Treat others right—always, and especially in business. Read about this subject Scripture: Isaiah 5:8, Proverbs 23:4, Luke 16:25, Isaiah 5:9

Look around—our society is growing more violent and immoral, just as Sodom and Gomorrah once did. The Bible warns that unchecked sin only worsens.

People often talk about the weather—how hot the summers are and how cold the winters can be—but Malcolm Hill reminds us of a place far hotter than any earthly season. Drawing from Luke 16:19–31, he speaks of the rich man who learned too late the reality of eternal punishment. This powerful message urges us to reflect on the state of our souls, remain faithful to God, and be prepared to meet Him in...

For fifty years, Tennessee Bible College has prepared men to preach the unsearchable riches of Christ. Just as Jesus, the apostles, and Timothy were equipped for the work, so every preacher must be trained to handle the Word with care.

Featuring the cherished gospel hymn The Old Rugged Cross and his personal recitation, this story reflects on the true meaning of the cross at Calvary—smaller than often depicted, yet greater than the world because of the One who died...

A lot of people say they believe the Bible—but their actions tell a different story. They read it, quote it, even carry it around, but don’t always live by it. The truth is, God’s Word isn’t confusing. It can be understood if we read it honestly, reason through it, and stay consistent. The Bible speaks clearly: one body, one Spirit, one faith, one baptism, one God. That’s the gospel—and it doesn’t...

What will happen when Christ returns? John 5:28–29 reveals the reality of the resurrection—all who are in the graves will hear His voice, some to eternal life, others to condemnation. It’s not a reign in Palestine, but the end of time. Are you ready for that hour? This special throwback episode features the voice of Malcolm Hill, founder of Tennessee Bible College and original host of One Gospel M...

Practical atheism is professing belief in God while living as if He isn’t real. Many Jewish priests, including the Sadducees, rejected essential spiritual truths even as religious leaders. In Jeremiah’s day, people claimed to worship God but shamelessly practiced sin, convinced they had permission. That mindset is still common today. Will you follow God wholeheartedly by obeying the Gospel of Chri...

As we celebrate the 4th of July and reflect on the sacrifices made for our nation’s freedom, we’re reminded that the greatest freedom comes through the Gospel.

Life is short and fleeting, like a vapor or a fading flower. The Bible reminds us that our time on earth is limited and full of challenges, but its message points us to something greater—eternity with God. This is the Gospel: that true purpose is not found in this world, but in living in obedience to Christ and preparing for the life to come. Read about this subject  Scriptures: James 4:14, Psalm...

Those who don’t respect the dead are unlikely to respect the living. On Memorial Day, we owe gratitude to those who came before us—family members who worked hard for our future, and soldiers who died defending our freedoms. Like Abraham who honored his family with a proper burial, we too should show respect. As one veteran said, even during holiday fun, take a moment to remember those who gave so...

What’s guiding your faith—tradition, opinion, or truth? Many today are led by family, friends, or popular trends, but God calls us to follow His Word alone. Man-made teachings fall short, while the Bible reveals God’s will and the path to eternal life. From the archives: A powerful word from Brother Malcolm Hill, the founding president of Tennessee Bible College and the original voice behind One G...

“The world’s not the same without Mother.” God designed women to nurture and guide the home, and many owe their faith to a godly mom. Even Jesus was raised by Mary, chosen for her purity and devotion. The world deeply needs faithful Christian mothers—and that, too, is the Gospel. Read about this subject Scriptures: Genesis 2, Matthew 19:5, Luke 3 “Appreciating Courageous Mothers” “God’s Career Cho...

Are you hitting the mark in your walk with Christ? The Bible shows that sin is missing the mark—choosing the wide, easy road instead of the narrow path Jesus calls us to follow. We can’t guide ourselves; we need God’s direction. His Word is clear, true, and leads to real peace and faithful living. If you want to stay on target, Jesus is the only way. Read about this subject Scriptures: Philippians...

The Bible lists seven things God hates, including pride, lying, murder, wicked schemes, eagerness to do evil, bearing false witness, and causing division among believers (Proverbs 6:16-19). These sins are serious in God’s eyes, even if the world overlooks some of them. Christians are called to avoid these behaviors, love God wholeheartedly, and live faithfully for eternal salvation. Read about thi...

It’s always good to hear people talk about Jesus — especially His resurrection. But Easter isn’t a Biblical celebration. In Acts 12:4, the word “Easter” was a mistranslation — it should read “Passover.” The Gospel is simple: Christ died, was buried, and rose again the third day (I Cor. 15:3-4).  God didn’t authorize Easter — He gave us a weekly memorial on the first day of every week (Acts 20:7)....

Prayer is not just words spoken into the air — it’s the faithful reaching out to the Creator who holds all power. God hears. God responds. And when His people pray with trusting hearts, incredible things can happen. Healing, restoration, forgiveness — all flow from His hand. Whether it’s a hurting soul, a broken body, or even a troubled world, God alone provides the healing we truly need. Read abo...

Did you know that God wants all Christians to be united? Jesus Himself prayed for that unity in John 17:20-21. The Bible speaks clearly against division among believers (1 Corinthians 1:10-12) and urges us to strive for unity in Christ (Ephesians 4:3-6). That kind of oneness isn’t just a dream—it’s possible when we follow the Bible alone (Galatians 1:6-9). So here’s the big question: Are you worki...
