Living together is for married life not before Marriage! By : Shaila D Touchton God's plan for a successful marriage is that it should be an exclusive sexual relationship with one person, for life. A New Man...A New Job By : Glenn Washburn It was incredible enough that God would send His only Son into the world to walk among us as one of us. That He would allow Him to die in order to pay our penalty was even more incredible. But His decision to place in my heart a desire to know and love Him was beyond belief. I mean, there I was, a living-for-the-weekend guy, wondering where I was going to find some money to buy some “weed” and a six-pack. Then all of a sudden I’m a child of the King standing in the light of His love! Fear of God By : Glenn Washburn There are two kinds of fear mentioned in the Bible from which all other fear is born: Servile and Filial. One kind of fear will imprison us and one will free us. It is two fears for two masters. One will make you a slave and one will make you a son. It is best to know which is which! The Eternal Nature of God By : Greg Baker God is eternal. But what does that mean? It is easy to conceive of a God without end, but to conceive of a God without any beginning is difficult. But even that is rudimentary at best. The eternal nature of God, of Jesus, and of His Holy Spirit is truly something we have just begun to touch on. Why You Don’t Want A God You Can Completely Understand By : Greg Baker I hear all the time from people that until they understand God, they won’t believe either Him or in Him. I have a question for them: Why would you want such a God? There is a very, very good reason you would not. Why Do I Get So Angry By : Greg Baker Ever wonder why you get so angry? It seems that no matter what happens, you get angry about it. There is a little known, but very obvious secret, to understanding your anger. Knowing this will allow you much greater control over your anger problem. The Journey By : robbwb And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed. Deut. 31:8. Jesus' Names/Jesus' Offices By : Sylvia Huffnagle I’m glad people are grateful for Calvary, but there is more to Jesus’ contributions than that. Jesus did a lot of things to insure our salvation before He went to Calvary and His job doesn’t stop there by any means. Let me tell you about Jesus’ offices. Is the Virgin Mary Mother of God? By : Arthur Policarpio Is the Virgin Mary truly Mother of God, and not just Mother of the human nature of Jesus? This article summarizes the Catholic teaching on the Divine Motherhood of the Virgin Mary. Water, Light and Abiding By : Glenn Washburn Jesus says, “You’ve heard the rumors, you’ve read the stories, you’ve seen the movie…now come and sit and I’ll tell you who Jesus really is. Forget what you’ve heard…forget what you think you know and I’ll tell you who I really am." And what he says will produce a dramatic reaction in all who hear it. With two words He will blow away the middle ground and they and us will have to decide which way to jump: away from Jesus or toward Him. Who Has Eternal Life? By : Sylvia Huffnagle This article is to show how to understand the scriptures and in this case, who the Bible says has eternal life. Pursue God's True Doctrine, Not Denominations. By : Shaila D Touchton Denominations do nothing more than bring doubt to the minds of unbelievers. What Do We Owe Him? By : Glenn Washburn Jesus was co-creator of the entire universe, the Son of the living God, the Prince of heaven and commander-in-chief of the multitude of the heavenly host. He gave it all up to become the most vulnerable of all creatures: a human baby. What are we willing to do for Him in return? Jesus' Words By : Sylvia Huffnagle Jesus makes distinctions where the church does not. This has led to great confusion and false doctrine. Annother Balance Message By : Sylvia Huffnagle In the Biblical balance the believer is to live for God, but God created man to gratify His joy in giving. You can’t out give the giver, in fact God would not be happy with children who acted like servants. He is happy with children who are eager to serve, but He is not looking for a Master/servant relationship with people, He wants a Father/child relationship with people When God Raises Up a Ruler By : Sylvia Huffnagle When God raises up a ruler, He has a purpose for them. Their choices will determine their purpose and their future. Dont Be Deceived, Ask Questions By : Pastor Tim Davis There is a popular saying; If you don't ask, how are you going to know? You've probably heard it many times. It's a true saying to a major degree in that