Any Church Is Better Than No Church
by Nathaniel Burson (Big Sandy, Texas) “But… you’ve GOT to go to church somewhere!” Everyone in the world, regardless of their religion, knows without question that the one thing most important in life is to go to church. This is the one thing that all religions agree upon; going to church, synagogue, temple, or mosque is the fundamental sign of a believer. Sure, they all disagree on which day, what time, how long, and what to do when you get there… but as long as you GO, the rest doesn’t matter much. Most people don’t even care what church you go to – but you […]
Whose Faith Does The Healing?
(Copyright) by Nathaniel Burson (Big Sandy, Texas) When someone is healed, whose faith is responsible? The person praying, or the person being prayed for? The healer, or the healed? Whose faith is important? And why does James say to seek the elders of the church and be anointed? There IS a simple answer! One that makes sense of ALL of the healings in scripture! Mark 5:25-34 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, When […]
You Are King
(Copyright) by Nathaniel Burson (Big Sandy, Texas) Are you afraid of snakes? Spiders? Sharks? Tornadoes, germs, lightning, thieves, bats? WHY?? Don’t you know that you are in CHARGE of them all? That God GAVE them to you?? Let’s get this straight right now. YOU ARE KING! They are all YOURS, to do with as you see fit! Unless… well, we’ll get to that in a moment. Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of […]
Why Wouldn’t He?
by Nathaniel Burson & James E. Burson (Big Sandy, Texas) YOU LACK FAITH. You know this is true. You may not like accepting it, but it is true. You know full well that you could have more faith than you do – probably a lot. DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY? If the answer is not a resounding yes – a YES, that YOU INTEND TO BACK UP by doing WHATEVER IT TAKES to correct it – then you are reading the wrong article. If you are willing to pay ANY PRICE to have God pleased with you, if you TRULY want to have […]
The Leaven of Righteousness
by Nathaniel Burson (Big Sandy, Texas) Matthew 13:33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. WHY is the Kingdom of God like LEAVEN, of all things? Why use LEAVEN, which appears to represent SIN throughout the Bible, to represent the Kingdom of God? And why are there THREE measures of meal – not twelve or seven or some other number? And why was the leaven HID in them? And how did the WHOLE get leavened? In leading into […]
What was WRONG with the Pharisees?
by Nathaniel Burson (Big Sandy, Texas) What was wrong with the Pharisees? Why did Christ condemn them? Was it for keeping the letter of the law? WHY would He condemn them for doing what HE, HIMSELF said? HE DIDN’T! He never condemned them for the righteous things they did! Matthew 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Notice He said that tithing of mint, anise, and […]
Does God Love All Men Equally?
by Nathaniel Burson (Big Sandy, Texas) The churches in the world today almost UNIVERSALLY believe that God loves ALL MEN equally, showing no favoritism, AFTER ALL, they say, God is not a respecter of persons! What does your BIBLE say – the very words GOD HIMSELF inspired to be written for you? You’ll find that it says that God does NOT love all men Equally! He, Himself said so! Psalms 11:5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul HATETH Yes, the Lord HATES the wicked! He does NOT LOVE HIM the same as a RIGHTEOUS […]
Does God Hate Love?
by Nathaniel Burson (Big Sandy, Texas) Yes! What you have been taught by men today about love is a LIE, and God HATES IT! Understand, God does not hate TRUE, GODLY Love As a matter of fact, He IS love (1 John 4:8) but He hates DEAD Love! Allow me to explain what I mean by this. How to LoveIf you go to church, you are probably told every week to LOVE the brethren. And, more than likely you never hear what that love IS, or how to give it! You are probably told that love is simply showing concern […]
The TRUTH About the Origin of Modern Languages
by Nathaniel Burson (Big Sandy, Texas) One of the most confounding questions to modern scholars is the reason for the sudden explosion of diverse languages upon the earth in the misty dawn of history. Where did language come from? HOW could it have evolved? It’s a known fact that instead of EVOLVING, all languages DEVOLVE, or become simpler, never more complex! This is a great problem for evolutionists and worldly scientists. And yet the answer is before their very eyes? In fact, the answer is in their own lips! There is CONCLUSIVE, demonstrable, SCIENTIFIC evidence that ALL languages today have a […]
Is Calling Someone “Mister” Christian?
by Nathaniel Burson (Big Sandy, Texas) Why does the whole world insist on this custom? Is this the way of showing true respect to an elder? Should YOU use the term “Mr.”? What does your BIBLE say? Christ tells you NOT to be called Master, or Mister. And yet what are we called upon to do, even in the Church of God, dozens, perhaps hundreds, of times a day? Many say, “well, it is just a sign of respect. Children, in particular, should show respect to their elders.” And the Bible FULLY agrees that they should show respect! But HOW does it […]
Do You DARE to Be Bold?
by Nathaniel Burson (Big Sandy, Texas) Do you? Can you truly go BOLDLY before the throne of grace? Without fear? This is a time to be honest with yourself. Aren’t there usually some nagging concerns in the back of your mind when you pray? What if God were here now… in front of you… Would you be nervous? Would you be concerned that he might be mad at you? If so, then you are not ABLE to be BOLD, and you must ask yourself… WHY. You are scared in the presence of God because you KNOW you do not measure […]
Can You Know WHEN?
by Nathaniel Burson (Big Sandy, Texas) Can you unlock the secrets that tell you when the end of the world is coming? Does God have a set date in mind? Will he reveal it to man before the end comes? The Bible tells you, YES! Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. His father KNEW, nearly 2000 years ago, the DAY and even the HOUR of Christ’s second coming! Not even Christ knew this, when he was on earth. But later, after his resurrection, he said […]
