Conjoined or Siamese twins often face death unless doctors can find a way to separate them. In contrast, believers would face eternal death if the devil could find a way to separate us from the Lord, but the love of Christ is so deep that nothing can ever separate us from Him when we are joined to H

A president, king, or CEO will often choose his most qualified, trusted and capable associate to serve as his right hand man. Jesus is now at the right hand of God the Father interceding for His people. Christ is the only one qualified, trustworthy and capable to be his Father's right hand man. Do y

At the end of A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, a prisoner awaits his execution. In order to save him, a friend switches identities with the condemned man, and give his own life in his place. We all stand guilty before God, and under the sentence of eternal condemnation. But if you trust in J

England, France, and the rest of Europe breathed a sigh of relief when Germany was finally defeated in World War 1. But peace and security were only temporary as these same nations were terrorized by Nazi Germany just a few years later. Believers face constant spiritual onslaught from the world, the

When we make a mistake, or fail at some task, we often remark "Oh well, nobody's perfect". This familiar saying is absolutely true with one noteable exception; we all fall short of the glory of God, and even our best works are tainted by sin and imperfection. Listen as Dr. Barnhouse shares how Jesu

When did Christianity begin? Most people would probably say that Christianity began with the birth of Jesus Christ. But in Chapter 10 of Romans, the apostle Paul sets forth an astonishing truth: that the gospel had been known for hundreds of years before Christ. Today, hundreds of years after Christ

Jesus said, "He who is not with me is against me." But sometimes our faith may grow weak in the face of suffering and hardship, and we may wonder if God is really with us or against us. No matter what you face in life, you can rest with a quiet confidence in Jesus Christ and cling to the glorious de

If a contestant on a game show answers a question incorrectly, the worst that can happen is losing a chance to win a prize. But in our study of the Book of Romans, we come to a question so important that it effects the eternal destiny of every person. Having set forth the foundational doctrines of t

A baseball player on first base wants to score a run, but he may not make it. He could be caught stealing or the next batter could make the third out, or he could be tagged out before reaching home plate. But God has determined that everyone of His children will make it home. He has purposed that al

A weak link can break the chain that holds a ship to its anchor, and the ship would be swept out to sea. God has taken the likes of foreknowledge, predestination, calling, justification and glorification and forged a golden chain that secures our eternal salvation. But many Christians weaken God's g

If you see a commercial encouraging you to join the Army, you are free to ignore it and turn the channel. But if you received a draft notice, you would be compelled to enlist. Many people hear the general call of the gospel and ignore it because they are spiritually dead and dead in their sins. But

The human ear has three tiny bells called the hammer, the anvil, and the stirrup. Each of them must function together in order for you to hear. Three essential spiritual elements must work in conjunction in order for you to be saved: faith, the Word of God, and the Holy Spirit. How do these work tog

The hands of the master artist Michelangelo formed a shapeless block of marble into David, perhaps the most famous sculpture in the world. You may feel that your life has no purpose or direction, but if you come to God through faith in Jesus Christ, He'll gradually form you into the image of His bel

Many preachers and Bible teachers have defined God's foreknowledge as simply his ability to know all things in advance before they happen. They may say God looked down the corridor of time to see who would respond in faith to the gospel, and predestined them to salvation on that basis. But is this a