knowledge has to be sought. We aren't born with it. And if you don't seek knowledge from the right source, you are more apt to be deceived. Are You Afraid To Back Up Your Beliefs? By : Pastor Tim Davis It isn’t limited to the Christian world. There are many who believe various things about how we were created or came to be. There are those, including myself who believe wholly in the biblical account of creation. Then there are some who believe that Darwinism (which I believe is a religion in it’s self) is the only plausible answer. In the realm of how the universe came to be there are those that there was this Big Bang. On my end of the spectrum, who exactly lit the fuse? The End Of Time By : Pastor Tim Davis eschatology n : the branch of theology that is concerned with such final things as death and judgment; heaven and hell; the end of the world. In the Christian world, there are four basic doctrines or teachings concerning the End Times. Below is a description of each. The Work of the Cross By : Sylvia Huffnagle The church leaders of our day are trying to motivate people to walk in love, faith, and unity so that the impending hard times won’t hit them so hard. That sounds good--very good, but if the problem is a faulty call to salvation whereby hearts are not completely won over to God’s point of view, the called for results are not possible. For God made it all not only possible, but doable, through the work of the cross. The Great Bible Deception By : Pastor Tim Davis By the end of the first century, the New Testament had been completed and distributed among the churches in Sardis, Laodicea, Philadelphia, Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, and the largest concentration in Antioch. These were the letters (epistles) and Gospels written by the Apostles and Luke the physician. The language used to write these letters and epistles was the common Greek language of the day. The Good Shepherd - Ezek: 34 By : Sylvia Huffnagle The purpose of this article is not the criticize any shepherds. It is intended to be a wake up call. Let every shepherd compare his ministry to God’s description of the job and let every shepherd have the same ambitions as the Lord does. There's No Place Like Home By : Adam Avery The Sacred Ambition Of Enjoying Your Life A Conversation About Discipline By : Jamie Harrington So far on this journey, the Lord has immediately brought to my mind the necessity for discipline if I truly want to know Him better. Great is His Faithfulness By : Jamie Harrington I hope you accepted my challenge to join me on this journey to commit the next 100 days, wrapped in God’s word with open ears to hear Him and an open heart filled with obedience to Him. 100 Days with Jesus By : Jamie Harrington Have you ever wondered how much difference it would make in your life if you committed the same energy and enthusiasm to knowing God that you commit to making money and becoming successful? Being Committed to Strengthening Your Walk with Jesus By : Jamie Harrington Being Committed to Strengthening Your Walk with Jesus Et too, Brutus? By : Sylvia Huffnagle Christians must use discernment about where to fault a doctrine and where not to. If it is blatant rejection of scripture teaching then Christians should stand against it. But if it’s a matter of one group reasoning away a previously agreed way of looking at things and another group sticking to it, I say that’s their right and privilege and it’s not the rest of us’s business to belittle their doctrines. Cold Miner Preacher By : Charles Cold Miner Preacher is a modern day parable. Here, you will see a fictitious earthly story with a heavenly meaning. Here, a rough cold miner, finds Gods Grace, by way of an unusual twist. Part 3 The mask is ripped off exposing the evil By : Richard Turner The mask is ripped off exposing the evil underneath. The wilderness Part 2 b continuation By : Richard Turner Tactics of the enemy The wilderness Part 2 a continuation By : Richard Turner Home spiritual The wilderness Part 2 By : Richard Turner While men slept, the enemy came and sowed tares among them. The wilderness Part 1 continuation By : Richard Turner deceit The wilderness Part 1 By : Richard Turner deceit What is The Lords Supper? By : Pastor Tim Davis The Lords Supper is a commandment from the Lord Jesus Christ himself! The Lord Jesus knew we would need to be reminded of His sacrifice because we tend to forget what it was really all about. Can A Christian Lose Their Salvation? By : Pastor Tim Davis There may be a problem today with Christians separating the Spiritual from the natural. What exactly do you