In all of Christendom, there’s no subject debated more than whether a person is saved by grace or works. Salvation is either through God’s grace or man’s efforts. One camp believes that a person is saved solely by trusting that the Lord Jesus paid the full penalty for their sins. The other camp believes…
Before we consider Noah’s Folly and the penalty for sin, I would like to remind you of Fulton’s Folly. Robert Fulton was born in Lancaster County, PA in 1765. He grew up to be an artist, designer, inventor, and entrepreneur. He is famous for designing and building a 150 f00t steamboat in 1807, which would…
The human race and the animal kingdom were created with a survival instinct, sometimes referred to as self-preservation. Nothing is more fearful than death. The Bible speaks about two different deaths. Every human being is subject to the first death. However, not everyone is subject to the second death. So dreadful is the thought of dying…

In Chapter 3 of the book of Romans, the apostle Paul quotes Psalm 14: “There is none righteous, not even one; there is none who understands, there is none who seeks for God; all have turned aside, together they have become useless; there is none who does good, there is not even one.” Generally speaking,…

The passing of time usually reveals the wisdom or foolishness of our choices. Every person makes a vast number of choices every day….
In my previous blog, I highlighted two words from John 3:16 (He Gave), referring to the Gift of salvation by God for the whole world. This Gift was His beloved Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, who went to the cross of Calvary to pay the penalty for our sins. In this blog Apostolic Doctrine, I…
