    Claiming Jesus' return is imminent is not the say as claiming His return is "soon". A preterist look at His prophetic "I am" declaration (which was given the last Sunday of the year, 2012)

    Well (no surprise), the Mayan apocalypse didn’t happen, but let’s talk about the real one. I heard a prominent minister say with great conviction--that with all the wickedness in the world, the breakdown of society, natural disasters, and the turmoil in the Middle East--Jesus is ...read more

    Part 2 of 5 in a series on our identity in Christ based on the words of the Apostle Paul in Romans 8.

    INTRODUCTION: In life there are times that each of us desires to do the right thing, make the right decisions, but we feel powerless to do so. Our determination only takes us so far, our focus only keeps us centered for so long, and then we fail, which causes us to wonder why we continue to do what ...read more

    Don't Teach The Gospel

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Sep 16, 2012
     | 3,060 views

    Christians aren't called to teach to the world, because the world is essentially unteachable. However, we can reach the world through our witness, the authentic living of a Christ-like life.

    Who here is a teacher? St. James tells us, “Not many of you should presume to be teachers…because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly” (Jas. 3:1). Who presumes to be one? Anyone want to be judged? Nodody? Well, I guess that, to escape any additional judgment ...read more

    Ordinary Proper 22: Our individualistic orientation as a culture has brought many ills upon us. Among those is the deterioration of the family. This message looks at Jesus’ teaching on the intention of God for men and women and children.

    Leonard Sweet, professor of theology at Drew University was the keynote speaker at a theological convocation that I attended last fall. Part of Dr. Sweet’s message focused on the rampant individualism that has become so much a part of our culture. Here is a paraphrase of part of what he said: ...read more

    One of the most dangerous places to find yourself as a Christian is thinking you are more mature than you really are. This was one of the main reasons the Corinthian church had so many problems and may be a reason you are not moving forward in your walk.

    I have a granddaughter, little Maya. She is our first grandchild and, of course, she is the cutest baby on planet earth. Up until now Maya has only known her mama's milk as her food.