believe is saved when we are Saved? Is The Enemy All Powerful? By : Pastor Tim Davis Satan is not all powerful, nor able to be everywhere all at once. If he were he would be as God is and there is only ONE GOD! And Satan, if he were all powerful would make himself more visible to us! What is Biblical Christianity By : Sylvia Huffnagle To explain the spirit of a biblical Christian and church. How much do we love God? By : Rod Smith We say we love God, we sing it also, but do our actions support the words? Today’s Apostasy: Inventing Doctrine By : ReturningKing.com Concerning today’s massive population of false teachers, scripture also offers several texts which warn us of the propensity of these teachers to teach outside of the Word of God. While these texts do not speak specifically about a latter day apostasy, they do speak volumes concerning the very nature of false teachers; namely, where their doctrines come from and why they are to be avoided. Holy Spirit in the Earth By : Sylvia Huffnagle I use a teaching on Judges 19-21 to show how the Holy Spirit has changed the hearts of men in general just through the Christian influence throughout the earth. What About Evolution? By : Sylvia Huffnagle An inspiring explanation of evolution. Christianity - How It Really Is By : Sylvia Huffnagle I show from scripture what is expected of a Christian. Rich Toward God By : John Telman These are people who Jesus spoke of in the parable of the rich man. His many possessions did not make him rich or poor but his lack of God caused him to hoard. Make no mistake, he was poor. The Biblical View of Homosexuality- III By : Mishel Ketcheson Another issue regarding homosexuality that cannot, and should not, be avoided, is the fact that any attempt to “Christianize” it can only pervert God’s Word. And this attempt is undoubtedly one of the greatest agendas the homosexual community is pushing in the church world today. The Biblical View of Homosexuality- II By : Frances Swaggart Our society has seemingly embarked upon an all-out attempt to make homosexuality acceptable, and so we are compelled as watchmen to address its dangers. There were, in fact, many sins besides homosexuality going on in Sodom and Gomorrah, which contributed to the downfall of these cities, but it was the very nature of the particular sin we are addressing now that ultimately destroyed the life of this entire civilization. The Biblical View of Homosexuality- I By : Frances Swaggart I feel strongly impressed by the Holy Spirit to address the very delicate and controversial issue of homosexuality, not only homosexuality as society knows it to be, but God’s Biblical standard concerning it. I do not wish to speak from standards of my own making here nor the ethical standards of our modern culture, but from the standards of a Holy God who has asked me to reach out to all who will hear Him concerning this very critical issue of our time. The Hidden Agenda of the Order of the Mustard Seed By : Mishel Ketcheson Why, are so many of the ministries that seek to "take" the world for Christ, enraptured by the Moravians and why do the Moravians wield this kind of influence over this "New Breed" of Christian "emerging" in today's post modern church era? In order to understand the horrific significance of the resurrection of this Order and the overall draw of Zinzendorf's Moravians, it is first imperative to understand the history of this movement and how it fits together with today's stringent social and political agenda. The New Apostolic Reformation, Adam-Kadmon, and DNA By : Mishel Ketcheson Have you noticed lately that most of the big names in the Prophetic and Apostolic Movement are increasingly sprinkling the term DNA into their vocabulary? No longer content to hide their damnable heresies, they are brazenly flaunting their apostasy to the unsuspecting church through their use of double speak. It is a known fact that nothing is harder to find than something hidden in plain sight. Was Paul a Mystic By : Frances Swaggart We must actively seek to separate Christianity from the mystery religions. Our communion and connection with God comes through divine grace and the shed blood of Jesus and not through any spiritual exercises that we ourselves perform! Reacting to revelation is far different than conjuring these spiritual experiences through the practice of any of the mystic disciplines or contemplative traditions. If our spirituality is dependent upon anything that we ourselves perform then we are basing it on works and not on faith! Man's Purpose By : Frances Swaggart If we are not living holy lives, we are not