The Basic Truths Of Life
As I was writing the message, The Falling Away, I began to think of the issues that everyone that ever walked on this planet must come to terms with in this life.
These will be the basic truths that no one can argue with, if they are sane. Of course, if you believe what God says in His Own BOOK about you, then you will have no problem with accepting these basic truths.
I. The Brevity Of Life
"For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away." (James 4:14b)
Our life is brief! like a vapor, or like a smoke. "Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling?" (Job 7:1)
He is born, and then he will die!
This is certain!
(The exception being Enoch and Elijah, and also, those
believers in Jesus Christ who are alive when He comes for His
Church.)
II. The Brevity Of Your Remembrance
You will soon be forgotten. A man is remembered only a little while, and then he is forgotten.
"He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him anymore. Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little, Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death; A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness." (Job 7:10 & 10:20-22).
III. The Sureness Of Trouble
Life is bale full of troubles.
I have also found this very true!!!
"Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not." (Job 14:1).
IV. The Verity Of The White Throne Judgment
"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27).
You will not miss this one unless YOU ARE HID in the CLEFT OF THE ROCK!
V. The Eternality And The Finality Of What You Do With Jesus Christ:
We will all be held accountable over this issue. It is a hard fact of life, my friend.
Now will you give God's offer of eternal life ... purchased by His Son ... for all those who will put their trust in Him ... a thumbs down?
You will everlastingly suffer the consequences!
VI. That Men Never Learn From History
We learn from History That Men Never Learn From History!
It is a heart problem!
Men refuse to learn the "lessons" afforded by the light of HISTORY: the recorded historical events which occurred as fulfillment of Bible prophecy.
Now, these are the basic truths with which we all must deal with one way or another!

The Separate Baptists took their origin in Connecticut. Valentine Wightman was a grandson of Edward Wightman, the last man burned at the stake in England in 1612. Valentine Wightman was born in 1681 and raised in Rhode Island. He was saved and became a member of the North Kingstown Baptist Church. In 1705 he moved to Groton Connecticut and founded the first Baptist church in that state. Read more?
The Anvil-1611-God's Word The King James Bible Is Inspired
May we call the KJB inspired, or merely the best translation of the inspired originals and copies of them? Is it truly scripture as we read in II Timothy 3:16 or not? Read more?
Why The English Of The King James Bible Is Better Than That Of All The Modern Versions
First, the KJB is precise in the use of the old pronouns in the second person, and that is necessary for a literal and accurate translation. Modern translations can never match it. Read more?
Inspiration: Temporal or Eternal?
I believe that inspiration is not a process but an entity, an eternal entity, a fact or deed. If the KJV translators had believed it was a process they would have translated II Timothy 3:16 “pasa graphe theopneustos” as “All scripture is God breathed.” Read more?

The ideal Biblical pattern for marriage is set in Genesis 1-2. Though the
stepparent stepchild relationship is less than the ideal, it is modeled in
the Bible. Giving examples from the lives of Esther, Joash and Timothy, it
shows a godly stepparent as filling a gap in a child’s life, and playing the
part of a kinsman. This is a picture, or type, of Christ coming to redeem
his people. Read more?
