The “Parts” of Salvation
We’re going to explore the role the Father, Son, Holy Spirit, and Man play in salvation. We’ll use John 3:16 as our text. “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” – John 3:16 THE PART GOD THE FATHER [...]
Faith, What Is It?
Faith is the simplest of all things, and perhaps because of its simplicity it is the more difficult to explain. What is faith? It is made up of three things—knowledge, belief, and trust. KNOWLEDGE… Knowledge comes first. “How shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?” (Romans 10:14). I want to be [...]
Why Are We Saved By Faith?
Why is faith selected as the channel of salvation? No doubt this inquiry is often made. “By grace are ye saved through faith,” is assuredly the doctrine of Holy Scripture, and the ordinance of God; but why is it so? Why is faith selected rather than hope, or love, or patience? FAITH WAS CREATED TO [...]

Made Rich by Faith
“For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.” – Psalm 9:18 Poverty is a hard heritage; but those who trust in the Lord are made rich by faith. They know that they are not forgotten of God, and though it may seem that they are overlooked [...]
Know What’s In It
“Test everything. Hold on to the good.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:21 When we were in Venice we purchased a few curiosities, and finding them burdensome, we thought of sending them home by one of the English vessels lying in the Canal. We went out with our box, and having asked for the captain of one [...]
