Building on anything other than God’s foundation will lead to disaster; the fall of the building, and the fall of a life as well (Matthew 7:21-27). The Church as an institution, neither the individual Christian life can survive without being founded and set sure upon the foundation of God. Hear the apostle Paul… “Study to …

Living the Good and Acceptable, Quiet and Peaceable Life
Since we are living in a world where there is much chaos and turmoil; it seems no matter where you turn in society; then, we need to know how to live a quiet and peaceable life in this world. We hear the words of Paul the apostle to the young pastor Timothy… “I exhort therefore, …

To Walk and to Please God
Those of us who follow Christ Jesus have been set apart unto Him that He might be glorified. Being set apart is what is meant by the word “Sanctified” or “Sanctification”. At salvation we are sanctified; but throughout our lives, we are being sanctified unto Him, until we are finally, and completely sanctified eternally. Hear …
The Work of God In Us Worked Out
O how we need to get this straight. Salvation by grace continues to work in us following our regeneration or justification in Christ and God. How the churches today need regenerated people sitting in the pews, in our places of employment, our recreation, working out their salvation with fear and trembling. “Wherefore, my beloved, as …
God’s Debt to Adam’s Race…
The title is catchy, but I fear that is how many people feel; that God owes every person a chance for grace and salvation. Folks, this whole deal of grace is about Him; not us. It is indeed about... …God; not you or me. “But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love …
The Fruit We Bear
“Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not …
Come Out, Be Separate
Yokes are a farming tool from years past where the farmer or wagoneer even would place two animals; for a yoke, it would most generally have been oxen. The cart, wagon, or plow was usually teamed with an equally powered pair of the animals. Consider this as we look at the following passage of Scripture. …
Heirs of the Kingdom of God
“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are …
Neither Will I Count My Life Dear to Myself
“And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might …

The Word Which We Hear
I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth Me no more; but ye see Me: because I live, ye shall live also. At that day ye shall know that I am in My Father, and ye in Me, and I in you. He that …
To Know the Father and the Son
“In that hour Jesus rejoiced in Spirit, and said, I thank Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in Thy sight. All things are delivered to Me of My …
Explanation of All Things
And with many such parables spake He the word unto them, as they were able to hear it. But without a parable spake He not unto them: and when they were alone, He expounded all things to His disciples. Mark 4:33-34 (KJV) It has been said, speaking of the parables of Jesus, that, “A parable …
Today is Thanksgiving Day; As it Should be Everyday
There will be no Bible study today, but for the Shiloah Baptist Church, I want us to remember to whom we give Thanks. The first Pilgrims who came to this land (the Eastern shores of what was to become the United States of America) gathered some of the natives after a particularly hard winter and …

The “Ouch!” of the Sermon
“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one …
In Whom You Delight
Behold, I will send My messenger, and he shall prepare the way before Me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to His temple, even the Messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, He shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. But who may abide the day of His coming? And …
