In his book, The Office and Work of the Holy Spirit, James Buchanan has much to say about the work of the Holy Spirit in the conversion of sinners. After dealing at length with the necessity and nature of that work in the first section of the book, he includes a section devoted to what he calls “illustrative cases” or examples from the pages of Scripture of the Holy Spirit bringing various individuals to saving faith in Christ. Among these examples are the Philippian jailer, the Apostle Paul, Cornelius the Centurion, and others. All of these examples are instructive and...

oday C.S. Lewis, the man whose literary works such as The Chonicles of Narnia book series is known as a titan of the Christian faith. When he was alive, Lewis’s deep insights, wisdom, words of comfort, and reason were all sought after, particularly during World War II, when he addressed the people of Great Britain on the BBC, and thereafter. After he passed away in 1963, C.S. Lewis’s writings would continue to bring valuable insight, wisdom, words of comfort, and reason to generations looking for serious answers about God, life experience, the fractured world around us, pain, suffering, and how...

In this day in which society is traveling at EXPONENTIAL speeds, man's EXPONENTIAL advances in technology, abounding resources and abundance for the majority of the common man have advanced EXPONENTIALLY! The majority of Americans today think that they have no need for the ETERNAL things that their Creator offers them in RIGHTEOUSNESS and have deceived themselves into believing that their dead works are sufficient for the redemption of their souls (Rom. 3:23, 6:23, 10:2-4, Eph. 2:8-9, Rev. 3:14-22) Today's EXPERIENTIAL advances have opened wide the door for apostate Christian Americans and the West to gorge themselves on their basest desires,...

These four simple truths from the Bible tell us how to assure we are a Christian and show God’s love through our savior, Jesus Christ! 1) Man sinned; 2) God is just, requiring a punishment for sin; 3) But out of love God sent His Son, Jesus Christ who by dying on the cross, provided forgiveness of sins in taking man’s deserved punishment; 4) Therefore, by faith alone in Christ’s sacrifice for our sins and belief in His resurrection, man can gain eternal life (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 10:9-10, Romans 3:21-26).

All Satan needs to capture people and nations is to get people to turn away from the Lord, which happened worldwide around the beginning of the 20th Century. Satan is smarter than any man and all men put together, but God is more powerful and wiser than Satan. Those people and nations whose God is the Lord are blessed. But those people and nations who trust in man are cursed (Jer 16:5) because they are totally subject to the devil who “weakens the nations” (Is. 14:12). So the road to the End began with first getting the world to reject...

Well, happy New Year to all of you. With a new year, there's not really going to so much be a new focus for the show. But today, I will make the show almost entirely about something very positive, which I rarely get to do, or rarely perhaps choose to do. It's the story of a radical feminist from Brazil who went from shocking and offending as many people as possible to speaking out for the unborn,apologizing to Christians everywhere, and working to describe how damaging modern feminism really is. It's an amazing story and an amazing turnaround that I...

An eight-mile convoy of pickups, motorcycles and cars wound through a central Florida town on Sunday in a show of support for the Confederate flag, as a backlash against its banishment from public landmarks across the South picks up steam. Horns blared and hundreds of the rebel flags fluttered as more than 1,500 vehicles and some 4,500 people turned out for the "Florida Southern Pride Ride" in Ocala, according to police estimates. Vehicles from states across the South and as far away as California participated. "That flag has a lot of different meanings to a lot of different people," said...

I have no idea if I'm doing this right, so I hope somebody can fix whatever I mess up. I am so sorry for not posting sooner, but the last couple of days have been a blur. The surgery on Tuesday didn't actually start until noon even though we signed in at 7:30 am and they took Jeff to the OR around 10:30. We got our final report at 10 pm. By 11:00 pm I was able to go to his room in the ICU. He did very well during the surgery. Coming out of the anesthesia was a little...

The power of prayer has long been controversial, but a new study in a leading psychological journal finds some of the first scientific evidence that it truly works, at least on the person doing the praying. While previous studies have looked largely at the people being prayed for, investigators flipped the research model to examine those who personally engage in the religious practice. They found that even a single prayer for a loved one led to increased self-reported willingness to be forgiving of that person. Though the research leaves open the possibility of divine intervention, investigators don't claim any "miraculous...

I would like to thank all of you for coming back over the last several months to read my story (God’s Story)…My Secret Sin. I didn’t share my story to shock anyone but my intention was to show God’s grace, and how we can trust in His Word.

  RETURN to Landmark Independent Baptist Church Homepage The Churches of the New Testament Were Taught the Doctrine of Unconditional Election by Wayne Camp The matter can be settled only in the light of the word of God. I call on any reader who doubts that these churches were taught the doctrine of unconditional election to reason with me from the inspired book of God, the inspired book written as holy men of God were born along by the Holy Spirit. That is the final authority.  The church at Thessalonica was taught that this election was from the beginning and...
