In part one we conclude that the Hebrews were believers and that their salvation was not in jeopardy. Some of them were being tempted to return to Judaism as a way of escaping persecution from their fellow countrymen. Hebrews 6:2-4 is not an easily understood passage. So I think we have to take some careContinue reading “Part II – Can You Lose Your Salvation?”

The Bible, Why Should You Read It?
A few years ago, from time to time a fellow would say to me, “If you don’t read the Bible, then I think you’re probably not saved”. There were a number of years that I didn’t read and study God’s word. Was I not saved? According to him, probably not. I guess the thief onContinue reading “The Bible, Why Should You Read It?”
Does God offer us Fire Insurance or Life Insurance?
Most people have insurance on their home. It would be pretty ridiculous not to have it. My eldest son almost burned down the house once when he was frying hamburgers on the stove. He went to do something in his room, forgot about them, and filled most of the house with burnt burger smoke. HeContinue reading “Does God offer us Fire Insurance or Life Insurance?”
The Next Generation

You Sure You’re in the Faith?
“Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you? – unless indeed you are disqualified”. (II Cor. 13:5) Are you disqualified? Have you done enough, behaved good enough? Many infer that you are to look to your good works and righteousContinue reading “You Sure You’re in the Faith?”
Water is Life!
Recently a friend of mine sent me a devotional. It told of a fellow who worked on a construction crew that built new houses. He connected the water lines to new homes. When they turned on the water, “a once quiet house suddenly seemed alive”. He said, “It amazed me that the house could transformContinue reading “Water is Life!”
Have You Thanked God Today?
When I worked full time, I passed a church sign that read something like this, ‘Have you thanked God today?’ The sign was really convicting and I drove by it often. I don’t know about you, but I complain way too much about things. You can’t be complaining and thankful at the same time. Continue reading “Have You Thanked God Today?”

He’s offering (5) free copies of my book, Assurance of Heaven, to anyone who contacts telling him why they would like the book.Continue reading “Interview – Assurance of Heaven Book”

Often when we read the Bible we come across verses that cause us to fear. It may be that we have listened to someone who wrongly explained the verse. Typically a wrong understanding comes from misunderstanding the context. This month I am going to write about some that have caused me angst in the past.Continue reading “Scary Bible Verses”
