The Death Penalty

Some years ago the United States Supreme Court struck down the death penalty as unconstitutional. Many arguments by many people were used by the opponents and proponents for the death penalty. Those who argued for it did so using moral and Biblical points to support this position. The opponents used human reasoning, part of which was the claim that capital punishment is cruel and inhuman treatment, and that no offense warranted it. Since that time, states wishing to reinstate the death penalty have had an uphill battle. In some states the death penalty is again law, but only for certain…

The Cross

IN ancient times one of the most horrible methods of execution known to man was crucifixion on a cross. Victims were known to endure the agony of the cross for hours and in some cases, days, before dying. To die on a cross was a shame, for the Bible says, “…: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.” (Gal. 3:13b) ALL crosses were instruments of death, but not all were the same. Of all the crosses, history records that one was destined to be different. Perhaps the carpenter who made it did not realize that this…

The Appointment

Have you ever had an appointment for something? Sure you have! All of us at one time or another has had an appointment; we may have made the appointment our self or another person made it for us. THE APPOINTMENT! It may have been for a job interview, medical reason, family reunion, business meeting, social engagement, a court ordered date, etc. Some appointments we look forward to, such as a date, family reunion, or retirement, but then there are other appointments we dread and at times try to avoid. THE APPOINTMENT is made, but then for whatever reason it may…

Thank You Gospel Tract

When people go out to eat they usually leave a tip on the table for the man or woman who waited on them. PFBP has a tract designed for this purpose, only this tract may be a little different than others like it. This “Thank You” tract is designed for using a second tract with it. The tract that I use is the PFBP tract “God’s Plan For Salvation”. The tract is a standard 4-page tract (folded once) and it gives a clear plan of God’s salvation. The tip that is left for the server is placed inside the Gospel…

Tell It To The Judge

Laws, laws, and more laws! Everywhere we turn there are laws governing one thing or another. Granted, some laws seem pointless, but most are good and they serve a useful purpose. Take for example a traffic light. These exist for the orderly flow of traffic, but not everyone wants to obey them. People, for whatever reason, run red lights and when the police catch them, they have an excuse for why they ran the red light. But the policeman doing his job just replies, “Tell it to the judge.” Or the person caught exceeding the speed limit, “But officer, I was …”…

Stop, Look & Listen

STOP … just for a moment to consider your eternal destiny. Man will not live forever, for God’s Word, the Bible, tells us that “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die…” (Ec. 3:1,2a). Every human ever created will spend eternity in one of two places – Heaven or Hell. Speaking of those who repent of sin and by faith alone in the shed blood of Jesus Christ receive Him as personal Saviour, the Bible says “…to be absent from the body, and to…

Scriptural Baptism

The word “baptize” comes from the Greek word “bapto” which means “to whelm, i.e. cover wholly with a fluid.”  Baptism properly defined means to be completely submerged, as in being totally covered. In Christianity when we say that a person has been “baptized”, we are saying that, that person has been completely immersed in water. We call this a “believer’s baptism.” Such baptism may have taken place in a church baptistry, a lake, pond, river, or a swimming pool, but it was ALWAYS a complete immersion. A complete immersion is the only type taught in the Word of God, thus…

Romans Road

The Romans Road is an old road; construction on it was begun about six thousand years ago. Approximately two thousand years ago it was completed. Yes, the Romans Road is an old road, and it’s a famous one, too. Since construction on this road began, people from all walks of life have been traveling it. No, not everyone has traveled the whole length of it. Some of those who began the trip died on the way (accidents, war, suicide, illnesses, etc.), others were enticed to use another road, and still others didn’t care about the trip. However, there have been…

Real Peace In A Troubled World

The Berlin wall has come down, and the Communist barbed wire and guard posts are gone. We are told that Communism is dead, and that those countries and people once under Communist rule are now free. We’re told that the world is at peace, so they say. The truth of the matter is that the world is NOT at peace. In 1994 American armed forces were sent to Haiti. In Rwanda Hutu and Tutu slaughtered each other. In Bosnia the country is destroyed by ethnic fighting. Iraq rattles its war sabers while Israelis are being shot at by their foes…
