Ephesians 3:17-19
I recently searched for the word “unconditional” in several versions of the Holy Bible and you know what…I couldn’t find it. So, where does a person get the idea that God’s love is unconditional? My guess is the same place as the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus. I realize that this is a bubble buster... Continue Reading →
The Holy Bible is full of retrospectives and lessons learned from past generations for reference to current and to future generations toward making better decisions, rather than repeating past sins. Like the whole chapter of 1 Corinthians 10, which is a reminder not to provoke GOD through rebellion as the Israelites did after their deliverance... Continue Reading →
There are many fishers of men but there are few that gather with Christ. When recruiting disciples, Christ told men that if they would follow Him, then He would make them fishers of men. Our focus should not be on the fishing but the following of Christ. He has already said if He is lifted... Continue Reading →
Over the years, I have written and spoken often about how crucial it is to embrace truth when it is revealed. In this world where ignorance and lies have been weaponized against us, the knowledge of truth is vital to life. The truth is as vital to life as food, shelter, and water. In the...

A perspective I have been enjoying recently is the idea of the Lord inviting us into His greater story by making us letters read of all men, as Paul writes about in the book of 2 Corinthians. The question is, are we willing to be a chapter in His story (history)? Can He use us... Continue Reading →

That means owning the present outcomes since they are largely based on the values and beliefs you exercised in your decision making. We don’t always get to choose the particular options before us...

There has been a lot of silence in the church regarding the evils of America. GOD says a key expression of love is correction. If you love America, then don’t let the nation be spoiled by withholding correction. As Christians, we have to be faithful and true to GOD, which is the same as being... Continue Reading →
Worship plain and simple means “to bow down to,” originating from the Hebrew word “shachah". We see it in the passage of Psalms 29:2 “Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.” Throughout scripture you will see the phrase “they fell down and worshiped Him.” ...

“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...
