Paradise Lost, Paradise Gained
Kenneth Milne
What is "paradise?"  Is it synonymous with "heaven?"  When man sinned and was driven out of the Garden,
was paradise lost forever?  What was the central theme of the ministry of Jesus?  Did Jesus enter
paradise the day he died?  And what exactly is the "third heaven?"  Find out the truth from God's word today.

His Name was Useless
Austin Railton   8-8-1976
The book of Philemon is a short, personal letter written by Paul under house arrest.  Even in chains and
living as a prisoner, he continued to minister.  In the letter, he compels Philemon in love to forgive
Onesimus, his slave, and receive him not as a slave, but as a son.  And in the letter, we see ourselves.  We
were all slaves to sin and useless to God.  But now Jesus speaks to his Father in love and reminds Him of
what he has done.  Jesus asks his Father to accept us as His sons - and become useful laborers for God.
Philemon 1:1-21
Baptism and the Thief on the Cross
Z.B. Duncan   11-28-1984
Water baptism is an outward confession of faith for the remission of sins that was commanded by Jesus.  
But is the thief on the cross proof that immersion is not necessary, or is there evidence that indicates
otherwise?  Did the thief even die that day?  Is there enough to base our doctrine off of this one verse?
Luke 23:39-43; Mark 16:15,16; Matt. 28:19; 27:43,44; John 4:1; 19:18; 1 Cor. 1:3,14; Acts 19:12; Psa. 6:5; 143
