The Thief on the Cross

The Thief on the Cross Mike Johnson The Bible teaches that baptism is for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38), washes away sins (Acts 22:16), saves (1 Pet. 3:21, Mk. 16:16), and puts people into Christ (Rom. 6:3, Gal. 3:27).  After listening to this teaching, some may ask, “What about the thief on the cross?”  […]

A Prayer for Forgiveness (Ps. 25)

by admin

A PRAYER FOR FORGIVENESS Mike Johnson Consider the following quote regarding Psalm 25. The sob of a great sorrow sounds throughout this psalm.

The Blessed of Forgiveness (Ps. 32)

by admin

The Blessedness of Forgiveness (Psalm 32) Mike Johnson Psalm 32 describes the blessedness of forgiveness differently than in any other psalm.

We often have to speculate regarding […]

Blot Out My Transgressions (Ps. 51:1)

The Purpose of Baptism

by admin

The Purpose of Baptism Mike Johnson  Baptism has been a controversial subject in the religious world and also a neglected subject by many preachers and teachers.  Baptism is not at all an obscure subject as the word “baptism,” or some form of it, occurs more than one hundred times in the New Testament.  This subject […]
