“TRUTH IT SHALL MAKE YOU FREE”

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

Open Door Baptist Church Easter Drama 2010 Note: The following report is from Pastor Jason Murphy. Pastor Murphy and the church membership proved once again that with prayer, hard work, and vision you can get visitors to church and many can be won to Christ. I challenge pastors to ignore those who preach that sinners [...]

INDEPENDENTLY FREE

Monday, April 5th, 2010

By Ken Blue I was born on the Bible belt in northern Arkansas. Our little town could not afford a church or pastor, so we had Sunday school and revival meetings in the one room school house. I managed to get through those early years without getting saved. Our little church belonged to the Southern [...]

SIGNS WITHOUT MEANING

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

Ken Blue Recently I saw a sign in a church, and I ask a lady what I meant. She paused for some time, and then said, “I don’t have a clue.” I find this to be the norm in most churches. When I was sent to Virginia Mason Hospital to determine my disease, I saw [...]

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

If the pastor takes note of the problems, he will find that all complaints are in a few categories. These will be about [...]

ARE THERE PROMISES IN THE JEWISH SCRIPTURES FOR YOU?

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

By Ken Blue Much of the objection to dispensationalism and right division comes from a wrong assumption that there are no promises or blessings in other dispensations for believers in this dispensation of grace. Nothing could be further from the truth. The important issue is that we are able to identify those promises and discern [...]

HANDLING THE BIBLE DECEITFULLY #3

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

When “all” and “every” doesn’t mean “all” and “every.” By Ken Blue The American Heritage Dictionary says a hyperbole is, “A figure of speech in which exaggeration is used for emphasis or effect, as in I could sleep for a year or This book weighs a ton.” All languages use the hyperbole, and the Bible [...]

HOW TO HANDLE THE BIBLE DECEITFULLY #2

Friday, November 20th, 2009

ALL THE PROMISES ARE NOT YOURS By Ken Blue We have often heard the naive believer say, “Every promise in the Book is mine!” However, those dear souls display more zeal than knowledge, when it comes to the Book. If every promise is yours, to whom do the curses belong? We will show some of [...]

HOW TO HANDLE THE BIBLE DECEITFULLY

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009
