Good News of the Gospel

A celestial light lit up the night as a multitude of the heavenly host filled the sky. The angelic choir sounded forth in a symphony of praises to the Almighty God. They proclaimed with boldness and rejoicing: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men” (Luke 2:14).

What an experience it would have been to behold this wondrous, amazing sight two thousand years ago. What caused these messengers of God to come to earth, bearing a message of peace and good will to mankind? It was the birth of Jesus Christ, the son of the living God.Read more

The Glorious Light of the Gospel

“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:  In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake” (2 Cor. 4:3-5).

We live in an age that is blinded not only by the sensual things of the flesh but by the institutions of religion. I would that every person in this world knew and experienced the true peace that is found in Jesus Christ. Any minister or church that preaches ‘themselves’ is a false one. In our own power and ability, we have nothing to offer to save this lost world. We do have the ability to point people to a Savior — not only by our words, but by the light that emanates through us from Christ within.Read more

Bible Study – Truth

Scripture Reading:
John 18:37-38 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.

Definition of Truth: that which is in conformity with the facts or with reality; correctness, accuracy, actuality, genuine, honest; the state of being the case; From the Greek: not concealing.Read more

What Is Truth?

“WHAT IS TRUTH?” Pilate inquired of Jesus at his trial. That question still resonates today as people seek the world over for the answers to life and its problems. Many ministers, churches, and people of all theologies and philosophies have professed to ‘have the truth.’ How is it possible to have so many conflicting ideas and opinions that are all supposed to be correct?

 There is One Truth

The reality is that there exists one ultimate truth, and that is found in Jesus Christ alone. Jesus is the truth. The Word of God became flesh and dwelt amongst us to enlighten, to reveal sin, to demonstrate and teach the reality of holiness and deliverance from sin, and to make possible the reality of soul peace in a relationship with God the Father.

Sincerity

(The following article has been condensed from the writings of the late Bro. Ostis Wilson Jr.)

We often hear it said that it does not matter what people believe if they are sincere in it. Is this so?

No, it is not true, and it is possible for people to be just as sincere in error as to be sincere in truth. God’s Word says, “…God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:” II Thessalonians 2:13. We see here that “belief of the truth” is an essential part of the way and plan God has for us obtaining salvation. II Timothy 4:3-4 says, “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” Some of these people are just as sincere and zealous and devoted to their belief as are people who believe the truth.Read more
