Free and warm reception into the divine favor is the strongest of all motives in leading a man to seek conformity to Him who has thus freely forgiven him all trespasses… [But t]he tendency of the present day is to underestimate sin and to misunderstand its nature. From the Cross of Christ men strike out […]

The critics of online apologetics and discernment works such as Apprising Ministries are under the mistaken impression that someone like myself goes “looking for” these issues I’ve been covering these past 5+ years as Jesus has built this ministry of His Gospel.

On the heels of rumors concerning Benny Hinn And Paula White Side By Side, as in a possible romantic affair, Apprising Ministries brings to your attention something Paula White—now billed as Senior Pastor—is calling Super Conference 10.10.10.

Jesus died to save all believers from the wrath of God. This was an overwhelming demonstration of divine favor. God showed His love for those who would believe by sending Christ to die for them: For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for […]

[In his book] Jude is calling us to engage in the war on spiritual terrorism, to engage in a war that is far more important than any war on political terrorists, or military terrorists or any other kind. We are to be vigilant, we are to be alert, we are to be discerning, we are […]

By Jan Markell www.olivetreeviews.org July 28, 2010 There is now a war on words in America. The battle to further censor words, transform words, twist words, and silence words is raging. The Left in leadership is determined to rob Americans of one freedom after another but the greatest loss would be our free speech. As […]
