An Individual Walk: Dare to be a Daniel
“78. And I want you to notice how Daniel, yet an alien, yet ousted from his people, ousted from his church, without one church service, without any church to go to, without any hymns to be sang but what he sang hisself, in the midst of all this, still held onto what that prophet said.…

A Woman’s Place
In the age of Laodicea where people’s rights reign supreme, the very phrase, “a woman’s place” makes your hair stand on end and fangs start to grow. There is a biblical place for a woman, and it isn’t as president, pastor or on the police force. A woman’s place is as the manager of a…

Why Hell Is Not Eternal
Is there an eternal burning hell where immortal human souls are tormented without end? Anyone that has questioned this thought has been considered a heretic. I we want to go to the Scriptures themselves and see what they are truly telling us. There are two words used to express immortality in the Greek New Testament:…

The Gene of God
When we investigate the subject of the gene of God, a beautiful picture begins to unfold. This revelation is connected to many subjects throughout the Bible: serpent seed; the pre-flood condition of mankind; the post-flood conditions; the Tower of Babel; predestination; the virgin birth; the new birth, etc. Let’s examine a quote from Brother Branham…

Notes on Matthew 28:19
I have recently come across some interesting articles regarding Matthew 28:19. I first noted this in looking at Hasting Bible Dictionary where it says, “It has been customary to trace the institution of the practice [of baptism] to the words of Christ recorded in Mat 28:19. But the authenticity of this passage has been challenged…

Training of Ministers in the Word
The training of ministers is sometimes considered a denominational or seminary approach. However, there is both Scripture and quotes from Brother Branham that speak of the importance of doing this. Let’s go back to the Old Testament and see the teacher and disciple relationship. This is not new in the New Testament under our Lord…

Five-Fold Ministry of Ephesians 4
The five-fold ministry is spoke of in Ephesians 4 and the importance of this ministry is quite clear as you read the verses there. Let’s examine this truth. “8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it…

Nine Spiritual Gifts In the Body
The nine spiritual gifts are spoken of in 1 Corinthians 12. I want to look at these gifts and how they operate in the lives of believers. “7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom;…