fulfilling God's Purpose no matter how many religious functions we fulfill. You see, servanthood may be performed with or without the Lord. Therefore, servanthood in and of itself is not a definitive witness to the world. Holiness, on the other hand, demonstrates a miraculous change! It shows that a fallen sinner has been made a Saint. It shows that the curse has been reversed! Hallelujah! And this will inevitably point people to Calvary because they Sprits of Light By : Frances Swaggart "Light," it seems, has always been used as a metaphor for heightened, perhaps even spiritual, experiences and/or understandings. Often we hear people speak of being "enlightened." Some believed to possess spiritual empowerment have been called "illuminated." Is There More Than One Way to God By : Frances Swaggart The Bible makes it completely clear that Salvation comes by One Name only! Matthew 7:14 says, "Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it." Acts 4:12 says, "Neither is there Salvation in any other: for there is none other name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Two Christmas’s a year By : Jennifer Hallmark Christmas can be a time of great joy or great despair; packed with activities or very lonely. Our choices decide whether we celebrate Christmas or despise the holidays. Make a decision today to celebrate Christmas! The True Love of God By : Sylvia Huffnagle To show the difference between Obama's, and all others of his persuasion, love and God's love. Revelation… By : Jennifer Hallmark A sentence. One single sentence I read in a book recently has stuck in my mind for several days because of the truth it showed me. “Revelation is of no value without the wisdom and character to live it out.”** Reflect on this statement for a moment... Endued With Power From on High By : Sylvia Huffnagle I believe and will endeavor to show that God has endued us with power from on high to spread the gospel and be His witnesses and there is no other acceptable way. The Sovereignty of God By : John W. Simmons Why does God allow all the evil in the world? Why does God allow the chaos and destruction in the world that He made, and said, "It was good?" Why do bad things happen to His people? An Emerging Relativism By : ReturningKing.com “Relativism” is the philosophical concept that a certain aspect of one’s experience is dependent upon another. For example, one person may believe an individual to be beautiful while another person believes that same individual to be quite unsightly. In such cases, the application or understanding of beauty is indeed “relative” to the person interpreting it. In certain applications however, relativism is the philosophical enemy of the concept of “absolute truth,” (or universal truth) which God's Photo Album By : John Telman To worship like never before, we do well to focus on the pictures of who God is. He is far more than what we know of him, but in his awesome mercy and great heart, he has stooped to show us himself in ways we understand. Spiritual Eating Disorders By : DeBorrah K. Ogans In order to grow properly one must consume a nutritious balanced daily diet. It is often said “we are what we eat.” Eating is a natural normal everyday occurrence. Without a proper daily diet one can become malnourished. An unbalanced spiritual diet will result in a spiritual eating disorder. If you go without spiritual food; you will lack the proper skills to navigate through the spiritual maze of life! Why is the Media Silent on the Obama Birth Certificate Question? By : Rev Michael Bresciani Why has every major news source in the United States almost totally blacked out all reference to the Hawaiian Obama birth certificate controversy? God's Strange Army (5th in the Endtimes Series) By : Sylvia Huffnagle In Habakkuk, God explains why He is allowing the righteous to be over-powered by the unrighteous. It is so that He can snare the unrighteous in their own trap. Rest assured that the present evil day must be in order to usher in God's grand finale. Arise By : christperfect The time of harvesting is now; to harvest the great multitudes prepared by God Our Father. My dear, what is your call to service? To what area of divine service have you been called and redeemed by the blood of the lamb? Do you actually find it worth? Are you putting it to effective use or you are looking up to someone else, because you believe yours is too small?....... Let worship in Spirit and truth By : christperfect Achieving perfection in this very last hour is our very requirement. Dear, it is Our Father's heart desire that in this very last hour, while we