Who Lights the Fires? - Mini Article Now Available

“A scoffer seeks wisdom and does not find it, But knowledge is easy to him who understands” (Proverbs 14:6). A “scoffer” claims to seek wisdom but contradicts wisdom when presented. Scoffers reject the possibility of wisdom before they open their eyes to it! Therefore, “A scoffer does not love one who corrects him, Nor will he go to the wise” (Proverbs 15:12). Scoffers are destructive deniers. “Scoffers set a city aflame, But wise men turn away wrath” (Proverbs 29:8). They destroy what others may have established through wisdom. Scoffers destroy others’ Bible faith, businesses, families, and civility. “A proud and haughty man -‘Scoffer’ is his name; He acts with arrogant pride” (Proverbs 21:24). The solution? “Cast out the scoffer, and contention will leave; Yes, strife and reproach will cease” (Proverbs 22:10). Scoffers are no good for any society. - July 26, 2021

QA: Who Are Our Enemies?

QUESTION: Who are our enemies? - April 18, 2021

ANSWER: An enemy is everyone who opposes those who trust in God and do things described in Psalm 56:5-6:

1. They twist my words - by changing the meaning of the words after they are used, lawyers can make an innocent conversation sound evil. Politicians & some preachers can make good words become wrong (Jude 4; 2 Peter 3:16)

2. All their thoughts are against me for evil (Psalm 140:1-2) Their intent is revealed; their words may appeal to "unity" or "friendship," but their purpose is for evil. ... Read More of this and other QA in Questions Answered.

Sin's Sly Beginning: Mini Article Now Available

The Devil, as a serpent (Genesis 3:1Revelation 12:9), tempted Eve in three steps: 

1) Doubt - “Has God indeed said, 'You shall not eat of every tree of the garden'?" (Genesis 3:1); 

2) Denial - "You will not surely die” (Genesis 3:4); 

3) Distrust -"For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil" (Genesis 3:5).

The Devil tempts today in the same way. 

1) Bible commentaries, sermons, and so-called “translations” fogs truth, Solomon wrote, “That I may make you know the certainty of the words of truth, That you may answer words of truth” (Proverbs 22:20-21). 

2) Jesus’ truth is denied: "He who believes and is NOT baptized will be saved” (Mark 16:16). 

3) “God is faithful” (2 Corinthians 1:18).
