Ephesians 3:17-19
When we let our light shine, it inspires others to hope and dream of their own ability to break out of obscurity. When we persevere and overcome, it gives others hope that they also can get the victory. When we scour our soul for answers and strength when the outside world is offering no hope,...

Christ didn’t come to win friends; He came to save friends. Christ came calling sinners to repentance. Sin is rebellion against GOD, and rebellion against GOD is lethal both physically and spiritually. You can’t consider yourself someone’s friend if you are unwilling to warn them of danger. We shouldn’t mistake gaining the favor of someone... Continue Reading →
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 →

The same word is used in reference to... Continue Reading →
It is only when YAHWEH draws a person to Himself that they are ready to hear Him. Many people trying to serve Christ attempt to lure people to Him by softening His requirements. A person must be ready to turn from their own self-reliance before they can turn to the Savior. They may be convinced... Continue Reading →
I had a conversation with a friend the other day that was hoping to revitalize a community through revitalizing an old church positioned in the middle of it. He expressed some disappointment as he discovered the church leadership wasn’t willing to make some needed changes due to doctrinal beliefs. It seems the pulpit of the... Continue Reading →
None of us knew Adam, the first man, but we are all connected to him through physical birth. Adam passed to all of his descendants the defect of death. Now we all have an opportunity to be freed from this defect through becoming a descendant of Christ. The bible refers to Christ as the second... Continue Reading →
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 →
