    The purpose of prayer is NOT to let God know something He does not know. It is to open us to His free gift.

    Thursday of Pentecost Week 2015 Joy of the Gospel In my opinion, one of the mistakes made in the seventies was the elimination of the Octave of Pentecost, and the changing of the season “after Pentecost” to what is now called “Ordinary Time.” That’s a perfectly awful ...read more

    Light dawns for the righteous, and joy is sown for the upright in heart (Psalm 97:11).

    A PSALM OF PROCLAMATION. Psalm 97:1-12. I. This Psalm is not just another enthronement Psalm: but a declaration of the One whose kingdom has been - and is being, and will yet be - revealed in creation, providence, and redemption. “The LORD reigns” (Psalm 97:1) - not because I say so, or because ...read more

    When you go into battle and one will be in battle against Satan we must fight, when you go into battle there will be overwhelming obstacles, when you go into battle let the Priest go before you, you need qualifications, and remember the assurances.

    The Greatest Commandment Of All

     | 6,616 views

    We are to love God with all our lives, including our work. Doing so restricts our activity to the straight and narrow path that God has created for us to walk on. It is the basis of our obedience to God.

    A few years ago, Billy Graham answered a letter in his daily newspaper column from someone who was upset that churches and charities don’t pay a cent in taxes. The writer was upset that he had to “pay until it hurts”. In his reply, Dr. Graham said that if all the food banks, ...read more

    God Will Provide

    We are called on to act in a manner that pleases God. Elijah’s actions did not please God, but God still gave him what he needed to persevere in faith. We are called on to be united in Christ. We are to be one body that is wholly obedient to God.

    The events we read about in 1 Kings 19:1-9 occur just after Elijah and God have won the challenge against the gods of Baal. As a result of the deaths of the prophets of Baal, Queen Jezebel threatened to kill Elijah. Elijah has been forced to flee for his life. Elijah was discouraged. He had faced ...read more

    In a passage that describes Jesus' teaching about our response to injustice and requests for loans, we must remember that Jesus is describing His own life.

    Monday of 11th Week in Course 18 June 2012 Verbum Domini The Word of God is not some naive program to comfort humans in their preconceptions.

    It is not an act of love to tell those who are committing grave sin that their actions are OK. We must respect human dignity like the Ugandan martyrs.

    Reflection D.5 / Does God Have A Purpose In Coronavirus? Revelation. The Four Horsemen.

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jun 12, 2020
     | 1,586 views

    When did the four horsemen in Revelation 6 set out? After Christ's ascension? In the future? Or, conceivably, in our time? Our view on this question makes a big difference to how we view 'End Times'.

    At this point I feel as though I’m at a fork-in-the-road moment. We’re in Revelation 6. I have to keep reminding myself of why I am doing these Reflections. My goal is to ‘diagnose’ coronavirus. I am considering two possible ‘diagnoses.’ The first ‘diagnosis’ is that coronavirus is a random ...read more

    It is past time that the disciples of Jesus Christ start fighting for the Kingdom of God. We must fight back against the wokeness that is trying to destroy to the church.

    Disciples Must Spread the Gospel Mark 14:1-2 Rev. Dr. Michael H.

     | 2,701 views

    In this message Dr. Vorce presents a foundational look at the Power of the Blood of Jesus. Without His blood there would be no redemption from sin.

    The Apostle Peter uses a beautiful phrase to describe the blood of Christ. THE “PRECIOUS” BLOOD OF CHRIST “You know that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver and gold….But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless..” I Peter 1:18-19 ...read more
