The song “Auld Lang Syne” originated in Scotland, composed as a light-hearted drinking song. The lyrics celebrate reminiscing with old friends the memories of the past, sharing a drink for good measure. Nostalgia can be an enemy to growth, because if we revel in our past we cannot let go. As Christians we should always […]
The history of the ordination of clergy is long and complex, too much to quickly explain and certainly beyond the scope of this blog. If you have been a reader of the King James Version of the Bible, when you see people being assigned to various positions in the Church, you will see words such […]
In the United States, for a long time it was usual to think of persecution as something that happens in other countries. Many thought that persecution of Christians would not happen here in the land of the free and the home of the brave. In the past several decades, however, this attitude began to change, […]
A Sanctuary is defined as a safe space for non-secular practices such as praise and worship. Boundaries are drawn to separate the ways of the world from the ways of God. Although a church goes beyond brick and mortar, the Bible includes strict plans of how a church should be constructed including the dimensions and […]
Many people, even a number of believers, are so busy with their lives that they seldom if ever take time just to notice the trees, the grass, the clouds, the sun, moon, and stars—nature itself. Secular science has turned the story of nature into a litany of lies about evolution and a collection of numbers, […]
2 Timothy 4:1-5: I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will […]
When you think of evil, do you envision darkness and death? When we think of the devil, we imagine something sinister: cloven hooves, red skin, and horns. Well, some do anyway, but the devil was once Lucifer; a beautiful angel of the Most High. In Ezekiel 28:13 we learn how beloved this angel was before […]
1 Thessalonians 5:17: …pray without ceasing,… Hebrews 13:3: Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also. 2 Thessalonians 3:1-2: Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you, and […]
One big topic in today’s politically correct, morally corrupt landscape is inclusivity. According to secularists and apostate Christianity alike, inclusivity means accepting people regardless of race, gender (or lack thereof [!!]), religion, or sexual orientation—unless you are a Bible-practicing Christian or white or both, of course. The very fact that such discrimination exists means “inclusivity” […]
Matthew 7:6: “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.” In Matthew 7:1-5, part of Jesus’s famous Sermon on the Mount, the Lord tells us not to judge others in the sense of […]
