I was thinking back to what people would go through to get a bargain on "Black Friday". It has become known as the day of the greatest deals before Christmas. I don’t think it is ironic but rather strategic that one of the greatest displays of covetousness now traditionally occurs right after a Holiday observed... Continue Reading →
Resisting Truth: Why Some Christians Fall Short and Fall Away
“11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:” (Ephesians 4:11-12 KJV) Christians who fall short of the glory of GOD don’t fall short because sin is so...

Beware of Private Interpretations that Hide Truth
Your relationship with GOD is personal in that no one else can believe for you or worship for you. Each of those requires a personal knowing of GOD from our own heart. However, getting to that place and remaining in that place, by GOD’s design, involves the whole body of Christ. Understand, for the maturing... Continue Reading →
Truth grants us liberty to choose the right way
”But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” (Matthew 15:9 KJV) In Christendom, there are many commandments of men which have supporting false doctrines that attempt to validate them. I have often denounced these doctrines of men in the books and articles I have written, and during encounters with... Continue Reading →
Seek life in the bigger picture
The narrow path of salvation is right before us, but we can miss it if our hearts are set on finding some broader way. Just because the path is narrow doesn’t mean the journey on it isn’t filled with abundance. The true and living GOD is not limited by time or space. If our hearts... Continue Reading →
Understanding the correlation between the love of money and “All” the evil we face today?
The Apostle Paul wrote in a letter to Timothy that the love of money is the root of all evil. It is important to understand the basis of this statement because it takes us all the way back to Adam and Eve in the garden. There was no money or form of currency being exchanged... Continue Reading →
Doom and gloom or something beautiful and much greater?
There are mass shootings, instability, war, and conflicts all over the world because of selfishness, greed, hate, and fear. Then there are the horrific fates often met by people fleeing these atrocities. And then there is this beautiful Super Flower Blood Moon that I watched with my youngest son last night. The timing in the... Continue Reading →
For A Straight Line to Better Days Submit to GOD As Your Ruler
There have been times when I greeted people in the morning and they replied, “Same crap, different day.” Maybe you have gotten that response before or a more crude variant, but the sentiment is the same. That expression relays a certain futility with life in which a person is stuck in a loop that presents... Continue Reading →
Answering the Call for True Worshippers
We Unite, as the body of Christ, in Worship of the Father. The Son came to reconcile us back to the Father. There is unity in worship because all of our focus is on GOD as we acknowledge there is nothing or no one greater. In the act of worship, we yield our body and... Continue Reading →
To Make the Most of Your Freedom Follow the Good Shepherd
All we like sheep have gone astray;We have turned, every one, to his own way;And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. (Isaiah 53:6 NKJV) Today, this prophecy from the book of Isaiah still rings true. Many Christians today have used the liberty of being redeemed from the Law of Moses to live... Continue Reading →
