THE KNEE-JERK REACTIONS PHENOMENA Recently I was in a discussion with an individual with a strong Calvinistic mindset who was adamant about individual predestination. It still amazes me that anyone could espouse such a foolish and erroneous doctrine especially anyone with even a hint of the truth of the Apostolic faith. However it is, I […]
Now I Know
Now I Know Erroneously, some have even taught that God does not know the end from the beginning. Proponents of this “God of limited knowledge” doctrine insist that in the case of Abraham’s faith that God was unaware of the true devotion of Abraham until Abraham raised his knife to sacrifice his son Isaac, then, […]
Prearranged vs Predestination
Prearranged vs Predestination Many times people confuse the “natural savior” with the True “Spirit Savior.” Like the old joke about the man that slipped on the roof of the 6 story building he was roofing and while sliding down the roof slant and to his certain doom, cried out in desperation, “God please save me!” […]
Not Isolated – but Insulated
Not Isolated – but Insulated Much of our world is UNASHAMEDLY wallowing in the mud of sin and immorality. We are constantly being exposed to this philosophy in nearly every aspect of our lives; we can hardly get away from it. And it is nearly impossible for us not pick up some of the dirt. […]
In Defense of "Young Preachers"
In Defense of “Young Preachers” One only has to read the account of Job and his “comforters” to understand the tongue of the young…….. Notice which of the 3 comforters speaks the most ….. “And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I […]
Come Out From Among Them

The Greek word “aion” = our English word, “eon.” The Greek word “kosmos” = our English word “cosmos.” “Eon” means; a long period of time. (or for Biblical purposes; “the time or age of a […]
Idealism at War – The Battle for the Mind
Idealism at War – The Battle for the Mind When conquests of wars are predicated on advancement of ideas rather than on acquiring of territories or natural resources the scope and sensibilities of such conquests tend to go off scale. The “front lines” in such wars are never clear or easily defined. Nazi Germany certainly possessed […]
Culture Changers
From the APOSTOLIC TIMES by Howard H. Davis Vol.22 Issue 1 June 2010 It has been a good number of years since I published The Apostolic Times. For approximately 20 years, every month, 3000 copies of the 10 to 20 page tabloid were mailed out to Preachers across the USA, Canada and to Missionaries on […]
God Said Let Us Make Man
God Said, “Let Us Make Man.” Man Said, “Let Us Make God.” In Ex 32 Aaron’s excuse in making a golden calf says that the people said to him, “Make us gods that will go before us, for as for this fellow Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, […]
Delay Of Defeat
BITTEN TODAY – BEATEN TOMORROW Sometimes in the ongoing struggles for the faith it appears that some warriors leave the battlefield today with only a few cuts after dealing the enemy a trouncing but then, much later, that same warrior succumbs to the very enemy that yesterday he prevailed over. Seems that somehow that warrior, […]
