    Why Do People Go To Church?

    A common term used in today's Christian Religion is to "go to church." However, when put in proper perspective this term makes about as much sense as asking someone how much does the color black weigh. The Church, the Body of Christ, is not a place to go to, but rather it is a true spiritual...

    Today's Christian Religion

    "Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples: "The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. So, practice and observe everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy, burdensome loads and lay them on men's shoulders, but...

    Serving The Kingdom Of Heaven

    The kingdom of heaven, sometimes referred to as the kingdom of God, is literally all around us. Not long before Jesus began His earthly ministry, the scriptures tell us that John the Baptist was sent to prepare the way for Him. John proclaimed, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."...

    Struggling with faith so bad

    Going through some very rough times spiritually right now. I'm filled with fear and worry. There are multiple reasons: I have lived in a certain sin (homosexual identity / desire) for so long, deceived by false teaching regarding it (was convicted before, but was in denial because I kept...

    But, the Lord Delivered Us

    The following is a passage of scripture from the Old Covenant Relationship God had with his people Israel, of that time. Not all of it applies to us today, but much of it does. So, we can still learn from it, and we can glean the New Testament parallels from this passage of scripture, too. For…...

    Torrents of Ungodliness

    Saved from My Enemies Psalm 18:1-6 NASB “I love You, O Lord, my strength.” The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, And I am saved from...

    Walk By The Spirit And Not By Flesh

    I encourage each of you, as I am encouraged each day by our Lord, to follow Christ in Spirit and not according to personal desires. “For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world. The world is...

    To Accomplish His Work

    Come and See John 4:28-30 ESV So the woman left her water jar and went away into town and said to the people, “Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?” They went out of the town and were coming to him. Jesus Christ had a divine appointment with a woman at a...

    The Parable Of The Sower

    The Parable of the Sower “That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea. Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore. And He told them many things in parables, saying, “A farmer went out to sow his seed. And...

    Contemplating Death

    January 24, 2020 We are all going to die one day. It is inevitable, unless the Lord returns first to take us home to be with him. My youngest sister died 5 years ago this month at the age of 61. My next to oldest brother died this past November at the age of 71. Although, as far as I know, I...

    Do Not Let Your Hearts Be Hardened

    "See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God. But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end the...

    Faith Working through Love

    Only Faith Through Love Galatians 5:2-6 ESV “Look: I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you. I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that he is obligated to keep the whole law. You are severed from Christ, you who would be...

    Because of Disobedience

    “Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it. For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened.” Hebrews...

    Shifting Shadows

    We read in Ephesians 2:8-9: “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” Eph. 2:8-9 ESV God’s grace to us is his gift to us. Our salvation from slavery to sin is his gift to us. And, the...

    Are We Approaching The End Of The Age?

    With so many events taking place around the world (with greater frequency) many suppose the Lord will be coming back to rapture His Body (the Church) any day now. This is the same question the disciple’s asked Jesus while He was still here on earth. “When will these things happen, and what will...

    The Message and the Ministry

    Jesus' number 1 job was to be the "lamb that was slain" to take away our sins. His blood being spilled satisfied the Father that justice had been achieved. Heb 9:22 Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of...

    The Spirit Is Willing, But The Body Is Weak

    Today, while it is still called today, is filled with opportunity and purpose. Even if you have only one hour left before you sleep there is ample time to surrender all and yield to the Heavenly Father’s will. Too often, those who truly abide in Christ find themselves consumed and distracted by...

    The Church on Fire!

    Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be...
