    To so many, the mystery of this event brings a magic to their celebration like none other. Let’s unwrap the greatest Christmas gift ever given and discover the REAL REASON for the SEASON... Why was Jesus Born?

    I think that we both would agree that Christmas is more than the cards and gifts, more than the trees and lights, more than family and food. There is a much deeper meaning, a much more fulfilling notion than that of a fat, bearded man on a sleigh. It is the birth of the Christ child: the true ...read more

    Many people make the mistake of reading what the Bible says in Exodus 20:13, “You shall not kill,” and then seek to apply this command to war.

    Fight We Must Revelation 12:7-17 Message: It’s not easy to explain why we have war in our world or to explain what the Bible says about war. In my study of this issue I found this explanation helpful from “gotquestions.org.” “Many people make the mistake of reading what ...read more

    Christians are to put off the old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires and put on the new self created to be like God!

    Sometime this morning, you decided you were going to go to church. And so, you decided what to wear to church and you put on the clothes you are wearing now. We do this daily don’t we?

    Speaking and praying in the spirit builds up our spirit, soul and body.

    1Cor.14:4 He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself… Many Charismatics believe that when you speak in tongues, you edify or build up your spirit man. Well, that is only one-third true. The Bible does not say that the speaker edifies his spirit, it says that the speaker “edifies ...read more

     | 2,292 views

    In 1910, evangelist Dr. R.A. Torrey presented a series of revival messages, that are still powerful in their ability to make people think about their souls and the need for a Savior. This is a revision of one of those messages given before an audience in Edwardian England, still relevant today.

    The Scriptures do not soothe ruffled feelings nor do they strengthen egos devoid of belief in or trust of God. An atheist is, in God's eyes, a FOOL (Psalm 14:1). Human pride and self-centeredness are roadblocks we set up with help from the enemy of our souls to deafen and blind ourselves to ...read more
