Spiritual growth, and not the practice of simply filling our heads with knowledge, is essential for every true follower of Christ. There are many who spend all of their time trying to figure out what this or that scripture means, or are driven to understand the scriptures from an historical...
Many today make the claim to be a Christian (like-Christ), yet they are trees without good fruit. Jesus warned us of these false believers who make the claim, but it is all talk. “Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. By their...
"This is the day that the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." (Psalm 118:24). Whether you are reading this message in the morning, evening, or somewhere in between, It is the right time to open your heart and thank the Lord for what He has done for you. The Father loves you so...
Imagine if you met someone at your local supermarket who engaged with you in conversation while waiting in line to reach the register. In what was just a short amount of time you share a wonderful conversation. They ask you what you do with your life and you briefly tell them about yourself and...
The Lord has commissioned His true disciples to go into the whole world to share the good news of the kingdom of heaven. John the Baptist was an ambassador for Jesus proclaiming, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.” (Matthew 3:2). Then Jesus proclaimed, as an ambassador of heaven...
Jesus taught us many things in both word and deed throughout His earthly ministry. Only a small sampling of these accounts are captured as part of the scriptures in what we commonly refer to as the Gospels. These same scriptures tell us, “Whoever claims to abide in Him must walk as Jesus...
Jesus gave us many parables to describe the kingdom of heaven. Some of these included the use of a banquet, talents, sheep and goats, a fig tree, and virgins to name a few. In each case, Jesus illustrated for us that the kingdom is intended for all of mankind, yet only a few will enter in the...
This word is four paragraphs long, so if you are simply into a quick one or two liner this is not for you. However, if you are interested in the great falling away taking place today in the world this word is for you.
The Bible predicts a great “falling away” from God in the end times. “Now...
The true follower of Christ needs to grow spiritually to walk as Jesus walked. By example, Jesus trusted the leading of the Spirit in everything He did here on earth even to the point of death. He did not do His will while serving the kingdom of heaven, but instead always sought to do the will...
Surrendering all to follow Jesus, contrary to popular beliefs, is much more than repeating some version of the “sinners pray,” joining and attending some local church, reading the bible, and spending time with others who do the same. Jesus did not tell us to do these things, instead what He did...
There are many who claim to know Jesus who attend weekly local church services and even donate some time and money to help others less fortunate than themselves, but is this what Jesus meant when He told us to do the will of the Father? Jesus never told us to go to church, read the bible, or...
In the beginning, God Almighty, created heaven, earth, and all living things. Sometime after creation, the Archangel Lucifer (Satan or the devil) rebelled against the Creator and war broke out among the angels whereby Satan and one third of the angels rebelled against God. As punishment, these...
This past weekend while pondering shortfalls in my relationship with the heavenly Father I began to realize how many hours of each day I simply live my life WITH Him and fail to live FOR Him as He has called me to do. The gospels clearly illustrate the difference between “living for” and “living...
Each day we awake, we are all, to some degree, aware of many things around us. We typically place most of our own attention on those things highest on our priority list. If it is dark, we turn a light on. If it is cold, we put a on something more to keep us warm. The modern attention grab...
Far too many have only heard the Christian Religion's version. The problem is that this is a half-truth gospel only telling part of the true gospel, but allowing people to hang onto their lives here on earth. The sad thing is, unless they are truly born again they will not receive the Holy...
“But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good...
As servants of the kingdom of heaven we are called to surrender our lives in this world to include wealth, fame, etc. to serve the will of the Father. There are far too many who make the claim to know Christ and yet in the end He (Christ) will tell, "Depart from Me, I never knew you!"
Throughout Jesus’ ministry He taught us a great deal about the kingdom of heaven. Yet, are we really listening or are we simply hearing what He said. Take for instance the parable of the sheep and the goats. On the surface, we know that on the day of final judgement Jesus, the King, will...
Questions: What is the most important day of the week when it comes to serving the kingdom of heaven?
Answer: Today! Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not a given; therefore, today is the only sure day we have to allow the Father to do His will in our lives as we serve His kingdom.
Be careful...
In today’s world, just as it has been from the beginning, mankind strives to be first. Even those who you would consider as “non-competitive” compete with others in countless ways. The way of the world teaches and often pushes people to act this way. Think back as far as Cain and Able and you...
