    Look Out!

    I am the first to admit that some churches in some countries are on a roller coaster. Mainly in places where Christians are under excessive persecution. Places like China, Nigeria, Iran, Sudan, Syria, Somalia, Pakistan and India to name a few. In places like that, the choice is stark. A case of...

    Is revival still relevant to today's culture?

    I'm referring to multi-day meetings where an itenarant evangelist (or pastor from a nearby church, more common where I live in MS) preaches sermons (usually containing "fire and brimstone" and coming from the KJV) urging the lost to come to Christ--followed by an endless singing of a song like...

    The Old Church

    Yesterday, I received notice that the building where my husband and I had first met, and where our relationship first began 47 years ago, had gone up in flames overnight. It had begun as a church building in 1885, but that church fellowship apparently sold it to the University of Akron in 1952...

Other times our spirits get tired and need refreshed, i.e. our emotions sometimes get drained, or even our spiritual lives might feel like something is missing. Sometimes it is because we lack true Christian fellowship with the Body of Christ, and...

    A Different Scandal

    Of Such a Kind It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and immorality of such a kind as does not exist even among the Gentiles, that someone has his father’s wife.

    All For Good

    And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

    Love... Jesus I Love You

    Love...Jesus, I Love You Love… this word is so common today. Jesus said to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. Do we really do that? How many empty “I love You’s” do we offer up to God? So many. Just stop for a brief moment and think about your...

    Old Time Religion

    I don't know about you but I long for a church experience that is not all razzle-dazzle. There are churches out there that do not subscribe to the razzle-dazzle of modern Christianity but they seem so lacking in power and biblical truth. They seem to be more interested in denominational purity...
