Missed or Tolerated?

Romans 16:3-4 Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus: Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles. Nowadays, we need more Priscilla's and Aquila's in our local churches. In Romans

God loveth a cheerful giver.

2 Corinthians 9:6-7 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. There

National Atheist Day

Many call today April Fools' Day. Some call it National Atheist Day, because it is a foolish thing to deny God. So, here are three simple thoughts: ONE: Only a FOOL would deny the existence of God. Psalm 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no

Is Social Media corrupting parents?

Sadly, more and more parents have forgotten how to parent because they have become addicted to social media. YES, just like anything, social media can be used for good or evil. But, statistics report that parents are using social media up to 9 hours a day. Sadly, a good portion

The S.I.S. Virus

WARNING: There's been a worldwide outbreak of the S.I.S. virus! Millions of people have been infected by it. If you've not heard of it, allow me to explain. S.I.S. stand for Self Importance Syndrome. It consists of people who are excessively preoccupied with themselves. Here are

Indifference is Lukewarmness!

As Christians: we have no rights, we have no rule, we are not our own! The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not

I'm So Sorry for Your Loss...

The tornado that touched down in Rolling Fork, MS took over 20 lives. The highway crash in Robertson County, TN left six children dead on arrival. The school shooting at Covenant School in Nashville, TN took 6 innocent lives. If it wasn't YOU that lost a loved one, then you

Handling problems...

Problems come when least expected. We reason that if we had time to prepare for these problems, we would increase our chances of handling them properly. But maybe a better way to look at it would be this: God wants us to deal with unexpected problems by trusting Him to

Do people care anymore?

When I traded in my Chevrolet truck, no one from the General Motors company called me. They didn't call me, because no one at the company even noticed I traded it in. They didn't notice, because they didn't care. When I decided to purchase a Nissan truck, I never got

Charity never faileth

A standardized test can measure if you got the Bible verses right, to understand the right doctrine, to receive a passing test score. Congratulations, you aced it! A test can also be given to determine if the kids in the Sunday School class memorized the Bible verse correctly. Congratulations, you

Charity matters

Any extremely important word is worth studying. Charity is one of those words. And in 1 Corinthians 13, God gives us a 13 verse definition of what charity is, and how vitally important it is for the born-again Christian. In that same chapter we also see words like: suffereth, kind,

A Heart Cry for Christian Charity

Charity is 100% correctly translated in the King James Bible. Charity is a particular love and special care that one Christian has towards another Christian. For this reason, charity becomes a very strong and convicting word. Christians are blessed because they get to live out the word charity. They do

Comfortable Christianity

Comfortable Christianity says... Offer people a sports team to be a part of. Offer them status to expand their business. Offer them traditions tailored to meet what they want to believe. Offer them a multi-million dollar worship palace to come to with free daycare, and a mini Christian theme park

Do you want to? Or do you WANT...to want to?

Christians are God's servants who are at work, for God's glory! And many Christians would testify that they want to serve the Lord! But, what some of them really mean is that they WANT...to want to serve the Lord. In other words, they desire to have the desire. It's

Bless the Lord...bless his holy name.

Psalm 103:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Born-again, blood-washed, Christians have ... The Holy Ghost. The Comforter. The truth. The word of truth. The way of truth. The Spirit of truth. The Spirit that guides into all truth! The

Stay away from the edges.

The young man in this photo is building a chicken house with the help of his dad. He's on the roof, that was built in a nontraditional way. He's also close to the edge of that roof. This takes some responsibility. But what exactly IS responsibility? Many live life with

I'm too busy...

People are busier than ever and have a LOT to get done. As a result, handwritten notes have been replaced with quick text messages. A polite greeting of saying "Hello" to someone, has been replaced with walking past them without notice, as our heads are buried in our phones. The

1 Week till Bible Conference

I cannot see...

People would say to Fanny Crosby that it was a great pity that God didn’t give her sight when he showered her with so many other gifts. Fanny would remark by saying: "Do you know that if at birth I had been able to make one petition, it would

Faith Walk or Leap of Faith

The term Christian growth refers to the continual, daily process in the life of a believer, whereby we: "grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ." Have you ever asked a fellow Christian: “How’s your walk with the Lord?” It's a great question

Sunday...

The day after Saturday is Sunday. Sunday is the 1st day of the week. Sunday is when Christians have traditionally gathered together to pray, sing praises to God and hear the proclamation of His word. I don't HAVE to go to a church house on Sunday; but there's no other

Is it because?

WHY do YOU attend church services? Is it because you want something better for your kids? Is it because it's the best you can find FOR NOW, but you're really waiting for something better to come along? Is it because you're waiting to see if the preacher agrees with everything

Are you really free?

Americans know what it means to fight for freedom, live for freedom, and die for FREEDOM! But are we really FREE? Can you say, for sure, that you are free from the bondage of sin & death? God created us to live with Him, but because Adam and Eve sinned, we

Got your ticket?

Tickets to a 2-hour concert can be expensive. For an important concert, people will pay big money to get in. But what about entrance into heaven? Heaven is far more important, and lasts at LOT longer than 2 hours. Heaven lasts for eternity. But, dear friend, so does hell. The

Statistics are true...

Yes, these statistics are true – 10 out of 10 people will die! The Bible confirms this by saying: it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. How would you do before God on judgment day? Have you ever lied or stolen something? Have you ever
