The Purpose of the Christian Life

Now once again, why if people are already saved when they accept Christ, why doesn't God take the new converts then immediately to heaven, if heaven is the reward? And by the way, have you ever seen any real proof in your Bible, any real promise that you can ever go to heaven? You'd better start ...

The Righteous Shall Inherit... What?

In the Christian religion it has been tradition for centuries that the saved, when they die, go to heaven. That is the tradition. Where are your loved ones now? Are they in heaven; and how do you know? What does God say about it; what did Jesus Christ say; what does the Bible say? ...

The Sermon on the Mount

Since society is founded on lies, what are our chances for world peace in your time and mine? Since society is founded not on ideals but on the nature of man, what are our chances for world peace in the next few years? What are the chances of escaping nuclear annihilation as a result of the present ...

The Seven Churches of God - Pergamos

Well, it's certainly shocking to discover now that there is no Bible authority for these firmly established customs. That most of us certainly have supposed were Christian customs established. Yes, my friends. It's shocking to discover that the Christianity that we have grown up accepting is not ...

The Seventh Day

You've heard about a Battle of Armageddon. You've heard about the Second Coming of Christ. You've heard about the world coming to an end. Well is there anything to it? Anything to all of these things that we hear about? They come from Biblical prophecy. Are these prophesied events real? They+* ...

The Soul That Sinneth Shall...?

Well greetings everybody! I wonder did you ever stop to think — why do people believe what they believe? Different religions believe whatever their religion is. The people in Thailand, practically all of them, believe in Buddhism. Now why do they all believe in Buddhism? Why is it nearly all Arabs b ...

The Story of Adam

Tomorrow's world will be a world of plenty, a world of increased brotherly love. In fact, infinitely richer and better than any world that ever existed. Exclaimed the science editor of a well-known New York magazine. And you know, he's right, he's absolutely right. But you know, the way in whi ...

The Ten Commandments

1. You shall have no other gods before me. 2. You shall not make for yourself a carved image. 3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. 4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 5. Honor your father and your mother. 6. You shall not murder. 7. You shall not commit adultery. 8. ...

The Ten Tribes of Israel

And now, once again, my friends, there is no greater surprise than to open your Bible and see what it does say, because it doesn't say what most people think in this time, this day, and age. It says just the opposite. No wonder people don't understand it. People try to interpret it; they try to ...

The True Church Does God's Will

Now, once again, my friends, what is the difference between the Church, the True Church, that Jesus Christ said He would build, and that He did build - the Church that He said the gates of hell shall not prevail against - and all the other churches, denominations, sects, organizations and cults and ...

The Two Covenants

Now, let's continue where we were. I was speaking yesterday about the fact it is good news. We are going to have a world of peace at last. Yes, my friends, the world today is a very unhappy world. It's filled with suffering, it's filled with unhappiness. It's filled with agony, it's filled ...

The Two Covenants - Part 1

Yes, it's good news. But why, my friend, should it be news in this mid-20th century? 1900 long years after Jesus Christ first proclaimed it. Why has the true gospel of Jesus Christ been hidden from the world, buried under popularized pagan traditions and superstitions until now? Christ preached th ...

The Two Covenants - Part 2

Once again, how, when did our Western World get away from, totally lose sight of, the very gospel which God sent to this world by Jesus Christ? Why haven't you heard the true original gospel of Christ before? We've been supposing in our day and generation that a gospel of men about Christ was th ...

The Two Trees - Part 1

...If they had such universities in that day as we have today... Today, one goes to school and finally to the university to get an education. It's like going into a grocery store to buy a loaf of bread. You go into the store, you ask for the loaf of bread, the clerk gives you the loaf, you pay you ...

The Two Trees - Part 2

A staggering turn of events is going to erupt all over this world in the very next few years. And you had better heed what I say. It will involve the Philippines, but even more violently, it will involve the Middle East and Europe and the United States. Already, it is rather late for the world to co ...
