We must be exceptionally careful in the matter of comparing Scripture with Scripture. The Bible never contradicts itself. We must never base our doctrine upon one statement only; or to put it in another way, our doctrine must never be so formulated as to be in conflict with any other statement of Scripture or to … More Friday Feature Quote – “Why Doctrine Matters” – 12/26/2025
FSMandFSMWO prays your hearts are filled with the joy and peace that only comes from our risen Savior, whose birth we celebrate this Christmas. MacArthur’s quote is especially relevant today.

It is fitting we celebrate His birth and reflect upon how we become Sons (and daughters) … More Study – “Adoption” – 12/22/2025

The following is from my good friend (even though we have yet to meet), Steve. I find it very appropriate for the season. All we (in America at least) have to do is look around to see that the focus for Christmas is that of the wicked (those who know not Christ). There is a … More Devotional – The Ways and Ends of the Wicked – 12/17/2025

PREFACE I seem to be reading a lot about God’s Law. In a previous post, “Death of the Law,” the focus was on those who deny that God’s law is relevant today. Today’s devotional will examine Romans 7:7-12, focusing on the Misuse of God’s Law. There are many ways one can misuse or abuse God’s … More Friday Feature Quote -“Misuse of God’s Law” – 12/12/2025
