Not The Wearing Of Gold. By Verbal Bean Praise God! I have some copies of an Associated Press International article, covering the history of the ring, and it’s helpful in teaching why the Bible said, “Not The Wearing Of Gold” (1Peter 3:3).

Sin Is Still A Killer
Sin Is Still A Killer Text: James 1:13-15 Intro: Sin is being replaced by disease, mistakes, weakness, etc in the Christian ranks.

Ministerial Stigmata
Ministerial Stigmata I am no catholic, for it is they that have caused the corruption of the word “stigmata”, but I have seen and witnessed stigmata—inflicted upon many a true man of God. While the marks are, for the most part, not a scaring of the epidermis but are most often a stigmata of the […]
The Generation Of The ‘Saved’ Backslider
