Yes the verse says it all. Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of Christ if...

Church members? I asked how a person can be joined to Christ, “in Christ”, unless the believe? The scripture refers to those who are in Christ, then removed from Christ. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the...

Here the three main facts about what occurs at the coming of the Lord. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with...

Amen. Those who steal from their brother are not loving their brother. Those who commit adultery with their brother’s wife are not loving their brother. He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 1 John 2:4 If a brother...
