“The reason talk is cheap,” said one wise man, “is because the supply always exceeds the demand.”
That’s certainly true in the internet age! Websites are cluttered with strings of comments that users have made about — well, anything and everything. You didn’t ask for their opinions, but you get them anyway. Even when they aren’t using their mouths, some folks are doing a lot of talking. And, if you’re like me, you’ve found that much of it isn’t worth hearing (or reading).
“In the multitude of words…

The saving gospel needs no revisions, additions or alternations. The gospel, as it is, will save man as he is. "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain."

How Many Roads Lead to Heaven?
On a map you can see many roads into any major city. If you want to get there, you can pick whatever route suits you. Many people think the same thing about variety among churches -- “We’re all on different roads to the same place,” they say. Can such a thing be so?Do you believe we can follow different roads? What does the Bible say about it? The Bible speaks of only two roads. In Mt. 7:13-14, Jesus said, “...the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and…
