Referring to misguided religious people trying to earn their way to heaven, John MacArthur says, “They think God is less righteous than He is and they think they are more righteous than they are.” What a statement! It fits perfectly with the misguided religious people I’ve encountered of which there have been literally hundreds in nearly thirty-two years since becoming a …

Righteousness-conscious Christians
The Anglican Bishop of a major rural city here is the latest to date, publicly declaring support for same-sex marriage. There’s nothing surprising about that of course, but for any Bible Christians wondering how such a decision can be made based on what the Bible says about marriage, this is how it’s done. The Bishop’s quote: “The …
Limit Yourself to the Bible
The Protestant Bible theologian asked the Roman Catholic priest, “Do you feel that a person can go to heaven apart from a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ?” The priest replied, “Definitely.” Handing him a Roman Catholic translation of the Bible, the theologian then asked the priest to cite a book or a chapter or …
Mockers Attacking the Bible
For an experiment, some young people in Europe purchased a Bible, disguised it with a dust jacket from the Koran. Next they highlighted verses from both Testaments that contrast with current Western norms and values. They read those verses to both young and old people at random on the street and asked for their opinion. The people …
It’s Your Badge of Honor
“You’re too black and white; you leave no room for grey areas.” How many Christians have had an accusation similar to that thrown at them for their uncompromising stand for the Scriptures of the Bible?! All praise to God if you have. It’s your badge of honor; wear it proudly! As it is presently, you are one …
A Scoffer is a Mocker and a Mocker is a Scoffer
“Prove to me the existence of God,” says the mocking scoffer. “Prove to me the Bible is the Word of God,” says the scoffing mocker. My response: “You are the proof!” Will such a response give witness to them that this is so. No, most probably not. But for any new Christian reading this post, it will …

Satan’s Insiders – No Match for Jesus’ Insiders
The preacher told his church that he no longer believed in the biblical account of Noah and the Flood. What’s the big deal? one might ask, given that multitudes of preachers have been saying the same thing since the 1700’s or earlier. The big deal for me was his statement: “It seems even Jesus believed it.” The church is …

Only one Book
“There are lots of books that can change your thinking; there is only one Book that can change your nature – and your eternal destiny.” – John MacArthur. Praise God for books that can change one’s thinking! Were it not for such books I don’t know where I would be today, mentally and physically. Prior to …
Blasphemers of Truth
Said one famous preacher to another famous preacher, “I can say I believe the Bible and make those words mean anything I want them to mean.” True story! How’s that for arrogance! At the time that statement was made both men had churches with large and growing memberships. Thirty-odd years later the man who made the boast lost his …
Expressing Contempt for the Bible
A transgender member of the Church of England, who was born and baptized female but now identifying as male, approached the local Reverend seeking to be re-baptized. If the report is true, the Reverend thought it a good idea and acted on it. “We created a service, which was an affirmation of baptismal vows where we could …
