God is Big
| November 1, 2024God is big. Very BIG! In fact, He is so big that the earth is His footstool.
Do you Believe in the Bible?
| November 1, 2024When you read the Bible, do you believe what it says? Have you ever read something in the Bible that is contrary to what you believe?
Stepping out of the Boat
| November 1, 2024It was a stormy night on the Sea of Galilee. The disciples were in a boat, struggling against the wind and the waves.
My Grace is Sufficient
| November 1, 2024According to Scripture, the Lord revealed some of His most precious mysteries to the apostle Paul by allowing him to see visions and revelations. At one point, Paul was caught up to the third heaven, paradise.
What is the Will of the Father?
| November 1, 2024What does it mean to “obey not the Gospel?” Is it doing many wonderful things for Jesus, in the name of Jesus?
Blessed are the Poor in Spirit
| November 1, 2024What does it mean to be poor in spirit? Matthew 5:3 has been used to persuade a person that they cannot know they are saved and still be poor in spirit.
Contend for the Faith
| September 1, 2024In Galatians chapter 1, men had come in and were teaching a perverted gospel. Paul was clear: if anyone, even an angel, preached any other gospel, he was to be cursed.
Today, I implore you, my fellow believers, to not just passively hold onto the faith that was once delivered to us but to actively and earnestly contend for it. Consider the words of Jude, who calls us to action.
The Simplicity that is in Christ
| September 1, 2024One of the greatest dangers facing Christianity today is the same as it was 2,000 years ago. Paul wrote to the church at Corinth that he feared their minds were being corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
Pray them into Heaven
| September 1, 2024My mind often goes back to a weird old guy who was the driver for the Amish construction crew I worked with. He stuttered, kept a Bible in his truck, and often tried to steer the conversation towards Godly things.
Pride
| July 1, 2024PRIDE: A feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one's accomplishments.
Impute
| July 1, 2024The word impute is an accounting term. In Scripture the word impute is speaking of recording our debts or crediting to our accounts. Imagine you go to the store, buy a product, walk to the register, and hand the cashier your credit card.
Persecution is Coming. Can you Stand?
| July 1, 2024Persecution will come, will you stand? Our world is in serious trouble, for it is ruled by the Prince of Darkness, whose primary goal is to steal, kill, and destroy. A time is coming when it will mean death to be a Christian, perhaps very shortly. In several countries, this is already the case. Are you willing to die?
Fathers
| May 1, 2024Father's Day. What is it? How should we celebrate? In this country, the average amount a person spends on gifts is $115.00! If dads are not honored, it is not because insufficient money is spent.
Choose your Hard
| May 1, 2024When situations arise, and my emotions are stirred up, I am reminded of past wounds and sadness at the level of accusations made against a fallible human who is choosing a harm-filled path.
Five Things Christ’s Resurrection Accomplished
| May 1, 2024The bodily resurrection of Christ is fundamental to Christianity. It defines the Christian faith. No one can be a Christian without it, for it is the very core of the gospel!
Just Listen
| May 1, 2024Most of us would rate ourselves as good listeners. At least, we would like to think that way. Sadly, most of us are not good listeners. We fail miserably.
The True Church of God
| May 1, 2024“They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth forever” (Psalm 125:1).
The Ultimate Authority
| March 1, 2024I used to unquestioningly believe whatever I was told. A few years back, there became a point in my life where some things I had been taught did not make sense.
Mountains and Valleys
| March 1, 2024I have fought depression all my life. In these valleys or low, low, times of my life, I have begun to see a pattern. I write my best in the valley. I am less critical in the valley. My hope always becomes a hope that hopes in God alone.
When Our Nation Mocks God
| March 1, 2024In 1957, as a small Amish boy, I started my first grade in the brand-new Walker Twp. Elementary School in Juniata Co Pa. Our teacher read from the Bible and prayed as we began the day. I spent three of my years in this public school.
Preach the Gospel!
| March 1, 2024If we followed Paul's strategy, if we were more concerned about gaining souls for Christ than being right, if we stepped out of our bubble long enough to understand and learn from others, if we placed the value of others above our own.
Failing a Test
| January 1, 2024I messed up. Badly. I feel stupid. The tests that we face in life are not so that God knows who we are; they are so we know who we are.
Are We the Same to God?
| January 1, 2024For most of my life, I thought people who werent in our denomination were worldly and ungodly. But is that an accurate statement? What does the Bible say about it?
The Strange Woman
| January 1, 2024Proverb 5 is a warning concerning the enticing woman. That path will lead downward to death and hell. We cannot afford to be ignorant of the many tools and devices at Satans disposal to entice men to wickedness.
Two Sets of Eyeballs
| January 1, 2024The Lord gave all living creatures one set of eyes to see with. But to mankind, He gave two sets of eyes. Let me explain:
Open your Mouth and Let God Fill it!
| November 1, 2023In the Bible, Egypt is a picture of bondage, depression, slavery, oppression, and darkness. For four hundred years, God’s chosen people suffered under the hand of Pharaoh.
What is True Brotherly Love?
| November 1, 2023To me, this is a deep thought-provoking question. Do I practice it?
Was Prayer the Difference?
| November 1, 2023I have often wondered why one thief believed and hoped while the other laughed. Why? I wondered if the one might have had a praying mother.
The Danger of Following in the Jews Footsteps
| November 1, 2023There are many examples of unbelief throughout the Bible. There is not enough space to write them all, so for now we will look at a few examples from the book of Acts.
