Preach What Word?
by Terry Broome

I’ve often been asked why I didn’t write a book – an endeavor I’ve never felt compelled to do. I like books, and benefit from books. I learned many years ago that books can be informative. I’ve benefitted from reading books by authors I happened to agree with and by authors who held different views than I hold. At least they cause me to go back to the higher source (Scripture) and rethink my position. It should be noted that some books I’ve read can be very dangerous if someone reads only that book and doesn’t go back to the Scriptures “handling aright the word of God” (2 Tim. 2:15 ASV).

Understanding Salvation
by Terry Broome

Salvation is the most needed subject we could ever address. It’s true there are many things we need salvation from. Right now Americans are praying for salvation from terrorism, possibility of economic collapse and many other such categories that are very relevant. We do, in fact, need deliverance from these.

by Terry Broome

While Paul and Silas sang praises to God from within the Roman jail at midnight, a jailer slept while on guard duty, unaware, no doubt, of the importance of the hour. Little did he realize that he would soon encounter the mighty power of God. This man already understood authority, power, responsibility. He was answerable with his very life for the prisoners in this dungeon to those who had authority over him. Soon he was to witness a power that superseded that of Roman emperors, Roman idols, and Roman chains. In response to this Power he would eagerly do whatever it took for salvation.

How To Be Happily Married
by Terry Broome

Someone has said, “We can either ‘curse the darkness’ or ‘shed some light.’” Marriage in America is in trouble! Not only is divorce skyrocketing, but the home as a God-designed institution is under attack. From the halls of secular schools – to the halls of congress – to the howls of the feminist movement, the obituary of traditional marriage is being prepared and propagated. If the humanists, abortionists, feminists, and gay rights advocates have their way about it, the Bible definition of what makes a home will be lost forever to mankind.
