    Every year we see American culture feed the flesh and cling to the world view of celebrating Christmas, which is the surmise of misrepresenting a person’s good name. This is especially true of Saint Nicholas, who is referred to now by the modern-day name, Santa Claus.

    Brothers and sisters, if you are in Christ today, if you are born a second time, a new being, with the Sacred Spirit within you, and it’s really real, then you are closer to me than my own flesh and blood family. We are family by the Spirit of God.

    Preaching about hell is no longer in vogue but it is an incredible warning to our God-defying world.

    When the great English preacher, Charles Spurgeon, taught homiletics to his student preachers, he coached them on preaching about heaven and hell. He said that they should look joyful when they preached of heaven, but their regular face would do when they spoke of hell. Years ago, preachers ...read more
