    The Bible starts with a speaking God. The shapeless, hopeless, dark earth became live, beautiful and fruitful even the Holy God could say, it was good!. When someone responds to God in faith and in obedience supernatural things would happen!. Truly a transformation takes place!

    From the very first page of the Scriptures, we learn that our God is a God who speaks. God’s speech sets him apart from false idol gods who have a mouth but cannot speak. Psalms 115:3-7 Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him. But their idols are silver and gold, made by human hands. ...read more

     | 12,120 views

    In the brief scope of just one verse, Romans 1:18, Paul presents several features that characterize the wrath of God.

    Scripture Today, we continue our study of Paul’s letter to the Romans at Romans 1:18. Romans 1:1-17 is essentially an introduction to Paul’s letter to the Romans, whereas Romans 1:18 begins the “body” of the letter. Several years ago I listened to an interview on the radio.

    Spiritual Warfare

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 1, 2021

    We must band together as an army to fight the evil of Satan. Satan is roaming free in part because the church is so fractured that it cannot come together for this cause.

    The church interpretation of the feeding of the 5,000 in Mark 6:33-44 has always been about the miracle that only Jesus could take five loaves of bread and two fish and make it feed all those people. Unfortunately, this methodology of telling people the meaning of Scripture as black and white does ...read more

    The subjective ever-changing cultural mores continue to creep into the church to replace the Bible as the final and absolute authority in the life of the Born-Again Christian.

    The mother of a high school student told me that a few kids in the youth group said they were non-binary (also known as ENBY or NB) and were questioning the Bible about its two sexual gender emphasis. That disturbed me deep in my spirit which led to this message. I started ministry decades ...read more
