Black American Conservatives
Sept. 11, 2025
Following are 104 examples of outspoken black American political conservatives. Their number is increasing. When we say “conservatives,” we do not necessarily mean Rush Limbaugh conservatives or some other popular brand. We simply mean that they do not accept the “government should do everything for us” philosophy and they reject the Joe Biden “if you don’t vote Democrat, you ain’t black” thinking.
We don’t publish this list because we agree 100% withthese men and women. Most of them are not Bible-believing Christians and do not share our biblical worldview. We publish this list because the mainstream media, the entertainment industry, and leftists.. see full report

If Peter and John were to appear on an evangelical seminary campus today, they would be considered “unlearned and ignorant men” (Acts 4:13).

Daniel Whittle (1840-1901) was another prolific hymn writer of the revivalist era.
He was named for the statesman Daniel Webster, whom his father admired. He had heard Webster say in a stirring speech, “It is my living sentiment, and by the blessing of God it shall be my dying sentiment--independence now and independence forever!”
Whittle’s mother was an earnest, praying Christian, and he professed Christ in his youth and even worked as a superintendent of a Sunday School. Serving in the Union forces.. see full report
Christ’s Vicarious, Substitutionary Atonement Sept. 3, 2025
The following is excerpted from the Way of Life Commentary Series, Isaiah -
Christ’s Atonement (Isa. 53:4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12). Twelve times this passage emphasizes the fact that Christ suffered in the place of sinners. This is obviously the emphasis and focus of the great prophecy. To make atonement means to satisfy a debt, and Christ paid the full sin debt for every sinner who receives Him. Christ’s atonement is called vicarious, meaning it was done in the place of another. It is called substitutionary, because He was the substitute for the sinner.
“If words are to be permitted to have any meaning, if the language of the Bible was intended to be understood, the prophecy is a declaration, positive, unequivocal, distinct--that Messiah was to be made a propitiatory sacrifice. His innocence .. see full report

Power to Become the Sons of God
September 2, 2025
“He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” (Joh. 1:11-13)
Consider some lessons from this glorious passage of Scripture:
We see the universal offer of salvation in Jesus Christ (“that all men through him might believe ... as many as,” Joh. 1:7, 12). Men can receive Christ; all men can receive Christ. This is not trick language. There is no “sovereign” election here that in any way limits salvation to only certain men. “Election” is a wonderful Bible doctrine; “sovereign election” is a man-made Augustinian heresy. Christ was rejected by the world at large and by His own nation, but He is received by the.. see full report

ANY CHURCH THAT IS NOT DEALING EFFECTUALLY WITH THE PORNOGRAPHY ISSUE IS DOOMED (Friday Church News Notes, August 29, 2025, www.wayoflife.org fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - In the smartphone age, there can be no doubt that any church that is not dealing effectually with the internet pornography issue is doomed to be leavened with immorality. The church at Corinth had just one member who was living in immorality, and Paul rebuked the church for failing to “purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump” (1 Corinthians 5:6). Paul said, “Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?” The one member at Corinth had adulterous lust for his father’s wife... see full report
New King James Version and Pul/Tiglathpileser
Aug. 28, 2025
KJV - “And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, unto this day.” (1 Ch. 5:26).
NKJV - “So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, that is, Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria. He carried the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh into captivity. He took them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river of Gozan to this day” (1 Ch. 5:26).
In this verse, the New King James Bible brashly rejects the divinely-appointed Hebrew text by identifying Pul as Tiglathpileser. It is a major error caused by capitulation to modern archaeological scholarship.
Popular evangelical commentaries typically perpetuate this error. This is.. see full report

Some of the Psalms contain amazing conversations between God the Father and the Son. Here we see the doctrine of the Trinity. We see that God has a Son, and the Son is the Anointed (Christ).

The Fundamentalist Fellowship was founded in 1920 by a group of pastors in the Northern Baptist Convention who wanted to rescue it from theological liberalism. It was founded at a pre-convention conference before the annual National Baptist Convention meeting. The conference was held at Delaware Avenue Baptist Church of Buffalo, New York, and the theme was “The Fundamentals of Our Baptist Faith.”
The “Call” for the conference was signed by 156 pastors and laymen:
“To all Baptists Within the Bounds of the Northern Convention.
“Greeting: We view with increasing alarm the havoc which rationalism is working in our churches as evidenced by the drift upon the part of many of our ministers from the fundamentals of our holy faith.
