By the Editors at Lighthouse Trails From the Appendix from Bob Kirkland’s book, Calvinism: None Dare Call It Heresy No subject ever discussed can be more important and crucial in this life than the subject of salvation. This is what the citizens of Berea were discussing where it says in Acts 17:11, “they received the … [Read more…]
LTRP Note: The following is an extract from Roger Oakland’s booklet, The New Evangelization From Rome—Or Finding the True Jesus Christ. By Roger Oakland When Christians speak of evangelism, they are usually referring to efforts to fulfill the Great Commission. Just before ascending to heaven, Jesus commissioned every believer to proclaim the good news when … [Read more…]
By Ray Yungen Knowing Jesus Christ is not merely religion or spirituality but is rather a personal relationship with Him. Romans 10:2 speaks of those who have a “zeal for God but not according to knowledge.” Many contemplative writers describe a spiritual despondency they suffer before turning to mystical prayer as a remedy, and consequently … [Read more…]
LTRP Note: The following is from Harry Ironside’s book Full Assurance. By Harry Ironside A comment put to me: “If I could only be sure I was in the right church, I would feel secure; but there are so many different churches that I get all confused and upset.” My response: The church is not … [Read more…]
By Harry Ironside I want to draw your attention to the blessedness of being transfigured by beholding the face of our Lord Jesus Christ. It was the sight of His face that won our poor, wayward souls in the beginning when we were going on in our sins. And then we met Him, and we … [Read more…]
By David Dombrowski More and more, as I hear news of what is happening in the world, my only conclusion can be that we must be living in the last days.

By Harry Ironside From a very early age, God began to speak to me through His Word. I doubt if I could go back to the first time when, to my recollection, I felt something of the reality of eternal things. My father was taken from me, before his features were impressed upon my infant … [Read more…]
By Roger Oakland Evolution` not only robs God of His glory in creating life, it also destroys God’s purpose of death and God’s plan to overcome it through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Bible says, “For the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23) and “whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have … [Read more…]
In 2018, Lighthouse Trails published Bob Kirkland’s book Calvinism: None Dare Call It Heresy. Over the last few years especially, the editors at Lighthouse Trails have grown increasingly troubled and dismayed to see how Calvinism has and continues to infiltrate today’s Christian churches, ministries, and colleges. If you do not understand what Calvinism really teaches, … [Read more…]
By David Dombrowski If I were to say to you that much of the church today has set aside the power of God, would you be shocked? After all, we live in a time where having the power of God in your life is a major theme preached from pulpits across the country. And book … [Read more…]
By Harry Ironside But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay. (2 Corinthians 1:18) The opening verses of this chapter are, I think, a bit ironical. The apostle Paul had been used of God for the conversion of these Corinthians. Into that godless city—one of the vilest cities in … [Read more…]
Dear Lighthouse Trails: I am in a quandary. I have read quite a few of your booklets on line about the New Age, specifically Yoga. I have also made a substantial purchase because you are right on as far as these subjects go. I am confused as to why you seem to hate Catholics when … [Read more…]

By Judson Casjens For many believers, the doctrines of foreknowledge, predestination, adoption, and election paint a completely distorted picture of God, at least from how God has revealed Himself within His Word. Misunderstood biblical teaching always results in a misunderstanding of the person of God and His purposes, even His relationship to you and me. … [Read more…]
By Gregory R Reid As a Christian researcher and minister, I approached the reading of Andy Stanley’s book Irresistible with an account of Andy Stanley’s message to the Southern Baptist Convention that helped me to understand Stanley’s core belief concerning the Scripture. He had told the gathering at the SBC, “I would ask preachers and … [Read more…]
LTRP Note: The Message “Bible” written by the late Eugene Peterson is widely quoted by pastors and other Christian leaders. For many years, Lighthouse Trails has tried to show that this paraphrase of God’s Word should not be used (as it so often is) as God’s Word, and in fact, is a distortion of God’s … [Read more…]

By Judson Casjens Hornets are considered “social wasps,” and they build communal nests by chewing wood to make a papery pulp. Each nest has one queen, who lays eggs and is attended by workers who, while genetically female, cannot lay fertile eggs. Most species make exposed nests in trees and shrubs, but some build their … [Read more…]
By Roger Oakland Follow Your Heart or God’s Law? The world tells us to follow our heart—go with our feelings. The Bible, on the other hand, states emphatically: “He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered” (Proverbs 28:26). Our senses and feelings can direct us … [Read more…]
By Harry Ironside Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God. (Psalm 84: 3) You will notice the heading to this Psalm, the words “To the chief Musician. A Psalm for … [Read more…]
By Harry A. Ironside “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Why do so many people think this is the greatest text in the Bible? There are other wonderful texts that dwell on the love … [Read more…]
Dear Lighthouse Trails: In your last e-mail newsletter, you showed us the covers of three upcoming books. And I’m concerned about one of them. It’s Calvinism: None Dare Call It Heresy, which exposes some serious problems with Calvinism. I am not a Calvinist. Not at all. I’ve seen some very serious problems with that over … [Read more…]
By David Dombrowski The Gospel is a standard and the central theme of the entire Bible. We can think of it like a balancing scale, weighing truth against error. But how much does the Gospel weigh? That might sound like a foolish question, but let’s take a moment to see how a balancing scale works. … [Read more…]
By Harry Ironside A great many people make the mistake of trying to live the life before they receive the life. The hardest thing I know is to try to live the Christian life when you do not have it to live. There must be a Christian life first before you can exemplify and manifest … [Read more…]
By Egerton Ryerson Young (Missionary to the Cree people in Manitoba in the late 1800s) The following incident occurred years ago on the great plains of the Canadian Northwest, long before the waves of Anglo-Saxon civilization began to surge over those glorious fertile prairies which for so many generations were hid from the gaze of … [Read more…]
LTRP Note: Lighthouse Trails receives a growing number of letters from those who are incarcerated in U.S. prisons. The men and women who write all profess their faith in Jesus Christ, having become believers while in prison. In almost every letter we receive, the prisoner tells us that false doctrines (ecumenism, Purpose Driven, seeker friendly, … [Read more…]
To Lighthouse Trails: . . . having a form of godliness but denying the power there of. I was a cultural Christian, and I was baptized in the Baptist church that I was raised in. I was not born again. Sadly, it was departing from the faith; however, God used my evil for good. I … [Read more…]
By Harry A. Ironside He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shalt not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. (John 3:36) Will a loving God permit anyone to be eternally lost? The only place we can find an answer to that question … [Read more…]