are waiting for the glorious return of Christ, to prepare our lives completely for the LORD. Are you perpared for the Lord? By : christperfect Dear, Our Father requires that in this very last hour we prepare ourselves ready as a living sacrifice ......... Evolution, 150 years of lies and deceit? By : Windmill Ministries Is evolution a fact of life, a model or perhaps a deception? Modern evolutionary science still reveals many holes in the foundations of this theory and recent discoveries seem to point to more than just chance and time. Has evolution become a religion instead of an objective scientific theory? The Master Key to the Kingdom By : John Telman God was determined that he would have a people as subjects under his benevolent rule. It was his plan, his time, his way. Why Christians Should Be Involved in the Government Process. By : Sylvia Huffnagle Christians should get involved in goverment because unless godliness prevails, God cannot maintain the covering or protection over the nation. If ungodliness prevails this country goes down. Grace Beyond Salvation By : John Telman There is a persistent debate within the church about the place of grace and works. It is my contention that the reason for this is simply a poor understanding of what grace really is. Prophecies Indicating a Literal Millennial Kingdom By : ReturningKing.com It is the belief of some groups that the idea of a Millennial Kingdom (or “Messianic Kingdom” - a literal one-thousand year reign of Christ on Earth) is a product of the book of Revelation, only. This belief, contrary to that of the author, is that the book of Revelation is metaphorical in its content and should not be taken literally. Thus, they reject the idea of a literal Messianic Kingdom on Earth. If They Had Stood in My Council . . . (8th in Church Series) By : Sylvia Huffnagle To show that God is not happy with leaders who tell or otherwise imply that those who do their own thing after they receive the call to salvation are okay with Him. He wants leaders who will give the congregation His full council in His words so that it will have the power to produce very good fruit. It's Not Enough By : John Telman Nothing in this life is to come between us and God if we truly desire eternal life. Jesus said, “one thing you lack”. Who Christ is in Us By : John Telman It is not important that we impact the world. It is important that Christ impacts the world through us. The Inevitable Result By : Sylvia Huffnagle The inevitable result of a church being entangled in the affairs of the world and of enjoying worldly entertainment is that she will be turned aside from the course God had set for her. I give scriptures to show that the church was to carry on Jesus’ ministry and how it was to be done. Worship in Our Homes By : John Telman The people we live with are those who most likely know us better than anyone else. Do they know us as worshipers of a living God? 'In Christ' the Church is Built Together (3rd in Church Series) By : Sylvia Huffnagle To show that the church standards and calling have been lowered and that it is imperative to the body of Christ's spiritual health to raise the standard to biblical proportions again. Paying the Price By : Sylvia Huffnagle To show the spirit or attitude of those who have chosen life. To show that God's offer of salvation does not include an attitude of sneaking into the movies or in this case, the kingdom of heaven. The Rapture - To Be or Not To Be? By : Sylvia Huffnagle The verses I use below are not to prove that there will be a rapture of the true church because I know of no verse that proves that. I am using these verses to build a case for why I believe there will be a rapture of the true church. Inextricable Pairing of Inevitable Realities By : Felix Amiri Have you considered the eternal antithesis? What is the eternal antithesis? Have you ever given thought to the somewhat inextricable but diametrically opposed realities that we all face? Do you know that these are unavoidable? This article sheds a bit of light on these facts. The Father and the Son explained as two separate individuals, where the Father creats, calls and leads the Son, who in turns is absolutely obedient to his loving Father. By : Arnold Ahlstrom God the Father is the ruling Supreme Being. If it wasn't for the Father, Jesus would not have an eart to govern, there would be no people to save, the earth would still be empty, void and without form. actually, there wouldn't even be a Jesus. Why? Because God is the Father of Jesus in the eternal re Gays Need Truth Too - A Call to the Church By : Norma Klingler Have