By Ralph Williams (Psalms 118:1) “O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.” I want to give thanks to God for the “Mission of Hope”. “The Mission of Hope is a faith-based residential addiction recovery program for men and women.

The Gospel Brings Hope and Spiritual Fruit
(Colossians 1:4-10) “Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints, For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; Which is come unto you, as it is in all […]
Understanding Grace
If you think that you can lose your salvation, then you need to understand the word “grace”. My prayer is that after you read this you will know that you are in the grace of God. If you have any doubt about your salvation or if you have any misgivings about whether or not your […]
The Sting of Death is Sin
(1 Corinthians 15:54-57) “So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; […]
Weak in the Faith
(Romans 14:1) “Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to dispute over doubtful things.” What is it to be “weak in the faith?” There is a difference between “weak in the faith” and “weak in faith”. Abraham was not “weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he […]

The Fear of Death
Most people think that if one dies it is the worst thing that can happen to a person. And this is not true if he is in Christ, but if he is not in Christ, it is the worst thing that can happen to anyone. This is sad, for if things do not change everyone […]
What Is Living By Faith?
As I studied chapters 10 and 11 of Hebrews, I came to realized that the whole chapter 11 of Hebrews is about faith, and also about living by faith. Everyone named in chapter 11 is an example of people who lived their lives by faith. (Hebrews 10:38) “Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man […]
Why We Should Want To Please God
(Hebrews 11:5-6) “By faith, Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is and that […]
Living As A New Man (Part 4)
(Romans 8:4) “That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” There were many people in Paul’s day that believed the only way to be righteous came by keeping the law. Yet, Paul says that the law cannot be kept, because of the weakness […]
