    Mapping Out the Land of Revelation Knowledge

    Now that we have unloaded as much baggage as we can bear to part with at the present time, let’s leave Booth #2 behind and make our way on over to Booth #3—still here at the Welcome Center of the Word—where we will find maps of the Land of Revelation Knowledge that we are preparing to visit.  As will any map for any traveler venturing into any new territory, these will prove to be great aids to us as we continue on our journey through the world of the Word. That’s because, through their clear delineation of boundaries, we will be able to determine the extent of, or the limitations imposed upon, the knowledge that will actually be made available to…

    Time Out for a Baggage Check at Booth #2

      We are still here at the Welcome Center of the Word, where we have been arming ourselves with information which will prove to be invaluable during the remainder our rocking and rolling trip through the Bible.  Having first learned a little something about the Bible at Booth #1, it is now time for us to move on to Booth #2, where we will be given the opportunity to identify and check some of the baggage that we have brought with us on this trip.  And make no mistake about it, regardless of the group you are traveling with, when you boarded this Truth Train, you did so with one or more bags…

    More about the Bible… from Booth #1

      I hope everyone has taken the time to look over the Bible Brochure that is available here in Booth #1 at the Welcome Center of the Word.  While the veteran believers or long-time church members among us—those who are traveling in Group #1—might consider the information contained in it to be more than adequate to meet their needs, those traveling with us in Groups #2 and #3 who have little or no knowledge of the Bible, might prefer to receive a little more information on what the Bible is all about.  So, in an effort to address the needs of these last two groups, we’re going to take a few…

    Now…On to the Welcome Center of the Word

    Well…we have made it across the border!  Having received the gift of God’s glorious Salvation as the result of the New Birth, we have left behind the spiritual bondage and death so characteristic of the dark, barren land of the natural life, and are now entering the vibrant, verdant, and fruit–filled land of the Spirit—a land simply exploding with light and liberty!  I hope you have already noticed the change in the atmosphere.     Something else to take notice of as you eagerly survey this brand-new landscape, is that the land through which we are now traveling is one that is filled with peaks and valleys:  majestic peaks, blanketed…

    Next Stop…the New Birth!

    Now that everyone is back on board the train, it’s time for us to leave the Salvation Station; the place where we were introduced to God’s wonderful plan for saving sinners from death and destruction while, at the same time, adopting them as His very own children–in the process, giving them a hope in this life as well as a glorious future in the next. What we didn’t learn here, though, is just how we can appropriate this salvation that God has so graciously provided for us.  With that as our immediate goal, let’s make our way to the next stop on our tour, the New Birth Station; where we will not…
