The truth of God’s Word teaches us that Christ and Christ alone, is “better than life.” For believers, the thought of life without Christ is unbearable and impossible to conceive. He is our life, our hope, our salvation and we [...]

False Christs and the Movies: “What say ye of the Christ?”
We watch little TV except for an occasional “decent” movie, special broadcast or news presentation or, on occasion, a really excellent PBS special of our favorite artists. This past week it was interesting to see in perusing the channel lineup how many “false christs” and “false gospels” are portrayed, preached and taught on TV. I was [...]

The Lord is My Portion, He is My Helper
THE LORD MY HELPER
Octavius Winslow
“The Lord is my portion, says my soul” That is why we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, so I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” Hebrews 13:6
