The following truism is a commonly known and embraced principle and warning: “IT IS MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO THROW EVIL AND EVIL MEN OUT, THAN TO NOT LET THEM IN IN THE FIRST PLACE.” Please read that again and again! It is an infallible principle of spiritual warfare both personally and nationally. It is easier […]
God has a glorious purpose for each one of our lives. We read in Ephesians 1:11 about all of our lives, “…having been predestined according to HIS PURPOSE Who works ALL THINGS after the counsel of His will.” More than impressive when we read those words, far more. God’s purpose for us is so all-encompassign, […]
Nothing to man, even to religious man, is so torturous as having to pray with tongue-in-cheek that God-awful prayer of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, when He prayed to His Heavenly Father in Luke 22:42, “…not My will, but Thine be done.” Not mine, but Thine! What a raucous prayer rhyme that is for […]
Let’s get to a more than basic Christian-life principle here, and that is that there are those times that God’s will for our lives may not strike us as positive thinking or even possibility thinking. It may appear to us to be absolutely negative and impossible. Let’s be very clear up front! God’s plans for […]
Paul in I Corinthians 3 is WRITING TO A PENTECOSTAL CHURCH. Of course, the entire New Testament Church was Pentecostal. 1. Frankly, Paul is writing to the MOST PENTECOSTAL CHURCH in the whole of the New Testament! 2. And, when you get into what he says to this PENTECOSTAL CHURCH, it is ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING! -Here […]
The Holy Spirit of God is drawing the sharpest line of spiritual and moral demarcation more clearly than at any other time in the history of the United States. It is more than just a bold line, rather, it is also a widening chasm between righteousness and rot, light and darkness, freedom and slavery. It […]
Thanksgiving 2013 will be especially gratitude-to-God filled and overflowing in our family. We read in James 1:17, “Every good thing bestowed and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with Whom there is no variation or shadow of shifting.” Praise God from Whom all blessings flow! It has been […]
Bloodline, ancestry, and roots mean a great deal to the sophisticated and the upper crust of societies. To be able say that you are from the Rockefellers or the Kennedys is an immediate feather in your Stetson, and a huge boost to the ego. I am reminded of the film Titanic when drifter Jack Dawson […]
People – DON’T BE FRIGHTENED BY THE BOOK OF THE REVELATION! So many people get a LITTLE WEIRD WITH THIS BOOK! To many people, the Book of Revelation: 1. Is a Book of DRAGONS, AND BEASTS, AND CREEPY-CRAWLY CREATURES! 2. Is a book of THINGS THAT GO BOOGEY, BOOGEY, AND BUMP IN THE NIGHT! 3. […]
At the HEART: 1. OF ALL PRAISE IS WORSHIP! 2. OF OUR RELATIONSHIP TO THE LORD IS WORSHIP! 3. Of ALL OF LIFE IS WORSHIP! I. People, remember, this at the very outset: “ANYBODY CAN PRAISE THE LORD WHEN IT IS GOING WELL! BUT WHEN THE ROOF CAVES IN, AND WE PRAISE GOD AS NEVER […]
You go to someone and say, “YOU KNOW, YOU ARE ONE OF A KIND!” Or again, “YOU KNOW, YOU TOP THEM ALL.” THE PROPHET DANIEL records that very thing in the mouth of a HEATHEN KING mind you. Nebuchadnezzar, yes King Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon: a. REMEMBER HIM? HE WAS HAVING VIVID DREAMS! HEAVY DREAMS! […]
Turn with me first of all to Rev. 7:9-12, Verse 9 – “AFTER THIS I BEHELD, AND LO, A GREAT MULTITUDE, WHICH NO MAN COULD NUMBER, OF ALL NATIONS, AND KINDRED’S, AND PEOPLES, AND TONGUES, STOOD BEFORE THE THRONE AND BEFORE THE LAMB, CLOTHED WITH WHITE ROBES, AND PALMS IN THEIR HANDS.” Verse 10 – […]
