Putting Things in Their Rightful Place

When reading The Holy Bible, We must know that while all Scripture is written for us, not all is written to us. Genesis, chapters 1-11 is written to the human race. Genesis 12 through the Gospel of John is written to Israel. Acts is a transitional, going from Israel to the church in Acts, chapters 1-8. Acts 9-the book of Philemon, written to the Church. Hebrews and James, written to Israel. I Peter through Jude, written to Church. Revelation 1-4;2 deals with church Revelation 4;3-end of chapter 18 deals with Israel. Revelation 19-22-deals with Church. Paul W. Foltz

A CLARIFICATION IN ELECTION

One must keep in mind, that there are two, distinct, groups of people elected by God. there is those of elect Israel, God's earthly elect people, who will inherit the new earth. And there is The Church, God's elect heavenly people, who will be with Christ, throughout Eternity. both are chosen by the Father. The nation Israel for Jehovah's wife, and the Church, as the Lamb's wife. Though both are elected, their destinies are entirely different.

Doctrines of Grace, An Encouragement to Evangelize

One of the charges leveled against those who hold to The Doctrines of Grace is that they use it, as an excuse not to witness nor to evangelize the lost. This is not so.

grits and grace

As A Southerner I enjoy grits with almost everything. It is a staple for me. Likewise God's Free Sovereign Grave is my only hope for the Future. How sad it is , that most Baptists, today, do not know that the Baptist originally stood for the Doctrines of Grace. They are older than John Calvin. They are found on the pages of God's Holy Word. MENhate them for it strips them of all the glory, and lays them bare, before God as wretched, ruined creatures, deserving judgment and hell. Paul Foltz

Jehovah-Tsidkenu

When free grace awoke me, with light from on High, Then legal fears shook me, I trembled to die. No safety, no refuge in self could I see, Jehovah Tsidkenu, my Savior must be. My guilty fears vanished, before that great Name To the throne of grace, with boldness I came. He is my everything, He died for me Jehovah-Tsidkenu, My Savior is He

Where is The Silent Moral Majority/

With the passings of Dr. Jerry Falwell and Dr. D. James Kennedy last year, there is seeming an lack of offense against the ACLU'S agenda of pushing homosexual behavior on our children in the Public School system. Where are the stalwarts, ho will rise up and speak against the moral impurity that is threading its way throughout our nation/ It is time for concerned citizens to rise up and fight the ACLU and all the proponents of Humanism, and Evolution, and one worldlism, and defend our democratic Replubic.

What is Death

Death for those in Christ simply means going home. Death for those out of Christ means hell, then the lake of fire, forever.

WHAT IS FREE GRACE/

FREE GRACE IS GOD'S PROVISION FOR FALLEN MEN, WHO ARE SO WEAK THAT THEY CANNOT LIFT THE AXE OF DIVINE JUSTICE, SO CORRUPT, THAT THEY CANNOT CHANGE THEIR NATURES, SO ADVERSE TO GOD THAT THEY CANNOT TURN TO HIM, AND SO SPIRITUALLY DEAD, THAT GOD MUST OPEN THEIR SPIRITUAL GRAVES, RESURRECT THEM, AND GIVE THEM LIFE. THIS GOD DOES, FOR ALL, THAT CHRIST DIED FOR. SALVATION IS ALL OF GRACE, AND ALL OF GOD.
