Galatians 1:6: “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel.” Leave a comment
Some judgemental denominational members are quick to say that other denominations are preaching “another Gospel”. But Jesus Christ IS the Gospel! If someone else professes Christ as Lord of their life you should lift them up in brotherly love REGARDLESS of their “denomination”. As a Christian you should consider anyone who belongs to Jesus Christ [...]
Gal 1:8-9: But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you have received, he is to be accursed! Leave a comment
Albert Mohler (President of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) writes: “In our own context, one of the most seductive false gospels is moralism.

I’ve known some people who have gone through some hurts and pains, and not knowing anyone to turn to, attempted to find a biblical counselor…..only to find they could not afford it. There is nothing in the Bible anywhere to suggest that a bill [...]
1 Pet 1:23 – 25: having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever, because All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, And its flower falls away, But the word of the LORD endures forever. Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.” Leave a comment
We are so temporal in this existence. Here today and then gone from this earth. In the grand concept of “time,” we are but like the grass. The Word of God, which we heard, produced our faith in the first place. This Word of God will also preserve us and keep us in the faith. [...]
