Preparing for Christ’s Return
Christian fam, don't get too excited thinking we're going to escape strife and hardship. No. Too many preachers like to please itching ears with their sweet syrupy sermons. If you're preaching to me, I need full Bible passages and context, not cherry-picked portions. God wants to strengthen His people. How do people get stronger without … Continue reading Preparing for Christ’s Return
Saved By Grace or Works?
There is a big danger to thinking we are saved by works, but there is as a grave a danger in thinking we're just saved by grace. The Bible says "WORK out your salvation with FEAR and TREMBLING." -(Phil 2:12) We have to work at it. "Run the race." -(Hebrews 12:1) We must not just … Continue reading Saved By Grace or Works?
In Every Moment
God. He was. He is. He is to come. Calling Himself the "Alpha and Omega", "the Beginning and the End" etcetera, the God of this universe has defined His existence in the best way we humans could ever imagine Him.

Spirit Possession

Whether it took billions of years or six days, the complexity of our cosmos glorifies God and declares His infinite wisdom, knowledge, and power. If we could have been given trillions of years, we would never have figured out how to create anything … Continue reading How Awesome is the Creator?
THE LORD GOD
The LORD God, PERFECT, RIGHTEOUS, and HOLY is He. We seek to understand Him, but ultimately deny Him because He cannot be fathomed. How good can God be when there is so much suffering around us? Good enough to have sent His only begotten son Jesus Christ to die once for those who will dare … Continue reading THE LORD GOD
Select, Choose, Vote, and Elect, God Will Use Whoever You Choose.
Every four years, registered citizens of America have an opportunity to vote. In the grand scheme of things, the country as a whole determines the direction it wants to take for the next four years. It's fascinating how each person is like a cell that comprises a much larger organism. Each thought merges into a … Continue reading Select, Choose, Vote, and Elect, God Will Use Whoever You Choose.
Someone Should Tell the Pope
"You are NOT Christ" "You certainly are NOT God" "You don't speak for God" "Though He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, you change from time to time. Therefore we cannot trust you like we can trust our Creator." The Pope has had the audacity to tell Christians on several occasions that their mission … Continue reading Someone Should Tell the Pope
