.
A Layman's Commentary on the Gospel of Luke - Lesson I, Part 4 of 6
By :
T.O.D. Johnston
Most of the people of the time thought of the Messiah as the liberator from the oppression of Roman Rule. Their need was perceived as material and political, rather than recognition of their personal need for salvation. They regarded themselves as righteous, the Romans as pagans and outside the family of God, and believed that the Messiah was to drive these heathen out of the Holy Land. The herald of Christ must cause the people to realize their guilt and to confess their sins.
A Layman's Commentary on the Gospel of Luke - Lesson I, Part 3 of 6
By :
T.O.D. Johnston
Mary submits herself completely to God’s will. “Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy Word.” The highest honor ever conferred upon a woman was this - to become the mother of the Son of God.
A Layman's Commentary on the Gospel of Luke - Lesson I, Part 2 of 6
By :
T.O.D. Johnston
John’s calling for repentance will cause those who answer that call to give up their sinful ways. This would bring the formerly rebellious into religious harmony with their believing ancestors (forefathers). All this works to prepare a people to be spiritually awakened and expectant of the coming of the Lord.
A Layman's Commentary on the Gospel of Luke - Lesson I, Part 1 of 6
By :
T.O.D. Johnston
The uniqueness of Christianity is the recording over many centuries of how God has dealt with man both prophetically, and practically. In the Old Testament, this is shown through the whole sacrificial system, especially the Passover and the Day of Atonement. This was to prepare them for the coming of Jesus. This redemption was completed in and through the Incarnation and finished work of Jesus the Christ.
What the New Testament is About
By :
C.F. Bettridge
The New Testament makes up about one-third of the Bible. It deals with God completing the things that He had promised in the Old Testament. The Bible, which consists of both the Old Testaments and the New, is the story of God at work in the history of mankind to bring about redemption.
Healing And Prosperity Scriptures Include All Christians
By :
Dr. Jay Snell
Deut 8:18 18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. (KJV)
This Scripture was written to and for the Abrahamic Seed Group. When a Gentile accepts Christ as his/her Personal Savior, he/she is immediately grafted into this Abrahamic Seed Group.
Consequently, Gentile Christians are included in the great prosperity promise above. Th...
Rock & Roll In Church?
By :
Verona Raymond
Why do some churches have old time hymns and others have several guitars, drums and other types of instruments that weren't in churches twenty plus years ago? Are we getting away from what a Christian church should be, and forming something else that maybe isn't acceptable to God today?
I know some conservative churches that never allow anything but a piano and a church organ for their music. They sing the old time hymns (from when I was a child in church), of which many ...
Prayer Is The Best Thing!
By :
Verona Raymond
Prayer definitely works and is still working today as it did thousands of years ago. There are many that have experienced it's power.
Just when you wonder when are things going to get better...prayer gets answered! And most of the time it will be better results than what you imagined! A powerful true experience of what prayer can do for those who have faith in it and in God.
I was really getting to the point of utter frustration involving the numerous business ventures ...
Bishop Ussher's Dates: No Proof Of A Young Earth
By :
Greg Neyman
For hundreds of years Christians have appealed to the dates formulated by the 17th century bishop, James Ussher. Using biblical genealogies from Genesis 5 and 11, and other supporting Biblical passages, he pieced together a timeline for Biblical events. Many Bibles have this timeline in the margins, indicating the estimated year that the events on that page occurred.
Many people still swear by these dates, especially the one indicated for Genesis Chapter One, 4,004 B.C. Ma...
Can I Be A Christian And Believe In An Old Earth?
By :
Greg Neyman
Yes, you can! There is no verse in the Bible which causes you to accept a young earth as the only answer. The Bible does not say, "Thou shalt believe in a young earth." The fact is, no verse in the Bible makes any claims as to the age of the earth. All the so-called verses that young earth proponents point to can be interpreted by the reader to mean old or young. Also, the key doctrines of the Bible are not affected by either interpretation.
Many young earth believers will ...
Word Study: Yom
By :
Greg Neyman
The Hebrew word for “day” is the word “Yom.” Young earth creationists have always argued that the word used for the days of creation can only mean a 24-hour day. In this article, we will examine the uses of Yom in the Old Testament, and show that it can mean a wide variety of time periods.
First, one must understand that the Hebrew language is not nearly is diverse as our English language. Whereas we have millions of words, the Hebrew source for the Old Testament only consi...
Dating Biblical Events In An Old Earth Framework
By :
Greg Neyman
As Christians who believe in the Bible, of course we think the events of the Bible happened just as the Bible records them. But when did they happen? This article will examine this question.
The Last Common Denominator
Young earth creationists say that the world is 6,000 years old, therefore they would say the events in Genesis happened less than 6,000 years ago. Unlike young earth creationists, old earth creationists simply don’t know exact dates (some YECs believe ...
Where's Isaac?
By :
Richard Coy
In Genesis God tests Abraham’s faith by telling him to offer up his son Isaac as a sacrifice (Gen 22:1-19). Abraham was faithful and God intervened at the last moment. This is a story most of us are familiar with and you might have noticed a similarity between this event and what God does through His own Son in the New Testament. In both events a father is offering up his only son as a sacrifice for others. Casually reading the Genesis account you might have thought that the ...
Jesus Died For Our Sicknessess Also
By :
Dr. Jay Snell
Look closely at the words “griefs” and “sorrows” in Isaiah’s prophecy below. Scholarship demands that both these words should have been rendered by our English words “sicknesses” and “pains.”
Isa 53:4
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. (KJV)
In this Scripture, Isaiah declared to us that Jesus died for our sickness and pain as well as our sins. Many, many translations of the Bible s...
A Faith Building Device
By :
Dr. Jay Snell
Thirteen times, in the book of Hebrews, the author uses an edifying, faith building Greek device. This device usually begins with the expression “let us.” I call it simply a “let us exhortation.”
In other words, when an author used this grammatical device, he/she simply exhorted someone to join in with him/her in an action. He/she could exhort one to join in and help start an action that had not yet begun.
Or he/she could exhort someone to join in an action that had b...
God Authored All Scripture For Our Benefit
By :
Dr. Jay Snell
As you delve more and more into the Book of Hebrews, you will become aware of something you have never seen before: namely, the author of Hebrews is more emphatic than any other Bible writer about one major theme; God wrote all the Old Testament Scriptures.
This author quoted at least thirty one Old Testament Scriptures in the book of Hebrews. Even when he knew the name of the human instrument that God used to write Scripture, this author spoke as though the Scripture was ...
Walking After Our Own Devices

Dana Smith
Jeremiah 18:12 And they said, there is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.
