    It is OK to bury the dead. If your church is dead, join with another one and repurpose your building or sell it giving the money to poor, missions or something useful.

    Revelation 3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. Churches are failing. Some due to neglect of the pastor and congregation. Some ...read more

    Talk Is Cheap

    Actions or works may not create faith but they can reveal the substance and form of a person’s faith. To me, works is our faith made visible. “For just as a body without the spirit is dead” … a corpse … “so faith without works is also dead” … a corpse (James 2:26).

    [Put up picture of me on screen.] Let me tell you a little bit about that man in the photo. He was 40 years old when that picture was taken. He was 20 months sober at the time. Well … “sober” is not the right word. He was a dry drunk” … which means that he hadn’t picked up a drink in 20 ...read more

    Ministers Or Morticians?

    based on 15 ratings
     | 3,888 views

    Are we ministers of life unto life experiencing the power of God to win souls and edify the saints? Or are we morticians just dressing the corpse and polishing the casket?

    I am off to another funeral in a bit but I was pondering while I was getting ready on a thing that I typically hear at viewings/funerals. "They look so good!" "They look like they should get up and walk out of here." "They look better than when I last saw ...read more

    No corpse can work his way into life. He just can’t do it. He is dead. He has got to receive the life before he works.

    The Christian life is just summed up in Grace but the devil doesn’t want you to know that. The devil doesn’t want you to believe that. What the devil wants to do is to try to mix together grace and works. And when we try to mix together grace and works, then grace is not grace at all. ...read more

    Baptism pictures the transformation that has taken place in the life of the child of God. How can we, then, continue to live as thought we were dead? To live as the world lives is to attempt to dig up the corpse we buried!

    “What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in ...read more
