I came across a quote from one, Barbara Brown Taylor, that emphatically stated Christ died because of the alliance and cooperation of religion and government—in other words, man killed Christ. The warning was ostensibly that if the government and the church get together, they are both lying and trying to take over the world at…

“Therefore by their fruits you will know them.” (Matthew 7:20; see vss. 15-20) “I grieve to think how that holy name by which we are called must be blasphemed among the heathen, while they see discontented Christians, passionate Christians, resentful Christians, earthly-minded Christians. Yea, to come to what we are apt to count small things,…

God is very protective of His people. He is a jealous God who is slow to wrath but will avenge the wrong perpetrated on those He loves and will seek vengeance against His adversaries (Nahum 1:2-3). Those of us who have been called to lead and teach His flock need to take notice. We will…

It is human nature to want to be right when presenting information. The shame of making a mistake or not finding agreement in a presentation is sometimes sobering and can be horrifying. God has taught me a valuable lesson about being “right” or correct in facts that do not have eternal consequences. I can be…

When I became a follower of Christ in 1980, the experience changed the direction of my life. Most of us who have experienced Christ’s love on a personal level would attest to the same change. During the intervening years, and with varying degrees of success, I have shared my faith and walk with fellow believers…

Church leaders, we are faced with a great opportunity. God continues to move in awakenings and revivals across the country and the world. We must seize the opportunities to unashamedly and boldly tell the world of Christ and His love. That unconditional love that saw Him obey God the Father unto death on the cross…

As America begins its walk-through Hebrews’ 12:26 & 27 shaking, it brings scripture into focus. We are to depend on God, not a government of men. Scripture is abundantly clear that we, the ekklesia, are to be generous to the poor (Proverbs 19:17) in order to practice a faith pure and undefiled before God (James…

It is humorous when man attempts to lecture God. The lecturer will often direct their words at another person, but the unstated purpose is to superimpose their worldview over scripture and tell God where He got it wrong. Too often, the truth of the scripture is lost in the attempt to make the Bible fit…

“And yet, I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” John 16:32 & 33 As leaders in the church today, we can expect…

Since my last blog in December, we have transitioned through the holidays to a new year. That last blog of 2024 encouraged the church not to lose focus. The new administration takes over in a few days, and the deep state and their equally uninformed minions continue to attack. Just remember that God created government,…
