Waiting, the Ultimate Test!

Joseph Herrin (6-5-2000)Note: This article is 21 years old. The answer I was waiting on has come. Yahweh has proven Himself to me time after time. My relatives and most Christians still think I am crazy to trust in God. But here I stand, after all this time, trusting Yahweh and Yahshua for all...

Dentinogenesis Imperfecta

Joseph Herrin (05/05/2021)Back around 50 years ago I learned that I had Osteogenesis Imperfecta, or Brittle Bone disease. I had a mild case of it, but it still affected my life. I broke my first bone at age 7. It was my thumb. I had got it caught in a T.V. tray that was used as a sewing machine...

They Will Make Merchandise of You…

They Will Make Merchandise of You…

Joseph Herrin (4-22-07)In recent communications with professing believers I have reflected upon the problem of near-sighted reasoning. Oftentimes, due to long practice and familiarity, the saints embrace errors that are clearly shown to be what they are when they are viewed from a larger and more...

The Spirit OR the Word?

The Spirit OR the Word?

Joseph Herrin (10-24-2000)God has purposed that all things should be established by two or more witnesses and the two most pronounced witnesses He has given to the church are the Spirit and the Word. Unfortunately, much of the church has polarized around one or the other of these witnesses and...

The Significance of the Beard

The Significance of the Beard

Joseph Herrin (7-19-2000)Some may wonder why I would take the time to write about the beard.

This is the mindset of the Western world that many Christians find themselves in....

Joseph Herrin (07-04-2013)The Day of PentecostI deemed it expedient to post a second writing on the Holy Spirit, and tongues as a sign, after receiving numerous e-mails on the preceding post.

The Myth of an Inerrant Text

The Myth of an Inerrant Text

Biblical inerrancy means different things to different people. To some it means that the Scriptures as originally written by men inspired of the Holy Spirit were a perfect representation of the words of God. For some, though not all people, Biblical inerrancy also means that the Bible in its...
