    Jesus took our place that we might have His peace, He took our sin that we might have His salvation therefore our sense to sin will always be in proportion to our nearness to God and the best way to face life’s changes is to look to the unchanging God.

    Ecclesiastes 9:3: “This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.” Nowadays, we have a lot of people who are ...read more

    The legalists wanted to subject the Galatian Christians to circumcision (as a means of earning favor with God), so Paul addresses the issue one last time by relating it to the work of Christ on the cross and his own ministry.

    Scripture It was Paul’s custom, after dictating a letter to an amanuensis, which is a secretary, to take a pen and write his own farewell. His standard signature was, “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you” (cf. 1 Thessalonians 5:28; 2 Thessalonians 3:17-18). But Paul is so concerned ...read more

    There are a lot of things that distract us in this life - but if we are not careful we may drift past the most important thing ever.

    The Israelites had a problem almost throughout their history - they were easily distracted. It was hard for them to keep on the central and important things. In the wilderness they focused on what they were eating or not eating, rather than focusing on obeying and getting to know this God who had ...read more

    When you come face to face with the King: 1. You have to understand who you are. 2. You have to understand your options. 3. You have to understand that there is only one option.

    Kings at War Luke 14:25-33 There used to be a Visa commercial on TV that had a young tough telling his gorgeous girlfriend that he wanted everyone to know he loved her.

    Thanksgiving message preached at National Baptist Memorial Church, Washington, DC. The Psalmist gives us insight to value the gifts of salvation, deliverance, life, and quiet.

    Quickly now, how many more shopping days until Christmas? I am not sure either, but I am confident that by the end of this week the stores will be reminding us that we have only a limited amount of time to sacrifice at the Temple of Target or the Shrine of Sears.

    How the church can develop a passion for fulfilling her mission

    COWBOY FOOTBALL Well, God is still in control. I learned that this past Monday night. God still is a Cowboy fan, I’m convinced.

    What does the Bible have to say about Iraq? You might be surprized to find that the Bible is filled with references to Iraq, from Genesis to Revelation. There is a pattern that can be seen as far back as 820 BC. The spiritual forces there are continuing

    Saddam and the Prince of Persia 4-06-03 The backlash against our government’s stand against Iraq has caused me to wonder what is going on in the spiritual realm. Perhaps I am naïve or uninformed, but it doesn’t seem to be that complicated. There is a tyrant that brutally attacked a neighboring ...read more

    The Savior meets us right where we are.

    It may seem a little unnecessary at first...sort of stating the obvious, to call Jesus “Master Evangelist”. The word evangelist means, ‘messenger’, or ‘one sent out’, and He is the one who has sent out every messenger of God; whether man or angels. Since it is His message that they bring; ...read more

    The love of God as well as His might and power is vividly portrayed in the prophecy of Malachi. Malachi leaves us with feeling that the story is not yet finished.
