OSAS : The Origin
Reader, 1.) Within Christianity, there is Truth, and there is what isn't. Both exist in Christianity as Light and Darkness. For example a believer born again, can be "fallen from Grace". Now...Regarding church doctrine and The Gospel, there is what Paul teaches and then there is everything else that must line up with it, for it to be "perfect". So, in both cases, the "other stuff", that does not line up with Paul's Doctrine, is not the Truth, and generally comes from the Fath
Need New Internet Filter
Not sure this is the right place to put this, but it seemed the best to me. I just found out that CleanInter is going out of business soon but they don't have a definite date. I have been using them for years. Does anyone have any recommendations what I can use to replace them? Thanks in advance.

The Word Easter (A Christian Etymology and Origin)
Easter in Acts 12:4 is the only mention of this word in our King James Bible. While the context and historical Christian tradition clearly shows this word to be reference to the celebration of Christ's resurrection on the Sunday Morning just after the Passover week, many have attempted to paganize or confuse this reference for various reasons. In this lesson we strongly refute those errant ideas and show the clear Christian etymology and origin of the word and why we still gladly use this wonder

Mary Meets Her Risen Lord (Easter Sunday - John 20) Pastor John Young Maranatha Bible Baptist ChurchAre You Righteous or Wicked? (Getting in balance with God, Proverbs 11:4-11)
When God balances the world on his scales of justice where will you be found? Will you be found without fault, or will you be found wanting? Will you be rewarded with the righteous or punished with the wicked? In this sermon we deal with these crucial questions and show how imperfect people such as us can not only be fond righteous but also thrive in holiness before God. We also show how we can influence our world for Good and have eternal benefits in the life to come rather than merely survivin
My Poetry Books
I have been wanting to put my poetry books together as ebooks or PDFs for a while now, but the methods I used before had their quirks - weird links and info on the sides or top and bottom of the books, and the format was often broken up when converted to PDF by someone's browser or ereader. Recently, I came across this website (printfriendly.com) that easily converts your documents or files to PDFs - basically just drag and drop, then rename the file as you'd like. One of the things I wa
Just Weights and Measures (In balance with God, Proverbs 11:1-3)
Equilibrium with God and His ways in life and nature is crucial for lasting success. In this message we look at the importance of just weights and measures in everyday life and also the active involvement God has in approving and rejecting false balances in life. We also see the principle of true balance goes beyond the marketplace and is also part of a proper social and moral life with society and society's relationship with God. We see God requires that mankind must maintain a righteous and ju
Faithfulness Determines Your Yield (Proverbs 10:24-32)
Knowing we will reap what we sow, Solomon encourages us to diligently and faithfully sow things that will last into eternity rather than wasting time on things that will not last. He also cautions us to sow wholeheartedly in the prescribed way so that we can get the full reward of our labors. In this passage he contrasts those who sow correctly with those who sow in the wrong ways. He shows us that if we are faithful to the ways of God we will have joy and strength for the work and enjoy many ye
God's Method of Seed Management (Proverbs 10:14-23)
A good farmer will have a threefold sure method of receiving, storing and sowing seed in order to maximize the growth of a cash crop every year. It is not a mystical or misterios process. So too it is with God's seed (the Word of God) being planted year after year to bring forth a large and Godly crop for years to come. For the local church to survive and grow year after year, it must follow God's plan for managing his good Seed, which includes proper: Receiving and Selecting, Storing and Mainta
