    Every aspect of the Christian life -- salvation, sanctification (being cleansed and made holy), our home in heaven being made ready for us, everything -- is ours because Christ’s work is done. He is seated in the heavenlies at the right hand of God...

    The Spiritual Battle 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil ...read more

    When Jonah preached to Nineveh, there was no nice building, comfortable seats, no music, nothing listener friendly, no Holy Spirit like the day of Pentecost, the preaching was lousy & Jonah didn't care if they got saved. But it was the greatest revival ever!

    The enemy mocking and hissing at a defeated and downtrodden people was the delight of passers-by, but persecuted Christians suffer that today increasingly. It’s an ugly world when sin is in control. Wickedness these days is galloping. Do not oppose the Jew or Israel.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 10 – A DEFEATED NATION MOCKED AND HISSED AT – GOD’S WORD NEVER RETURNS EMPTY - CHAPTER 2:15-17 Jeremiah is sometimes called “the weeping prophet,” and I like to think of him as one of the most passionate writers in the Old Testament, in fact, in all of scripture. ...read more

     | 7,627 views

    Many folks are ignorant about the national holidays this country has set aside for us to observe. Veterans day is one of them.

    If you ask some why we observe this day as a national holiday, they know it has something to do with the military, but they do not understand the significance of it. Illus: They remind me of a young man that took his girl friend to her first football game. They arrived at the game when the two ...read more

    We live in a nation where respect and honor are not top priorities. For example, respect for the elderly is something today that is missing in our society.

    . We see a lot of rudeness, and much of it is directed toward the elderly. Illus: Did you hear about the grandmother that was going to ride a bus downtown with her grandson?

When I said that I didn’t know what we’d do on Sunday afternoon if he didn’t show up, you let out a belly laugh. You assumed I was talking about ...read more