you ever heard the expression that if a lie is repeated enough times it will eventually be accepted as truth? A lie will always be a lie. One of the biggest lies permiating the church today is that some people are born homosexuals. There isn’t such a thing, folks!! To accept this lie is to accept that the perfect God who calls homosexuality detestable, made a mistake. An American Muslim President? By : Norma Klingler What can we learn from Esau's wrong choices Can you be a more effective soul winner? By : Micki Harjo God commands all of us to go out and spead the gospel. Are you capable of leading another person to Christ? How is your relationship with the Lord? In order to win another, you can not have a 1-2-3 repeat after me attitude, you need the power of the Holy Spirit behind you. Mom and Dad, You Are Called To Teach Your Kids Scripture By : Beverly Dixon As a parent God has commissioned us to teach our children His word. God has made a promise to us if we keep this commandment, in Proverbs 22:6 Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. A Time to Sow and a Time to Reap (3rd in the Sowing Series) By : Sylvia Huffnagle To show that there is a time to sow and a time to reap, meaning that the Word has to grow in a Christian before they can reap--be able to accomplish what they, the Bible, or others may want them to accomplish. God’s Anger - Does God Hold a Big Stick? By : Felix Amiri Even among Christians, there is often a subtle misunderstanding that “God will get you if you sin”. This portrays God’s anger as if it is a reaction of frustration or a vindictive response to sin. Is God’s anger ever out of frustration or is it ever vindictive? CREATED TO WORSHIP- on earth, in heaven or in hell By : Felix Amiri This article presents some answers to the usual questions concerning the purpose of life such as: Why did God create at all? Why did He not just create and leave us in heaven to worship Him? Why did He permit sin to come through Adam? Why is evil being permitted to take its course? Why do we have to go through our present life experiences? Then it poses the most crucial question for you and me. Christians Believe Differently By : Sylvia Huffnagle This article shows from scripture that believers should have one truth and be like-minded. It goes on the suggest what needs to be done in order to accomplish that. Christianity Vs Humanism By : Sylvia Huffnagle To show the futility of a Christless, Godless world view. Was The Bible Outdated Even In Biblical Times? By : Hannah Henderson Christians believe that in Old Testament times, God accepted the shed blood of sacrificed animals for the remission of sin. They now believe the practice was outlawed by the Lord during New Testament times, making it an outdated, non-existent practice beginning in Jesus' day which belongs to biblical times. This is a perfect example at which to take a look when considering the Bible's relevancy for today. The Bible On Reincarnation By : Hannah Henderson Bizarre events have caused some people, including Christians, who don't believe in reincarnation, to reconsider their stance. Does the Bible offer any answers? God is the God of Past, Present, and Future (5th in Balance Series) By : Sylvia Huffnagle To bring the teaching about the 'God of the now' into biblical balance. Step by Step By : Active for Him Is it really necessary to bring God into your health and fitness program ? Obviously yes! Look at all the weight loss products, systems, websites, programs and the plethora of books, DVDs and CDs on the subject just to get an idea of the enormity of this problem. Yet most people are still struggling with a weight issue. The Lord's Refining Fire By : Terry L. Brown It seems when most Christians think of fire from a biblical standpoint Satan or hell come to mind. Images of excruciating agony of the lost in the Lake of Fire and eternal torment make us shutter. Satan is thought of as the lord of hell. Is he? Is fire Satan's weapon of choice with hell the weapon of mass destruction? Read along with me and allow the Spirit to answer for us. God's Plan of Salvation (11th in Church Series) By : Sylvia Huffnagle To bring into the light God's words and thoughts about salvation, thus clarifying what man should think and believe. I recognize! By : Shaila D Touchton Below it states how we can Recognize God.! What the Bible say about Saints? By : Shaila D Touchton A collection of verses reffering to saints. Lighten Up? By : Sylvia Huffnagle To exhort Christians to practice comparing what people urge them to do with what God urges them to do and to exhort them to go with God.
