by Justin Monts Though one at first glance might expect this to be an article better suited for last week’s Valentine’s Day, it actually isn’t even close.  Here I plan to take up a statement used time and again in our religious world.  That statement is simply: “I just know in my heart.” Many well [...]

by David Dann The apostle Peter writes that Christians are to behave in this world “as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God” (1 Pet. 2.16).  While the New Testament employs several different Greek terms which are translated as “liberty” in English versions of the Bible, “liberty” [...]

In two previous articles we discussed false teachings that provide a false hope for salvation, namely, 1) We’re saved by grace alone through faith alone, 2) Some are predestined to be saved, others are not, 3) The sinner’s prayer, and 4) We’re saved by a man, not by a plan (check web site for archives).  [...]
