“Behold God is my help. The Lord is the upholder of my life.” – Psalm 54:4 Sometimes I just need to focus. Have you been there? A crisis comes unexpectedly and I get in react mode rather than to think rationally. This morning the phone rang and yes it was an emergency. I was sleeping real good, so I let the person call back several times before I finally answered. Time for mom mode to kick in, but I felt … Continue reading →
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea.” Psalm 46:1-2 How can we defeat fear? Yes faith is the key to defeating fear. Because God is a very present help in times of trouble we need not fear. In my head I see a scene from a movie. A building is burning. People find themselves … Continue reading →
Never before in American history have Christians experienced the war on Christianity, of being hated for following Jesus Christ as they are today. Jesus warned his disciples and explained why there exists a hatred for Christianity. “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the … Continue reading →
“Yet what we suffer now is nothing when compared to the glory he will reveal to us later.” Romans 8:18 Labor pains, we women who have had children can remember them. In the moment we are suffering we may be thinking it sure would be nice if men had to suffer like that. Funny thing though, that once the baby is in our arms the pain is forgotten. How strange that such a painful period of time just fades away … Continue reading →
Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. [Matthew 24:9-13] Reaping What We’ve … Continue reading →
Dispensationalists teach at the end of a future Tribulation period all the armies of the nations of the world will be gathered together in the valley of Armageddon just north of Jerusalem. It will start with little wars and grow and grow until there will be a great climax “Armageddon.” The armies will be there to destroy Israel but Jesus Christ shall destroy all of these armies at His Coming. (Isa. 13:1-18). The LORD will be king over the whole … Continue reading →
“We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also aught to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters. If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need, but shows no compassion, how can God’s love be in that person? Dear children, let us not merely say that we love each other. Let us show the truth by our actions.” – 1John 3:16-18 In … Continue reading →
I think most would agree when it comes to what’s important to you, you’d answer “family”. But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. – 1 Timothy 5:8 In today’s modern world the family is under attack by luciferian Marxists. They are working to break up the family and bring everyone under the control of technocratic statists. Their goal includes government … Continue reading →
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated; and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized. – The Bill of Rights In a fabricated war on terror, governments around the world have essentially eliminated personal privacy and is now collecting data and … Continue reading →
“Blessed are those who fear to do wrong, but the stubborn are headed for serious trouble.” – Proverbs 28:14 Have you ever known someone who insists on doing what both you and they know to be wrong? The boss says you can’t go out to lunch because he needs something done that really matters, yet you leave for lunch? You know you struggle with strong drink, yet you say, “just one won’t hurt me,” even knowing that one will lead … Continue reading →
Ecumenism is the concept and principle in which Christians who belong to different Christian denominations work together to develop closer relationships among their churches and promote Christian unity. Does that mean we are to join together while setting aside our differences? “Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues;” – Rev. 18:4 The message couldn’t be any clearer… “Come out of her,”… wake … Continue reading →
“Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek him with their whole heart.” – Psalm 119:2 Good morning brothers and sisters. I read our verse and think of a hero. What does someone do with a hero? In my head I see a child who has a hero. Just for an example let us say this child is a young lad who loves baseball. Since I am a Reds fan the lad will be too. On the team is a … Continue reading →
Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets. – Amos 3:7 Thousands of years ago, God revealed to His prophet Isaiah a time when He would establish His government here on earth. This is what Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem: In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as chief among the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will … Continue reading →
“If we are thrown into the blazing furnace the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power your majesty. But even if he doesn’t, your majesty, we want to make it clear to you that we will never serve your gods or worship the statue you have set up.” Daniel 3:17-18 Most would serve a god who always answered prayers with a yes, but what if he said no? Faced with death … Continue reading →
This article will explore three views of the nature of man and their relationship to God held by the early Christian church and how those views developed into what we accept today in the modern church. The three views are: Augustinian – man is spiritually dead; Pelagianism – man is spiritually well at birth and chooses his own destiny; and semi-Pelagianism – man is spiritually sick and only needs the help of a higher power to assist him in his … Continue reading →
