Welcome to The Faith Messenger website

The Apostle John starts out his first epistle with these words,"...that which we have seen and heard we report to you, that ye also may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship is indeed with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ." (1Jo 1:3). It is our fervent hope and prayer that this may be true of you as you peruse these pages.

The Faith Messenger website was started with a view to help and edify believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. However, if you are unsure about your relationship with the Lord Jesus, we invite you to read a gospel message entitled A Just God and a Savior first. If you have any questions or comments, please take a moment to send us an email and we will be happy to help you from the Scripture.

Among a plethora of voices

I suppose the most natural question that presents itself to one's mind when faced with a new periodical is the question "Why?" Why another piece of literature in the sea of multiplied voices. And my answer is a simple one. I think C. H. Macintosh back in the 1800's presented it best when he wrote, "If positive truth has slain its thousands, then perverted truth has slain its ten thousands." It is surely to "the Church's shame that, that which God in His providence has provided to be used for positive good, i.e. the printing press, should be so lightly esteemed in the eyes of God's people, while Satan has mastered it completely for the destruction of the souls and the downfall of nations. God help us!" Read more
