Fueled by earnest prayer and the support of believers willing to take time off from work, the New Hampshire Avenue Gospel Chapel (Silver Spring, MD) started a Good News Club (GNC) with 5 children from our Assembly. Our goal was “to go”1 teach the Gospel to children in a neighborhood school. We had 20 children […]
“For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So, then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.” Romans 14:10-12 Believers will not face the judgment […]
Money can be restored. Property can be restored—broken-down cars, stripped painting, old houses. Relationships can all be restored. But the one thing that can never be restored is time. Time flies by and it does not return. Years pass and we never get them back. Yet God promises the impossible: “I will restore the years […]
In this chapter, Paul defends the doctrine of resurrection, describing in verses 13-19 the consequences of no resurrection. If Christ is not risen then our preaching is meaningless (v. 14), the believer’s faith is futile (v. 17), they are still in their sins (v. 17), the dead in Christ have perished (v. 18) and all […]

After Israel’s return to the land following their Babylonian captivity, enthusiasm reigned supreme as plans moved forward to rebuild the temple which had been destroyed 70 years before. The prophet Jeremiah had accurately prophesied of these events (Jer. 25:11-12), but his words went unheeded, and the nation reaped the sad results. Now, decades later, they […]
To say that the woman’s role in the church is a controversial subject would be an understatement! Sadly, the subject in the local church is increasingly being challenged today. Many churches have divided over this issue, resulting in many hurts and families leaving their meetings. The pressures of society, genderism, feminism, and equal rights have […]
David begins Psalm 139 marveling about God’s knowledge: “O Lord, You have searched me and known me.” We conduct a search to find something that is lost or to obtain information about something of which we want to know more. But that doesn’t apply here. It is not that at some moment God chose to […]
When young I was active in my local synagogue where I had my Bar Mitzvah and was in the youth group. Later in college, I was treasurer of the Hillel Jewish group, but functionally an atheist. I drank heavily and engaged in improper relationships with women but justified this by lowering my standards. I enjoyed […]
North Atlanta Bible Chapel (NABC) was established in the 1940’s as a home church. In the early 1950’s the assembly erected a building and for many years they ministered in the North Druid Hills neighborhood of North Atlanta, GA. In the early 2000’s, the neighborhood transitioned to a more upscale population and little growth was […]
The wonderful effect of God’s grace is that a sinner can cry out to God for salvation and receive forgiveness of sins. But in salvation, God does more than just forgive. He saves people from their sins and begins the process of changing us from a sinner having a desire to sin to a saint […]

Having been exiled for seventy years from their homeland, they were now coming back to the place where they had once flourished as a nation. Led by Zerubbabel, the nation made the long journey across the waste, barren wilderness, prompted […]
Introduction The teaching of a pre-tribulation rapture has been taking quite a beating over the past couple decades. It comes from teachers that have abandoned ship and embraced the popular view which insists that the Church will go through the Tribulation. I, however, am not among this number. This is not because you cannot teach […]
The apostle Paul in his epistle to the Ephesians gives a true picture of the world we live in when he says, it is without God, without Christ, and without hope. The Lord Jesus in Matthew 24 gives some answers to the question asked by His disciples, “what will be the sign of your coming […]
