“The preacher who does not mix with people will never make much of a preacher;” at least that has been said or thought by many. One thing needs to be understood by many preachers of the 21st century; if a preacher has been called by God to preach the Word of God, then we just …
I find it very sad that so many have tried to change the definition of Biblical sin. According to God’s Word – the Bible – sin is a transgression of God’s law. Sin is failure to measure up to God’s glory; His requirements of the law. Nowadays, we hear things like, “Sin is whatever keeps …
There are many times there is debate over the meaning of God’s Word. Even Christians, at times, debate over whether something is “Literal” or “Figurative” or allegorical.

"The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, ‘There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the king's matter: therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean.

"Afterward He brought me to the gate, the gate that looketh toward the east: and, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and His voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with His glory. And it was according to the appearance of the vision …
