Jesus said you are with me or against me (Matt 12:30). There is no neutral. You either see the world and life from a biblical worldview or from a satanic worldview. Either there is One True God and One source of absolute truth that exists outside of you; or you operate by a satanic worldviewContinue reading “The Devil doesn’t care if you are happy or sad….”

If Jesus is Lord…He is to be Lord of all.
Revival seems to be sweeping our country! I have seen and heard of so many salvations lately! 🙌🏻 Jesus came for the messed up sinner. I am one of them. Yes, we love that He ran after the prodigal, ate with the tax collectors, and stepped in to prevent the stoning of the woman caughtContinue reading “If Jesus is Lord…He is to be Lord of all.”
Keep Telling The Truth!
God hates lies (Prov 12:22). The devil is the father of all lies (John 8:44). He often uses lies in order to fulfill his goal to rob, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). I’ve seen this play out this year as lies have impacted our family, our church, and our nation. I understand more than everContinue reading “Keep Telling The Truth!”
A strange passage and real PEACE…
For years, I had read this somewhat strange passage and wondered what it meant— “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it swept and putContinue reading “A strange passage and real PEACE…”
Keep on. For those you love and those you may never meet.
Ministry is hard. There has been more than once I’ve wanted to stop sharing about Jesus, and pull away, and just love those who are easy to love and believe what I believe about the faith and the Word. Recently, I’ve been tossing and turning with thoughts of escaping to a desert island, because, asContinue reading “Keep on. For those you love and those you may never meet.”
Lord ? or just advisor?
Many, who like to think themselves progressive, and think that’s a good thing, suggest the New Testament is all about love not about rules or law. But in Matthew 5:17, Jesus made it clear that He did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it. He asserted that God’s laws should be followedContinue reading “Lord ? or just advisor?”
Knowing Who He is and what He did…Isn’t Enough.
Those two criminals.Bleeding.Bruised.Guilty. In the Savior’s final moments, one criminal hung on each side of Him. Those two represent all of us. We are each likeoneor the otherof them. It’s no accident, this true picture. There they were.So close to Jesus.Can you imagine? They both knew who He was.But only one of them would beContinue reading “Knowing Who He is and what He did…Isn’t Enough.”
Good Friday. How could this be good?
The picture is horrific. Our eyes want to turn away. We know. We’ve heard the story. We’ve been told, it’s not about bunnies but about a bloody cross. That day, that Good Friday, that day that looked anything but “good” – that day everything changed. Early in the morning on the day Jesus would beContinue reading “Good Friday. How could this be good?”
Maundy Thursday
No Other Way THURSDAY The day before Jesus would die. The precious Messiah bends down to wash His disciple’s feet then takes the bread and the cup of Passover with the men in the upper room… knowing, full well, He would soon be their perfect Lamb. The Lamb. The Perfect Lamb… soon it would beContinue reading “Maundy Thursday”
Palm Sunday. It makes no sense.
With smiles on their faces and exuberant expectation, the crowds waved the palm branches shouting, “Hosanna” which literally means, “Save Please!” and then, just a while later, that same crowd would scream, “Crucify Him!” And we question, how could they so quickly change? How could they question the famous one, the Miracle Maker, who hadContinue reading “Palm Sunday. It makes no sense.”
Felix’s Last Chance?
The past few days, I’ve written a lot about asking God to help us identify sin, flee from it and rejoice in His forgiveness. But the vast majority of those around us rarely give this a thought. So many, who hold on to this world, think they have many, many chances left to think aboutContinue reading “Felix’s Last Chance?”
You are an OVERCOMER if you BELIEVE this…
And YOU are an overcomer…if you are born of God, if you believe— “For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?” (1 John 5:4-5) InContinue reading “You are an OVERCOMER if you BELIEVE this…”
Only Two Types of People
“Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him.”I John 5:1 John has been talking extensively about loving others but reminds us that loving others does not earn our salvation when he says, “whoever believes that JesusContinue reading “Only Two Types of People”
Uncomfortable Truth
The beloved disciple of Jesus, John, seems to be repeating himself, but perhaps he is reinforcing this very big point…you can’t keep on walking in sin as if it is no big deal. If you can, you may not be a child of God— Remember, John’s audience is the young church—believers. But, as in anyContinue reading “Uncomfortable Truth”
Sin should be as attractive to you as dog POOP!
Do you have a heart that cares to keep the Word of God? Are you intentional to repent (turn from your sins) and walk in God’s better ways as defined in His Word? If so, this is evidence of fellowship with God and salvation in your life —“But whoever keeps His word, truly the loveContinue reading “Sin should be as attractive to you as dog POOP!”
If sin doesn’t bother you, are you really a Christian?
“My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous”. (1 John 2:1) John addresses the Christians who would read his letter with the compassion of a loving Father. John rightly characterizes sin as dangerousContinue reading “If sin doesn’t bother you, are you really a Christian?”
Are we ALL God’s children?
Though, we promote inclusivity, and we should when it comes to living peacefully with others, and though it is surely not politically correct to say what I’m about to say, we need to be clear on this. The worldly line that we are all God’s children is a lie. It sounds good, but it’s simplyContinue reading “Are we ALL God’s children?”
My Son is Saved! Listen to his words
So many of you have prayed for my son! Thank you! What a Savior!! He pursues the lost and the prodigal! He brings salvation and peace! Nothing is too hard for Him (Luke 1:37). I pray that Will’s words at his baptism yesterday will encourage others to run to Jesus! Let’s keep praying for eachContinue reading “My Son is Saved! Listen to his words”
Did you really celebrate the Christ of Christmas?
Many of you may have celebrated communion at a Christmas Eve service recently. Long ago, Jesus broke the bread of Passover but instead of using the long familiar words to His Jewish disciples, He shockingly says, “this is My body” and “this is My blood”. (Matt 26:26-29). He was declaring Himself to be the PerfectContinue reading “Did you really celebrate the Christ of Christmas?”
Merry Christmas! What a Savior!
For unto us is born a Savior! (Luke 2:11) For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son to rescue us. (John 3:16) Jesus came as a humble servant, setting aside His glory to live among us. (Phil 2:7-9) He walked our dusty roads and felt our pain. He allowed Himself toContinue reading “Merry Christmas! What a Savior!”
