The Real Jesus
Our modern Christianity has become so Anti-Jesus, it’s disturbing. In fact, the “Jesus” of Postmodernism is not the Jesus of the Bible. It’s as if all the characteristics of the Lord have been dismantled, and only the “likable” traits have been used to re-assemble a more palatable Christ… A Christ that loves, but doesn’t punish. One that accepts, but never rejects. One who embraces, but...
Tending The Master’s Collection
Dear Lord, Can I be a bottler in heaven? Can I do that work for You? Bottle up all the tears to save Like You said You would do? Can I be a bottler in heaven? I know I’d do it well. Cause down here on earth, I’ve shed tears more than I could tell. Can I be bottler in heaven? I’d do my best, I know. Cause I would recognize the value Of those that weep and sow. Can I be a bottler in heaven? It is akin to my dream. To be close to...
Can You Be Moved?
Jesus said the wise man builds on the rock and the foolish man builds on sand, but not that storms come to both. The rain beats, the wind blows, the floodwater pours vehemently. The house on the rock cannot be shaken – but the house on the sand? Well, the foundation makes all the difference. “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but...

A few years ago while I was working in the offices of General Motors, I was shocked at an inter-office memo I had received. The note was to explain about a new “noise filtering system†that was to be installed in the 1,000-plus employee complex within the coming weeks. It wasn’t the system alone that got my attention… it was what I read next. The memo went on to say that white noise is merely a constant flood of sound that...
Means of Godliness
Not too long ago I began a study on the means of grace. The means (or steps) through the salvation process which are Grace, Faith, Confession, Forsaking sin, Baptism in Jesus’ name, the infilling of the Holy Spirit evidenced by speaking in an unknown language, and pursuing godliness. Rev. Simeon Young has a similar, and better-written study entitled ‘the Seven Steps of Salvation’. I suppose this last phase, if you...
Four Blood Moons – Is Something About To Change?
There has been much talk recently of the four “Blood Moons”, with the introduction of a book written by John Hagee as well as a follow-up movie. As end-times are quite important to the faith community, it’s important for us to biblically understand the topic. So, let’s talk about the End Times. The end times actually began on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2. This was also the beginning of the era of the church....
