    To accept one another, we are to concentrate on the essentials.

    Last Good Friday, nineteen men were crucified in San Pedro Cutud, Pampanga. This Easter crucifixion tradition is “an extreme form of penance”[1] or trying to cleanse oneself from sin. It is good that the Roman Catholic Church expressed disapproval to the practice. According to a priest, “The church ...read more

    This is a study into Job chapter thirteen.

    Job continues his response to Zophar. Job’s response to Zophar takes three chapters.

    The movies "Twilight" and "New Moon", not to mention the Harry Potter series, have captured the minds of this generation of young people. We have tried to sanitise demons by putting them in love stories.

    Genesis 6:1-5 speaks of giants. But where they demonic, angelic beings of giant size?   1. My child towers above me, and what are those things growing out of his back? Witchcraft and demonic figures like vampires are being popularized today as being very acceptable. The movies "Twilight" and ...read more

    This message was specific for our situation however you may find nuggets. It deals with worldliness, and young christians letting their eyes be drawn off Jesus.

    Peace is something that we long for but seems so elusive. How can we find lasting peace in the midst of a world full of conflict.

    I read an article the other day that suggested that 95% of recorded history includes stories of war and/or national violence. That statistic is staggering isn’t it? A quick glance at national and international news would indicate this truth. The world seems to be in constant conflict! ...read more

    Brother against brother. Father against son. Son against father. It was a war that was anything but "civil". Wars are inevitable. What if we could learn to fight fair? What if we could wage civil wars?

    Civil Wars 
Pt. 4 - War and Peace I. Introduction
 The Civil War is an incredibly painful moment in the history of our country. The name is misleading. The war was not civil. It was bloody. It was brutal. Sons and fathers and brothers killed their own family members as battle lines ...read more

    Game of Thrones Pt. 3 - Mixture Introduction After 1 year we have finally come to the final battle in the attack on the 5 principalities that I identified for us. We have fought isolation, poverty, hopelessness and apathy. Now we square off against compartmentalism. Compartmentalism is pervasive ...read more

    Following the rise of the anti-Christ, the world will experience tribulation unlike any previous encounter. Jesus offered warnings concerning the time following the abomination of desolation.

    The anti-Christ and Tribulation (Part 2) Matthew 24: 15-22 In our previous study we considered the rise of anti-Christ on the global scene.
