The wrestlers of old strove to obtain a perishable crown, and should we not strive to win the crown that fadeth not away? Every art and device of Satan will be used to accomplish our ruin. If you sit down with the ease-loving ones, with the words on your lips, "I am saved," and disregard the commandments of God, you will be eternally lost. There is truth in Jesus that is terrible to the ease-loving, do-nothing ones. There is truth in Jesus that is full of soothing joy to the obedient. This is no time to be indifferent and careless and pleasure-loving. Christ is coming with power and great glory. Are you ready? Are you putting away your sins? Are you becoming sanctified through the truth in answer to the prayer of Christ? He prayed concerning his disciples, "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth."

Periodically the term New World Order comes and goes in the mouths of politicians. This article exposes the New World Order as the old plan of Satan to rule the world by confusion, oppression, and disobedience to God. The central roles of the USA and the Papacy in attempting to carry this out at the time of the end were illuminated by Bible prophecy 2000 years ago. Those warnings help us to realize that overcoming by faith in Christ is needed to meet the challenges of today. All of the basics necessary for a victorious life, right worship, and finding safety in the impending disasters in the world are found in this one article.

The Protestant Reformation exposed the Papacy as the Beast of Revelation. This historicist reading grew and blossomed in the 18th century, and then with the fall of the Papacy in 1798 became quickly forgotten. Now a daring view of Revelation 17 traces each phase of the Papacy after 1798, through the Roman question to the Lateran Treaty of 1929 when the Papacy was restored as a kingdom, to the incredible prophecy of the final pope. The pope to follow Benedict will not be a human being at all, but a demon impersonating John Paul II, claiming to have resurrected from the dead. In this consistent application of the Protestant principles of Bible understanding, this article reveals the demonic role of organized religion in seducing people away from obedience to God and the faith of Jesus in the last great apostasy. Finally, the article tells what you personally can do about this startling, impending event.

The Bible is the only rule of faith and practice. It is unique as the best preserved by far of any ancient text handed down to the present day, and as the only text that claims to contain the direct and public revelation of God in the Ten Commandments. It is more accessible by far than any other classical religious book, being translated into far more languages and distributed more widely than any other. It can be understood my any literate person who approaches it systematically and rationally. It is validated by archeology, history, and the fulfillment of its prophecies. It remains objectively the best alternative by far among religious works.

The Sabbath is a vital, watershed subject dividing Christians today. We believe it will become even more controversial in the future. Therefore, it is wise to examine what the Bible says about this subject. This article attempts briefly to examine all of the references in the Bible to the weekly Sabbath using the word Sabbath. The examination takes two perspectives. The first is to harmonize the Bible in regard to the Sabbath, and remove any points of conflict between the texts that may arise in the reader's mind. The second is to respond to the most common arguments used against the observance of the Bible Sabbath.

Controversy about posting the ten commandments on public buildings as violently divided public opinion in the United States. This article looks at how the ten commandments have appeared in history and what their role has been. It also takes a look at what the Bible says about the ten commandments, what they are, and what they should mean to us. It finally shows that they have not disappeared with the Old Covenant, but are the very words that God writes on the human heart under the New Covenant.

House churches are very popular today for many reasons. But are they merely a part of the confusion of Babylon? The original form of divine worship was instituted in Eden as a home church. The basic form of worship, walking with God, is upheld through all of the divinely established firms: the judges, kings, and Gospel church, which was primarily a home institution in apostolic times. The Gospel gives fifteen specific principles for establishing and maintaining a valid church. The epistles give eight specific spiritual gifts to benefit the church. We are still faced today with the same challenges that required the offices of deacon and elder in the apostolic church. This simple, yet effective, system was firmly established by commandment-keeping Adventists as early as 1844 and remains the true church of God today. No new organization can be expected.

The Protestant Reformation was sparked by the shock of seeing the corruption of the Roman Catholic priesthood in the beginning of the sixteenth century. In recent years there has been overwhelming evidence that priesthood has only become more corrupt since then, as pedophiles take the place of merely greedy younger sons of the gentry. While the world may believe that the church of the Inquisition has changed, their own behavior shows the change, if any, has been for the worse. Now, more than ever, the doctrine of righteousness as the act and gift of God by faith in the atoning intercession of Christ our high priest in the heavenly sanctuary is the crying need of the world. The kingship of Christ is a neglected issue, and this results in people not realizing that righteousness by faith is the product of Christ's inheritance as the Messiah.

Most of the world is caught up in two false doctrines. The one denies that obedience has any role to play in our salvation. The other claims that we can save ourselves by our own efforts in well-doing. The importance of obedience to salvation is best described in the epistle of Paul to the Romans, who speaks of obedience in five passages: obedience of faith as the call of Christ, the obedience of Christ reckoned to the believer, the love of Christ giving the believer power to obey, the spirit of obedience bringing unity to believers, and the obedience of faith as the power of God to establish believers in the gospel.

More than at any period in Christian history people are deceived about the second coming of Christ and the Millennium. The Bible gives clear information on the manner of Christ's coming, the nature and timing of the Millennium, and precisely how to escape the coming death and destruction.

Spiritualism has taken over the world by storm. Few believe in material reality today, and vast crowds are following occult practices based on the illusion that the human soul is naturally immortal and the dead see and communicate with the living. Does this matter? Is it merely a fascinating game, a comfort for loss, or is there a fatal surprise around the corner? This article answers those questions, and give a firm basis for real hope.
